Interesting Things with JC #1720: "The Name That Turned a City into a Canvas" – A New York City teenager writes the same name across all five boroughs until a newspaper reveals who he is, and within days thousands of others begin creating identities of their own, turning subway trains into moving canvases and pushing graffiti from simple signatures to full-car murals.
Interesting Things with JC #1719: "Drop D Tuning" – A guitarist lowers one string by two semitones, and power chords that once required multiple finger shapes become a straight line across the fretboard, changing how riffs are written and helping define the sound of modern heavy rock.
Interesting Things with JC #1718: "The Moment New York Set the Style" - Discover how Eleanor Lambert’s 1943 "Press Week" broke the fashion world’s reliance on Paris and established the American look as a global powerhouse. We examine the wartime ingenuity and iconic designers that transformed New York into the epicenter of modern style.
Interesting Things with JC #1718: "Why Is There a Gap in the Toilet Seat?" – Airports, restaurants, offices, and highway rest stops all use toilet seats with the same piece missing from the front. It looks unfinished, appears almost everywhere, and the empty space is doing something most people never notice.
Interesting Things with JC #1716: "The Legendary Jim Kilts" – Gillette had missed earnings expectations for 14 straight quarters, yet most of its executives were still earning top performance ratings. Jim Kilts saw the contradiction immediately, and fixing it changed one of America's most iconic companies.
Interesting Things with JC #1715: "Hunny, Bunny, and the Twins Who Married the Twins" – Identical twins Hunny and Bunny meet identical twins Elliot and Danny while working at a Catskills hotel, and neither pair can tell the other apart. By the end of the summer, two couples have formed, and the similarities don't stop at their faces
Interesting Things with JC #1714: "When Gut Bacteria Escape" – Bacteroides fragilis lives normally inside the colon until the intestinal wall breaks and gut bacteria spill into the sterile abdomen. The same organism now sits in a different part of the body, where a mixed infection can begin sealing itself inside a pocket of damaged tissue.
Interesting Things with JC #1713: "How Do You Catch Legionnaires' Disease?" – Fifty-four people are diagnosed with Legionnaires' disease in two Manhattan neighborhoods as investigators test cooling towers across the area. Legionella genetic material appears in systems at 31 buildings, but finding the bacterium and finding the source are not the same thing.
