One of our favorite pastimes here at Cracked is sucking the mystery out of life like the cream out of a Twinkie, leaving only the bland, dry sponge cake of reality behind. To that end, we've decided to list the often mundane solutions to some of the world's most enduring mysteries, and once again, you're welcome.

Note: As much as we like to act like we have all the answers, the truth is that we're probably even more freaked out by this weird-ass world than you are. After all, we've dedicated a sizeable portion of our site just to pointing out things that no one has been able to figure out yet.

But the weirdest thing that we haven't figured out is, ironically, what we haven't yet figured out. This Cracked Classic is about the misconceptions we have about what's actually mysterious. Are you still with us? What we're saying is that things you think of as simple mundanities are more likely to be mysteries than the things you think of as mysteries. Do you follow? There's nothing strange about Amelia Earhart and Atlantis -- that's our point. -Cracked
