“There is a fine line between genius and insanity. I have erased this line.” It was originally said by the brilliant Oscar Levant, but it also applies to Elon Musk. The tech giant is the founder and CEO of Tesla, SpaceX, and Boring Company, has sent a mannequin in a spacesuit around the sun hundreds of times, and still finds time to date Hollywood hotties like Amber Heard and Cameron Diaz.

There are plenty of words to describe Elon Musk. Billionaire, philanthropist, genius, enthusiastic. However, our favorite would have to be “insane.” Over the decades he’s come up with hundreds of beautifully insane ideas that have changed technology in an incredible way, and still has plenty of projects under his (likely expensive) belt. Read on for just a few insane ideas from the amazing Elon Musk.

There’s no denying that Benjamin Franklin is an American icon. He created a lot of really awesome things – like the lightning rod, glass harmonica and Franklin stove – and most of us get super excited if we’re lucky enough to see his face as we pull out a $100 bill.

Did you know that he never patented any of his inventions? He claimed that “as we benefit from the inventions of others, we should be glad to share our own…freely and gladly.” That’s nice and all, but historians may have taken that first bit a little too far. While Franklin was a genius of his time, he may get a little more credit as an inventor than he deserves. Before history buffs bring out their pitchforks, read on for the top 5 things that people wrongfully think were invented by the Founding Father.

10 Signs The Mandela Effect is Real

How to ruin somebody’s childhood in 10 seconds? Tell them that Curious George never had a tail, Mister Rogers’ theme song goes differently than most people think, and a genie movie starring Sinbad NEVER existed. After they stop arguing with you and ask why you’re doing this to them, just blame the Mandela Effect.

The “Mandela Effect” is a phenomenon that occurs when large groups of people believe something happened a certain way, even when all evidence points to them being wrong. It was discovered by paranormal researcher Fiona Broome in 2010, after she discovered that “perhaps thousands” of others shared her false memory that Nelson Mandela had died in the 1980s – though he lived until 2013.

The concept is widely discussed by researchers – with many believing it to be proof of alternate realities, or perhaps even time travelers who have gone back and slightly altered the past (Stewie Griffin, is that you?). Of course, others think it’s just a bad memory, and there’s nothing else to it – but we totally disagree. Read on for 10 reasons why the Mandela Effect is totally real!
