Have you ever seen something in a movie or online and thought, "That's totally fake," only to find out it's absolutely a real thing? That's sort of how this house in Pennsylvania comes across. It just seems too fantastical to be real, and yet somehow it actually exists. The home sits between Greencastle and Mercersburg, Pennsylvania, and houses a pretty unique public secret. There's a cave in the basement. Not a man cave or a basement that makes you feel like you're in a cave, but an actual cave that you can't get to unless you go through the house. Turns out the cave was discovered in the 1830s on the land of John Coffey, according to Uncovering PA, but the story of how it was found is unclear. People would climb down into the cave to explore occasionally until the land was leased about 100 years later and a small structure was built over the cave opening.

Dr. Jason Singh, a primary care doctor based in Virginia, is revealing the three body parts you’re probably overlooking in the shower — your belly button, feet and ears.

“Let’s get real — when’s the last time you gave your belly button some TLC?” Singh asked his 96,300 TikTok followers in a clip last month.





“This area harbors dirt, sweat and bacteria, particularly true for those with deep-set, or what we call innie, belly buttons,” Singh continued. “The anatomy is such that the navel creates a warm, moist environment that can be a breeding ground for bacteria and fungus, which can then...

Thunderstorms have been a frequent flyer in parts of the Southwest and just about non-existent in other portions of the region. However, that will soon change. Summertime conditions have allowed parts of the southwestern United States to experience locally drenching and gusty thunderstorm activity, but storms have been scarce from western Arizona and Nevada to California thus far. However, AccuWeather meteorologists believe that may change as the calendar turns to August.

A bill quietly introduced this spring in the Colorado legislature to decriminalize the possession of drug paraphernalia obtained by harm reductionists has become law. As low-key as the legislation was introduced, the bill was signed into law without fanfare June 6. It garnered little to no media attention.
