The music industry has cursed and blessed us with many hit single dance crazes. Some songs, like the "Cha-Cha Slide" provide directions that guide the awkward middle schooler or the drunk wedding goer. Some dance crazes are not as logical. For instance the dancing that followed from the Harlem Shake. Often these dance routines came from music videos like Michael Jackson’s iconic dance moves in "Thriller."

6 Things Owning A Cat Has Taught Me
Liz Abere

Owning a pet can get difficult and expensive. Sometimes, their vet bills cost hundreds of dollars just for one visit. On top of that, pets also need food, a wee wee pad for a dog, a litter box with litter for a cat, toys, and treats. Besides having to spend hundreds of dollars on them, they provide a great companion and are almost always there when you need to talk to someone.

The names and dates of the reigns of the first four kings, as well as the alternation of Sabin and Latin names, are more legendary than historical. The last three kings, of Etruscan origin, have an existence which seems less uncertain.
