Our kitchens are filled with tools and gadgets that are supposed to make whipping up dinner easier. While essential kitchen utensils can speed up the process, not every option available is worth stuffing into your cabinets. A quality knife or kitchen shears are more versatile options that won't end up sitting in a drawer taking up space and collecting dust.

The mysterious Shroud of Turin, which is believed by many Christians to have laid atop Jesus Christ's body after his crucifixion, may be even stranger than we previously thought. In a new study published in the journal Archaeometry, Brazilian 3D designer Cicero Moraes lends credence to the theory that the shroud was a work of art rather than a genuine death shroud — and per the new paper, it may not have laid atop a human at all.
