Humans and rats have lived in an uneasy relationship for millennia. Rats have spread diseases like the bubonic plague, destroyed grain harvests, and stolen our pizzas. 

In return, rats have given humans…...pretty much nothing. 

As such, humans have waged a relentless war against rats which for the most part has gone nowhere. However, there are some fronts where we have had amazing success.

If you visit a different country you might need to get some of the local currency. You might get Ringgit in Malaysia, Pesos in Mexico, Kip in Laos, or Tala in Samoa. 

However, there is one country where you have to be careful what currency you get because there are different notes produced in different parts of the country, and the different notes aren’t accepted everywhere in the country.

But did Gutenberg actually invent the printing press? Should he be given credit for this important invention?

There are many foods that are considered an acquired taste. Foods that might not be very palatable the first time you try it, or something that just doesn’t sit right with most people.

It could be something as simple as blue cheese, or something like the Filipino delicacy, balut, which is a boiled, fertilized egg with the embryo still inside. 

Sweden has its own acquired taste delicacy which has spawned hundreds of reaction videos as people and caused it to be banned by airlines.

The ancient Egyptian civilization was one of the oldest civilizations that we know of on Earth. While there is much we know about them, knowledge of their system of writing, known as hieroglyphics had become lost by the middle ages.

Where there were different theories as to what the writing meant, no one was really sure how to read hieroglyphics.

All of this changed in 1799 when French troops under Napoleon Bonaparte discovered a stone that unlocked the secrets of the language.

The longbow was one of the most devastating weapons in medieval Europe. It was a weapon that could launch projectiles hundreds of yards and pierce the heaviest of armor. It was the battlefield trump card to heavy armored cavalry.

No country adopted and mastered the longbow quite like the English. One reason why they found the military success they did was due to a complete societal commitment to the longbow. 

Learn more about why the longbow was so powerful, and how an entire country was transformed by it on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Yet, few people know who he is.

Of the 193 countries in the United Nations, exactly three haven’t adopted the widespread use of the metric system: Myanmar, Liberia, and the United States of America.

Of those three, the US is the country that really stands out. It has the biggest economy in the world, does an incredible amount of international trade, has immigrants from every country in the world, and is even the home to the United Nations.

If there was one country on paper that should be using the metric system, it is the United States.

Yet, we don’t.

In the Roman Republic, men of senatorial rank could compete for political offices which were placed in a set order and had to be earned sequentially.  

This hierarchy was known as the Cursus Honorum. 

The Cursus Honorum was the basis of political and social life in ancient Rome, and the fortunes of entire families could rise and fall based on how high someone could climb.

North America and Europe have much which separates them culturally as well as geographically. One of the biggest differences is in the area of sports.

Not just which sports we play, but in how sports are organized. Many people on either side of the Atlantic have no clue how sports are organized on the other side, or at least have major misconceptions.

Learn more about how sports are managed and operated in Europe and North American on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Each of the 50 states in the United States has a unique history. 13 of them were originally British Colonies. Some of them were former Spanish or French territory. Most of them were officially US territories before they became states.

A few, however, were actually independent countries before they joined the Union…..or at least they sort of were independent countries.

Learn more about the states that were once countries on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Ask most Muslims what the holiest site is in Islam, and they would all obviously tell you it is the Kaaba at the Great Mosque of Mecca.

Ask most Jews, and they probably know what the holiest site is in Judaism. It is the Western Wall of the Second Temple in Jerusalem.

Ask most Christians what the holiest site is in Christianity, and you might get a blank stare or at least several different answers. 

Through most of Christianity, there has been one place that has been agreed upon as the holiest site, and it has been the cause of wars and disagreements which have continued to this day.

For eight seasons, the TV show Dexter showed the fictional life of a crime-solving forensics expert who just so happened to have been a serial killer who killed serial killers. 

This got me wondering, has there ever been a real-life Dexter? A killer, or even a criminal, who targeted other criminals?

Well, there sort of has been. Learn the story of the real-life Dexter on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

The ancient Romans had a practice called Damnatio Memoriae, which was to banish someone’s memory from public life. It was also sometimes known as oblivion. It called for the complete deletion of the person’s name or image from all statues, inscriptions, coins, and texts. 

While the practice neither began nor ended with the Romans, they are ones who gave it the name we used today.

Sports history is littered with really bad teams. The 1976 Tampa Bay Buccaneers didn’t win a single game and wound up losing 26 in a row. The 2012 Charlotte Bobcats went 7-59 for a .106 winning percentage. The 1899 Cleveland Spiders set a record for futility in baseball winning only 20 games out of 154. 

However, all of those teams are giants compared to the worst professional sports team in history: The Washington Generals.

One of my dirty secrets is that I’m a fan of pro wrestling. Whenever I tell people this the first thing I inevitably hear is, “you know it's fake right?”

This idea that people think professional wrestling is real comes from the concept that wrestling insiders call kayfabe.

Learn about the history of kayfabe and how this concept from professional wrestling can be used to navigate the modern world on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Pablo Escobar was the biggest drug lord the world has ever known. At the height of his power, he had a near-monopoly on cocaine trade in the United States. He had a peak inflation-adjusted net worth of $60 billion dollars. He was personally responsible for thousands of murders and dozens of acts of terrorism in Colombia.

Today in Colombia, there are approximately 100 hippopotamuses roaming wild.

What do these two things have to do with each other? Well, everything.

Traditionally, the royal families of Europe would arrange marriages amongst their children to establish alliances and bonds between their houses. 

While this really isn’t done that much anymore, it also wasn’t that long ago that it was done. One monarch, in particular, Queen Victoria, was really good and marrying off her children. So good in fact that almost every royal house in Europe can trace their ancestry back to her.

Boxing used to be one of the most popular sports in the world. A world championship bout would draw millions of people to their radios or televisions and could pack the largest stadiums. 

Since then, it has waned in popularity in no small part due to the confusing array of titles and organizations which now exist. The WBA, WBC, IBF, WBO, IBO, WBF, and IBA and many other organizations all with their own set of initials, all hand out titles.

Have you ever been told to follow the chain of command or else? In most organizations with a hierarchy or with a bureaucracy, there is a set way in which things have to be done. If you have a suggestion or a complaint, you have to go to your immediate superior, and not jump over anyone’s head.

If it wasn’t for one man jumping over the heads of his superiors and jeopardizing his job, we might never have landed on the moon.

For many people, the Dow Jones Industrial Average is the measure of the health of the overall stock market. In reality, the Dow Jones Industrial Average is really just the performance of a collection of 30 blue-chip stocks.

The index was created in 1896 and back then there were only 12 stocks in the index, and most of them are no longer household names. 

Learn more about the original companies which made up the Dow Jones Industrial Average and what happened to them over the last 125 years on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

The highest and most prestigious award in the United States military is the Medal of Honor. It is awarded for only acts of extreme valor and bravery. Established during the Civil War in 1863, it has been awarded 3,506 times. 

If you read through the list of Medal of Honor recipients, you will read stories of heroism, honor, and sacrifice.

Of all of the Medal of Honor winners, there was one recipient’s story that really stood out to me. It went beyond bravery and valor to just genuine badassery.
