Why hello there! Here’s a list I found at the Maxim website—”100 Things All Guys Should Know.” It is abbreviated here because I included only the things that I thought were really interesting/pertaining to everybody:

The best time of day to buy shoes
Late afternoon, when your feet have swollen to their largest size.

How to keep chisels and other bladed tools rust-free
Store them in wooden boxes. The wood absorbs moisture in the air, preventing rust.

How to win more coin tosses
Always call tails. On U.S. coins, the heads side, with its big, solid portrait, weighs infinitesimally more: In the course of 10,000 tosses, the lighter tails side will come up an extra 50 or so times.

The logic behind Mount Rushmore
Washington—the nation’s founding
Jefferson—the nation’s political philosophy
Lincoln—the nation’s preservation
Roosevelt—the nation’s expansion and conservation

The remedy for poison ivy
Baking soda and water. Lather, rinse, repeat.

The Seven Wonders of the Modern World (compiled in 1931, after we’d thrown up the Empire State Building)
-Empire State Building (U.S.)
-The Great Pyramids at Giza (Egypt)
-Leaning Tower of Pisa (Italy)
-Washington Monument (U.S.)
-Eiffel Tower (France)
-Taj Mahal (India)
-Hagia Sophia (Turkey)

How to relieve thirst in the wild
A pebble held in the mouth will stimulate saliva production and kill that dry-mouth feeling. Stay on the lookout for neon bar signs.

How to pick a ripe watermelon
Forget thumping on the hull or pressing the stem end: Color’s the key. The ripest, tastiest melons are an appetizing red on the inside, not that watery, why-bother pink, and that richness of color’s reflected on the outside. Look for a melon whose dark bands are wider than its light bands. The higher the ratio of dark to light outside, the darker the color (and the sweeter the meat) inside.

How to interpret equestrian statues
It is a convention—though one oft refuted—that the stance of the horse clues you in to the fate of the rider: If the horse is rearing, its rider died in battle; if only one leg’s in the air, he was wounded in battle; if all four hooves are on the ground, he died of other causes.

How to gauge the doneness of a steak without slicing into it
You can determine when a steak has finished cooking—whether it’s supposed to be rare, medium, or well-done—by giving it the finger. Press your forefinger into it lightly, as if picking up ink from a fingerprint pad, then touch your head and compare their firmness. A well-done steak should feel as firm as your forehead; a medium steak, as firm as your chin; and a rare steak, as firm as the end of your nose. Ain’t that cool?

Why Everest’s just tall enough
Mount Everest, earth’s highest peak, is 29,028 feet tall. If it were much higher, you couldn’t climb it without wearing a spacesuit. At around 35,000 feet, even inhaling 100 percent pure oxygen won’t suffice to keep you alive. Why? Because the extremely low pressure at that altitude lets nitrogen bubbles enter your bloodstream (the phenomenon deep-sea divers call the bends), which leads to embolisms and sometimes death.
