These days, Walt Disney Studios is largely in the spotlight thanks to major tentpole franchises like the Marvel Cinematic Universe and everything coming from Lucasfilm’s Star Wars division. That’s far from the end of the studio’s reach, however, thanks to an extensive history in filmmaking that spans more than 80 years. This all started with the company’s first-ever animated feature, Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, which is now the next project in line for Disney to get a live-action remake....

You’ve probably heard people profess their fondness for getting behind the wheel and taking off on an unplanned trip. They see “the road” as an attraction in an abstract sense.

A few of these offbeat avenues pass through mountains and at least one goes through the middle of a building....

Off-gassing is the release of chemicals from the stuff we bring into our homes, or that our homes are actually made of. In drafty old houses with lots of air changes it wasn’t much of a problem, but as we build our houses tighter for energy efficiency, these chemicals can build up inside. The craziest part of it all is that we go out and buy them without knowing what’s in them, and often stockpile them in the bathroom, the tiniest room of the house with the worst ventilation....

NASA calls Lyman Spitzer Jr. (1914-1997) one of the 20th century’s greatest scientists. The longtime Princeton astrophysicist lobbied for a large space telescope as early as 1946, work that culminated in the launch of the Hubble Space Telescope in 1990. After Spitzer’s death in 1997, NASA continued to develop the Great Observatories Program, a group of four space-based telescopes each observing the universe in a different kind of light. Besides Hubble, the other telescopes include Compton Gamma Ray Observatory (CGRO) and the Chandra X-Ray Observatory (CXO)....

In 1991, a group of hikers exploring the Ötztal Alps on the Austrian-Italian border came across the mummified corpse of a person half-entombed in ice.

Local officials brought in to examine the scene further floated the possibility that it was the body of an Italian solider lost during one of the World Wars....

Smokey the Bear wasn’t born in a cave, you know. He was born on Madison Avenue in 1944 to the same parents as the Crash Test Dummies, McGruff the Crime Dog and the Crying Indian.
