600 years, and Lilo still can't figure out how they work.

I don't think she's very good at "figuring things out" or "thinking" or anything like that.

Proposed Ohio law would make it illegal to do anything in your car that takes your eyes off the road. This includes fussing with your radio, eating, sightseeing, etc. Basically a way for you to be ticketed for pretty much anything.

21 people suffer 2nd and 3rd degree burns at a Tony Roberts motivational seminar after walking on hot coals. Haha. If it were like one or two people, I could understand, because they didn't know that they were actually going to be burned, but if you're person number 19, and you see a bunch of people in front of you who just got off the coals with their feet melting, writhing around in pain on the ground, what the hell are you thinking jumping on them? Maybe that Tony Robbins guy is actually a great motivational speaker. He can convince people to walk into obvious bodily harm!

Georgia man dies during threesome. Family is awarded $3,ooo,ooo malpractice award. The claim is that his cardiologist failed to warn him to refrain from physical activites. Like three-ways.

Manta Rays being driven to extinction due to their demand in Chinese medicine. Goddamnit you fucking morons. Learn 2 science. That shit doesn't cure cancer or herpes or make your penis grow ten sizes overnight. It's useless and you're eliminating a species because of your ignorance. UGh. (Some very pretty Manta ray pics in the article though)


Cops shoot Golden Retreiver in marijuana raid. People get upset. Sheriff threatens legal action against people upset and posting pictures on internet of dead dog. This is fucking horrible all around.

I love reading about stories like this, it kind of one of those things that helps to show you how insignificant our planet is in the grand scale

Well that's just unsettling, sir.






Also, i the Dros news reports. You always find the interesting articles, digging the commentary too.

The Chinese and Jenny McCarthy are just annoying with their anti-smart shit mumbojumbo.

18 Chinese cops mistake sex doll for person; save sex-doll from drowning. Who doesn't love a story with a happy ending.

Greek Olympian kicked off of Olympic team for racist twitter joke. It's a shame because she's pretty hot in some of the pictures I've seen. Stupid racist hot chicks.

How our brains see each other. Men are seen as people and women are seen as body parts. Both genders process images of men and women differently. If this is right, objectification of women is a built-in flaw, it seems.

Google Fiber rolls out in Kansas City. This is incredible. 1 Gigabit connection, a TB of storage on Google Drive, no usage caps, and "hundreds of HD television stations" for $120 a month. Google please bring this to my town next, sirs.

Graham Spanier, former President of Penn State who was ousted after allowing Jerry Sandusky to continue to rape little boys 13 years after he first found out about it, hired by the US government to work on "Top Secret" national security issues. Disgusting. The guy should be unemployed, if not in jail. Although, I guess the government does know that he's able to keep secrets since he kept the news of an assistant coach molesting little boys on a major college campus a secret for more than a decade.

Scientist creates world's largest coral semen collection. Funny title. The purpose is to save the genetic material in the event most of the world's coral dies out due to ocean acidification.

Gorillas dismantle a poacher's traps! Rise of the Planet of the Apes!

Twitter is breaking the Olympics. ..get a better data plan, Olympics.

Apple to change connector pin for the first time in 9 years. Prepare for all new iDevices to be incompatable with all your old peripherals. Dick move.

Thank Wasps for Beer, Bread and Wine. The guts of wasps apparently provide a place for yeast to live during the winter, without which beer, bread and wine would be near difficult to grow.

Internet porn is seasonal. Hrm. I guess it kind of makes sense, but still interesting to see.

New species of fish has its penis on its chin. WIth pictures. Lovely.

Billionaire is going to create a real-life Jurassic Park! Life will find a way! Let me also predict that this doesn't happen any time soon because we're nowhere near technologically capable of doing it yet.

Man sentenced to jail for collecting rainwater on his property. Haha. Some laws are such a joke.

MP calls for ban on tattooed preacher who "cures" cancer by kicking people in the face. So, yeah, I think if you believe this guy you actually deserve to get kicked in the face.

So, you know how in movies where there's some sort of emegerncy everyone is like, "WOMEN AND CHILDREN FIRST!?" Yeah, well, science says that's not what happens. Women and children finished last in a study of real-life shipwrecks.

I though you would have said "cheap move" but hey, nothing is cheap with Apple. That's what you get for agreeing to pay double the price for an extra "i" on your device

Is it me or there is like half a jaw in front of it ? Doesn't make it very appealing

We're still animals, so survival instinct prevail over the rest.

I love this thread.

17 foot Burmese python carrying 87 eggs captured in Florida. Good god. Way to let non-native animals with no natural predators out and fuck up shit all over FL, you guys. Quote from the article: When they get that big they "can eat anything they want."

Gonorrhea drug resistance continues; CDC says there's only 1 drug left to treat it. Coolio. Watch out for Gonorrhea, you guys. You won't be able to get rid of it so easily in the future.

Teens have oral sex earlier than they have vaginal sex. In other news, USA Today breaks that the sky is blue, but sometimes grey and turns black at night.

The sun is the most perfect sphere ever measured. It's kind of an amazing ball of gas and fire, if you think about it.

A Male Birth Control Pill! Well, not so fast. They're investingating a new potential possibility for it and have gotten it to work in mice, but it's not here for humans quite yet.

New Human Ancestor fossils found in Africa. The first paragraph gives a good, (very) quick overview of our ancestors and the species that branged out from the Homo genus.

A few posts ago I mentioned how a billionaire wanted to create a Jurassic Park of his own, and speculated that it wouldn't happen. This is why.

WiFi police scour London searching for anyone broadcasting an unauthorized WiFi hotspot, and other Olympic sponsorship absurdities.

Try the Chimpanzee diet! Lots of figs. Termites and ants too.

College football (handegg for the non-Americans) player punches woman over game of beer pong. Seems like a reasonable response.

90 year old vaccine may cure type 1 diabetes. Wow. Also, there's a lovely disheartening section in there about how they'll have trouble getting it to market because a number of the pharma companies they approached said there wasn't enough money in it.

Founder of Crocs shoes company (ugh) arrested for DUI. He told the cops that his girlfriend, Taylor Swift, was actually driving the car. Back in real life, Taylor swift is 22 and not dating this old rich guy, and was certainly not anywhere near his vehicle. But hey, good try. But you should still burn in hell for creating those unbelievably atrocious shoes.

Boar and Fox help Kangaroo escape animal park. This sounds like an animated movie.

Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy, Droseph is news posting. Always enjoy the articles you find (and the comments lulz).

Bear family drinks more than 100 beers after breaking into cabin. Bears know how to fuckin' party right, you guys. Hope some of those brewskis were BL Nums.

Study shows wives drink more alcohol than single women do. Shocking. If you had to live with some dirty, hairy, smelly, unhygenic, goof, cook his dinner and do his skid-marked wash, I bet you'd be driven to drink pretty quickly too.

How dogs get dry so quickly by shaking themselves off. They get rid of 70% of the water in their coat in 4 seconds. That's pretty damn awesome.

Lab worker found having a half-naked, drunken party with monkeys. Apparently that's against the rules or something. Although I'm sure he was having a pretty good time. Don't see the problem. Unless he tried to get carnal with the monkeys. That might be over the line. And the article didn't say which half of this guy was naked, so...I guess we have to consider that a possibility.

Zebra herpes kills zoo polar bears. And you thought your STDs were bad.

Cops try to pull over woman driving topless. She flees. When they catch up with her, she says she ran because she didn't want to be pulled over topless. Flawless logic, IMO.

Satan appears before a local weather report. Strange that he would make an appearance on such a dull between-show interlude.

DNA used to store a book. Sounds mundane, but it's actually pretty incredible. The book was 5 megs, containing 53,246 words, 11 image files and a java program. It's still in its infancy, but this certainly has the capacity to save FAR more than any current types of digital memory. Kanzen has a DNA-drive on pre-order, I hear.

European insurance company hosted lavish orgy for its employees, audit finds. Well, you've got to reward your employees for a job well done, I always say.

Sandpiper birds skip sleeping for days if there's lots of sex to be had. Awesome birds.

This is a good thread.

You should feel good.

Well, then, here's one just for you:

Canadian bride-to-be falls off cliff to her death while taking pre-wedding photos. Do I really need to write a caption as to why this is here?


Also, these:

26 Yr Old Russian woman strangles elderly neighbor with her bra. This story is useless without pictures Hopefully they update the story, you know, to give us a better picture of the kind of psychopath we're dealing with here.

Momma said Knock You Out! LL Cool J breaks nose and jaw of moron robber who broke into his house. Dude, have you ever seen LL Cool J? If you want to break into a singer's house and try to steal their shit, look up Bieber's address. Or a Jonas Brother. Much respect for LL here.

Spongebob Squarepants in trouble in the Ukraine for "promoting homosexuality." He seems more like an ADD riddled sponge than some big homosexual to me, but maybe my sponge-gaydar is off.

Forbes list of most surprising jobs that pay >$100k/yr. Interesting list, but, of course they're taking like the top earners in those professions. If you take the top 10% of any profession you'd probably be surprised at how much they make.

Lost Egyptian Pyramids found? First line of the article says they were found using Google Earth. Neat, I guess.

Semen as an anti-depressant. If you believe this study, the claim is that Women Who Have Unprotected Sex Are Happier, Smarter Thanks to Mood-Elevating Properties of Semen. I'm a big fan of the raw-dog sexing (with girls you're committed to guys, gottay watch out for peener sores on the one-nighters and strange birds), but little did I know I was also doing them a solid by enhancing their mental health. And here I thought it was just being around me that put them in a good mood! Ha, just kidding, it had to be something else.

It would probably be EVEN BETTER if they swallowed the semen.

Also, LL Cool J is like, a tank of a man. I'm pretty sure if he hit me my head would explode.

Shark mating rituals are fucking intense! This article is a book review of Demon Fish: Travels through the Hidden World of Sharks by Juliet Eilperin. From the review:

Quote:

‘Many scientists don’t like to talk about shark sex,’ Juliet Eilperin writes in her entertaining study of sharks and their world. ‘They worry it will only reinforce the popular perception that these creatures are brutish and unrelenting.’ In as far as we understand the subject – only a few species have been observed mating – the business is ‘very rough’. Larger male sharks have to bite or trap the females to keep them around during courtship; marine biologists can tell when a female has been mating because her skin will be raw or bleeding. The process is so violent that, come the mating season, female nurse sharks will stay in shallow water with their reproductive openings pressed firmly to the sea floor. Otherwise they risk falling prey to roaming bands of males who ‘will take turns inserting their claspers in her’ (the clasper is the shark version of a penis, found in a pair behind the pelvic fins). A litter of fifty pups will have anything from two to seven fathers.

And

Quote:

Sand tiger foetuses ‘eat each other in utero, acting out the harshest form of sibling rivalry imaginable’. Only two babies emerge, one from each of the mother shark’s uteruses: the survivors have eaten everything else. ‘A female sand tiger gives birth to a baby that’s already a metre long and an experienced killer...

OMG. I have to read this book. And never be reincarnated as a female shark.

Moving on...

Texas may stop sending convicted prostitutes to jail. It's a good start. A better solution would be to decriminalize the damn buying and selling of sex, because what the fuck do you think buying a broad a bunch of beers at the bar or dinner and a movie or whatever is? Also the whole victimless nature of it and all that jazz. But it's still a good start.

Do giraffes mourn their dead? It seems infrequently, but sometimes. A number of higher mammals do.

Hackers getting close to being able to steal your thoughts! Ok, well, that might be a little bit of an exaggeration. But still.

Deaf 3-year old child told he has to change his name because the sign-language gesture for his current name "Hunter" is against school district policy at his preschool. Go fuck yourself whomever you are trying to enforce this assinine policy. Really. You should be ashamed at your lack of humanity and your utter idiocy. Abominable.

Regular use of weeeeeed by adolescents seems to permanently lower IQ. The study showed that regular users who started smoking cannabis before age 18 had an 8-point decline in IQ by the age of 38. Even if they stopped smoking weed it never came back. (Although if you started smoking during adulthood you still lose some IQ points but they return after stopping use) So, let that be a lesson to you that if you're under 18...GET OFF THIS SITE GODDAMMIT ITS A PORN SITE AND YOURE NOT ALLOWED HERE! Also, don't smoke weed.

Sasquatch struck and killed by cars. Upon autopsy it turns out it was just a guy in a sasquatch suit. What a disappointment. According to his friends, "alcohol may have been involved." Also shocking.

Makes sense...all the potheads I know are fucking retarded.

Made the right call, self. *nods*
