It's got all the biggies--9/11, JFK, Apollo, and Pearl Harbor.  Also Kurt Cobain's suicide--no, Courtney didn't kill him.  Self-medicating for depression with heroin killed him.

There have been a few Cracked articles lately which have been truly excellent.

There are a couple of authors there whose articles I read even if the subject doesn't interest me--John Cheese is a good enough writer that I suffer through his video game articles, though even that isn't enough to make me read the professional wrestling ones.  I'm fond of Christina H., too; for one thing, her articles are practically the only ones on the site which don't assume that everyone reading them is male.

Cracked's idea of terrifying tends toward hyperbole, it's last article on AI was actually very fascinating, but it still can be quite entertaining. I tend to avoid the videos mostly, but otherwise it rates a daily visit.
