"How Do They Really Recruit Spies Agencies like the CIA and MI6 are tasked with collecting and processing data deemed potentially vital to their respective counties national interests and then in an ideal world making sure those who need to know this information to inform their decisions and plans know it. In order to do this they need people on the ground so to speak. So how do these agencies actually recruit those who work for them both domestically and in more clandestine roles abroad This is an abridged version of a video on our channel TodayIFoundOut which you can check out and subscribe"

"What Do Scientologists Actually Believe The Church of Scientology has a reputation as an infamously secretive and litigious organisation that hides its inner workings far from the prying eyes of the public. As a result we kind of expected piecing together the churchs beliefs and stance on certain social issues to be a difficult unforgiving slog. As it turns out this wasnt on the surface the case and the church is surprisingly forthcoming about both although some feel theres a veneer of insincerity in much of their official writings given what often leaks about their leadership to the press."

A majority of schools in the United States particularly beyond primary age give grades of A B C D or F. Rather than a failure on the part of academic institutions to know the alphabet the simple answer is that F stands for fail. The other four grades are more or less considered passing (though in some districts a D is also a failing grade) which is why they go in alphabetical order.

"What was It Really Like to Be a Gladiator Gladiatorial combat may seem outdated and barbaric but it is at its heart a combat sport like mixed martial arts boxing and even professional wrestling with very similar appeal. There were clearly defined rules a sense of dramatic flair with costumes and even character archetypes. It was indeed bloody but not as nearly as fatal as many think today. Not every gladiator died in the arena and those who made it past their first handful of matches even less so beyond. That isnt to say that gladiator fights didnt also come with many deaths. For example"

"Does Darth Vader Poop You always remember the bad guy. These were the words of the late David Prowse the man who physically portrayed Darth Vader in the original trilogy and its kind of ridiculous just how right he was. Around a half century later Darth Vader is just as iconic and instantly recognisable as he was when he first power-walked into frame to his own theme song like a boss. Since then a mind-boggling amount of content has been created featuring the Dark Lord of the Sith explaining near enough everything about him. Ignoring the fact that covering such details so exhaustively sort of"

"The Nazi Pilot Who Saved an American Bomber to Keep His Humanity The pilot community on the whole is surprisingly close-knit with fellow pilots seemingly always willing to extend a helping hand to their winged brethren. This is seemingly the case even during war amongst pilots otherwise trying to kill one another as illustrated previously in our article on the real Red Baron and in the subject of today's article- that time a German Luftwaffe pilot risked his own life to save the crew of an American B-17 bomber. This particular tale occurred on December [--] [----] during a bombing raid by the"
