You can find anything in stock imagery. For today’s weekend guide, I was originally going to suggest some wine tasting but then I thought, nah, let’s go for the kidnapping instead. A French company called Ultime Réalité is offering customers a ‘basic abduction package’, which involves your own kidnapping, ‘Taken’ style (à la Liam Neeson), for [...]
So remember that time a bunch of aliens crash landed into the desert somewhere in Nevada, a.k.a Studio 54 Area 51 (always get those two mixed up) … well it turns out the U.S. government actually went and plagiarized the aliens’ quirky style of air travel in the 1950s (not very successfully).

It boasts the world’s fourth-largest and Europe’s wealthiest and largest regional economy. But one small corner of the region paints a very different picture. Just a thirty minute drive north [...]
You just don’t hear stories like this anymore… A painting by the French impressionist Pierre-Auguste Renoir that hasn’t been seen since 1926, presumed lost forever, has turned up in a flea market in Virginia for the bargain price of $7. Sitting in a box of bric-a-brac, neither the vendor nor the woman who bought it [...]
