Diana Nyad, a 64 year old woman (and decorated endurance swimmer) has just completed a record-breaking swim. She swam from Cuba to Florida nonstop, without a shark cage, and it took her 52 hours to complete the journey. Yes, she was swimming for more than two days nonstop. She has been attempting this journey for the past 35 years (she was 28 when she started), and this was her 5th time. She also said it would be her last attempt, win or fail. I'm glad she won. You know, I can barely complete Read More
Dear Vera, Is This Nigerian Couple Insane?
When it comes to weddings, I have seen many, many things, but this one is completely new for me. Today's mail came in from an anonymous Verastic reader who was a guest at this wedding.

I'm very, very sure that they will not be able to act out everything in the book, otherwise it'll just be full blown porn. We, the fans, have been wondering who would play the part of Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele. Personally, I was more focused on Christian Grey than I was on Anastasia. I thought it Read More
