Source: DStv

Hugh Masekela is widely regarded as not only a talented singer and songwriter, but also one of the finest trumpet and flugelhorn players to have ever lived. He is also as the father of South African inspired jazz. His incredible musical talents are known across the world, and to say that Hugh has had a lasting influence on jazz is an understatement.

Hugh passed away age 78 in January 2018, and his incredible contribution to music will be remembered for many years. It isn’t just Hugh’s music that has made him a notable public figure, but also his vocal criticism of both South Africa and global politics. Let’s take a closer look at the man who is considered the Father of South African Jazz. [Read more…]

Are Twins Really Psychic?

When you see two humans looking virtually identical to one another, the first thought that enters your mind is that they must be psychic. I mean, what else would they be, if not connected by some amazing power that stretches across time and space? You’ve seen it in movies, normally cheesy science fiction ones, but surely this common perception holds some water, right?

Well, although there is no factual scientific evidence that twins have some sort of otherworldly mental connection, the stories are so common that it can almost be confirmed, without actually being scientifically proven. Some parents swear blind that their twins share some sort of psychic connection, with enough stories to put all but the biggest septic in their place. [Read more…]

The Cheapest Places to Buy Beer Globally

There are many important topics that are discussed, debated and argued over, resulting in raised voices and potentially even fists being thrown. Some of these topics include who the best sports teams are, and which Star Wars movie is the best. Perhaps the most passionately debated question, though, is where the cheapest places to buy beer are in the world.

Yes, it is a very serious question, and one that cannot be taken lightly. Rest easy though, as we’ve done the hard work for you, and have compiled a list that will put an end to the debates. The Deutsche Bank, for the benefit of everyone, and perhaps to help with this very debate, compiles an annual report titled Mapping The World’s Prices. The task involves taking an item, sourcing 50 prices from around the world, and sharing the findings. [Read more…]

Stars Who Ruined Themselves With Surgery

Being a celebrity must be a deeply demanding, often scary job. The world knows you and worships you based on your appearance, and losing that appearance virtually spells the end of a career. So, it is very understandable that some celebrities will do everything they can to hold on to their looks, even if it means turning to costly plastic surgery.

If done right, and a subtle approach taken, the effects can indeed be a lengthening of natural good looks. On the other hand, if pushed too far, a famous face can quickly become unrecognisable, all but destroying the purpose of the surgery itself. Results are sometimes horrifying, and often more than a little sad. [Read more…]

What will humans look like in another million years?

Everyone knows it’s just not possible to say what humans will look like in another million years. However, humans living at that time will likely to have had to cope with problems every bit as taxing as the issues faced by our own forbears a million years ago. Back then, Homo sapiens didn’t exist as a separate race. So around a million years ago, there was probably a handful of competing proto-human species roaming the earth. These included Homo heidelbergensis, which shared some characteristics with both Homo erectus and more modern humans, yet seemed to have a rather more primitive anatomy than that of their later Neanderthal cousins.

The World’s Weirdest Foods

Respecting other cultures means accepting that they are not always going to eat things you enjoy. This stands to reason, given that what is palatable is a matter of perspective, and widely open to interpretation. On the other hand, there are some dishes that make the world collectively raise an eyebrow, and question what exactly it is that has been put onto a dish and is now being passed off as something that should be placed in your mouth.

The Truth About Absinthe

Once banned around the world, the alcoholic beverage absinthe is now legally available in every country where alcohol is legal. A 1990s revival of the drink stirred up a great deal of excitement, but their first taste left many drinkers disappointed. Where were the green fairies?

It is popularly believed that the spirit distilled from neutral alcohol, herbs and spices can cause hallucinations. Its nickname of the Green Fairy may have something to do with it, but so may Baz Luhrmann’s 2001 film, Moulin Rouge. The scene in which Kylie Minogue appears briefly as a green otherworldly being no doubt replayed in the minds of many first-timers as they raised their glasses. [Read more…]

Hal 9000 Now Available To Own

Anyone who has seen the classic science fiction film 2001: A Space Odyssey is aware of a few things. The first is that 2001, despite being some time ago now, did not offer the vast majority of the things promised in the movie. Well, Skype covers the video calls shown in the movie, but we’re a long way off from giant rotating space stations.

The second thing fans of the film will notice is that killer artificial intelligence software has not been achieved, which is enough to ruin anyone’s day. You would think by now we had at least managed to create an AI capable of pulling off a murder or two. After all, this is hardly the future we had all been dreaming of when the most we have is mildly sassy phone assistant software. [Read more…]
