Did you used to watch Boy Meets World? I know I did, but what I didn't know was that along with the helpful life lessons of Mr. Feeny, we viewers were also all learning about the secret world of the Illuminati. Well, maybe not so much "learning about" as much as "being indoctrinated into," but still, Boy Meets World was… » 1/15/14 7:00pm 1/15/14 7:00pm

Before the salt water had even evaporated from superhuman Diana Nyad's magical swim cap, other people in the long distance swimming community were all lined up with their suspiciously sour grapes-y doubts that maybe the 64-year-old had somehow faked part of her inspiring swim from Cuba to Florida.
