By David Germain | May 13
Though he preaches research and good science in the classroom, the world’s most famous archaeologist often is an acquisitive tomb raider in the field with a scorched-earth policy about what he leaves behind. While actual archaeologists like the guy and his movies, they wouldn’t necessarily want to work alongside him on a dig.

A Cut Above :: The best knives, for any occasion
By Jason Salzenstein | May 12
A true gourmet knows that the quality of his or her creations come as a result of good ingredients, skill, and the quality of tools at his or her disposal. When it comes to kitchen knives this is especially important; no matter what you’re cutting, it’s easier and faster if you’ve got the right blade. Good knives are an investment, and they should last many years. (Not to mention the fact that nice knives make your kitchen look so much better...)
