It's been four years since the charismatic and rugged actor Robert Conrad died at 84. Best known for feature films like Palm Springs Weekend, and the trio of hit TV shows, Hawaiian Eye, Wild Wild West, and Black Sheep Squadron (a.k.a., Baa Baa Black Sheep), Robert Conrad was one tough cookie. This is his story.

High-concept verging on slightly terrifying, comic Jordan Brookes’s latest is show is about the not uncommon subject of getting older. Kind of. In a way. Brookes’s response to the ongoing passing of his thirties is, apparently, to get really into RMS Titanic, ‘because that’s the sort of thing that people do’.

From its early-aughts status as a hipster hub to its most current standing as one of the most expensive neighborhoods in all of New York City, Williamsburg is primed for roasting. And at this comedy night at Cafe Balearica, some of the city’s best comics—including Eagle Witt, Derek Drescher, Chloe Lebranche, Torey Cole and Chris Barnes—will poke fun at the preternaturally cool Brooklynl ‘hood.

There are few things on Earth more exciting than stumbling across a chaotic blooming of rainbow wildflowers somewhere unexpected. Despite a popular belief held overseas that Australia is 98 per cent arid outback (with a tiny slice of Bondi Beach thrown into the mix), our land Down Under is actually home to a veritable abundance of stunningly beautiful wildflowers that have to be seen to be believed.

The mantis shrimp is one tough customer. Beautiful and deadly are two words you don’t typically use to describe shrimp, but the mantis shrimp is definitely in a class of its own; earning a reputation as the ‘savage boxer of the sea’ and one of the most fearsome creatures in the ocean. And, they're right at home here in South Carolina.

The housing market in Sydney is no joke. In fact, a recent study revealed that Sydney’s housing market is the second most unaffordable in the world, and with the cost of living in Sydney rapidly increasing (faster than it is in regional areas), it makes sense to consider setting up camp outside of the city. While there are a lot of regional areas where house prices are still pretty steep (popular spots like Byron Bay, we’re looking at you), there are towns and suburbs across NSW where homes cost a full 50 per cent less than they do in the city.

In these 30 NSW suburbs, houses cost half as much as they do in Sydney

Peanut butter and blueberries are, rather alarmingly, Bilal’s favourite sandwich filling. He thinks the two dramatically different textures help each other go down better. In other words, his lunch is an allegory for Suhaiymah Manzoor-Khan’s bittersweet British Muslim romcom, in which the roughcut Brummie lad meets cute - or cute-ish - with Hafsah, a demure but steely lass from Bradford.
