Just because summer is about halfway over (or has only halfway started if you’re looking at the bright side) doesn’t mean it’s too late to start plowing through Duke Cannon’s essential summer reading list. But just a warning: if you’re looking for the latest teenage vampire drama, the next fad...

Recently, we published our list of the best and worst gifts for Dads, but we received quite a few sternly-written letters from archaeologists and historians who argued that our very modern view of the world ignored fathers of the past. So, to make things right, we employed our research team...

We surveyed almost 57 million dads to identify a ranking of the top Father’s Day gifts. Rounding out the bottom five were these gems. Buy any one of these gifts, and dad won’t get mad, but he’ll be really disappointed in you. #1: World’s Best Dad Mug More like, “World’s...

Let’s get straight to the point. Dad already owns a sawzall, a decent grill, and most hard goods he’ll need to survive well into the apocalypse. Instead of buying him something that will end up in the backyard shed with the price tag still affixed, consider one of the items...
