A North Carolina man was none too pleased with one of his daughter Hannah's Facebook posts. So instead of just telling her, he decided to tell the world exactly how he felt in a YouTube video. (Warning: This video contains strong language and content.) After already grounding Hannah for three months for what he refers to as a similar incident in the past, Tommy Jordan decided to take his disciplinary action to a whole new, more public level. Jordan uploaded a video of himself sitting in a lawn chair reading aloud his 15-year-old daughter's post and then shooting nine hollow-point rounds into her computer with his .45-caliber gun. Jordan, who is an IT consultant, says he discovered ...

Smoking marijuana a couple of hours before you drive almost doubles your chances of having a serious car crash, say Canadian researchers. The study led by Associate Professor Mark Asbridge from Dalhousie University in Halifax, is the first to review of data from drivers who had been treated for serious injuries or died in car accidents. The level of impairment from smoking pot might not be as severe as alcohol intoxication, but it does require a public health response, a researcher says. "To our knowledge this meta-analysis is the first to examine the association between acute cannabis use and the risk of motor vehicle collisions in real life," the researchers write in the ...

Story at-a-glance A new research review that collectively examined data from more than 100 countries concluded exposure to sunlight, which stimulates the production of vitamin D, is protective against cancer The data showed very strong evidence that higher solar UVB exposure decreases the risk of 15 different types of cancer, and weaker evidence also pointed to protection against an additional nine types of cancer Unless you get a deep dark tan, which is a pretty good gauge that your vitamin D levels are where they need to be, it is wise to get your blood levels checked; this is the only way to know for certain you have reached therapeutic levels By Dr. Mercola In 2011, it was estimated ...

A 32-year-old model who held the record for the world's largest implants has walked away from a car crash after her breasts acted as an air bag. Sheyla Hershey, who has 38KKK breasts, was driving home near Houston, Texas, after a Super Bowl party on Sunday when she crashed into a tree. The mother was charged with drink-driving after the incident and allegedly was not wearing a seatbelt when she lost control of her Ford Mustang. Her car spun around and hit a tree during the crash but she denied the drink-driving charge in court on Monday, reported the Daily Mirror. Despite the crash Hershey, who once had 38MMM breasts, avoided injury because her huge bust protected the rest of her body ...

Men Behaving Nicely: Selfless Acts by Men Increase When Attractive Women Are Nearby
Post Date: 2012-02-08 01:39:40 by Tatarewicz
1 Comments
ScienceDaily (Feb. 2, 2012) — Men put on their best behaviour when attractive ladies are close by. When the scenario is reversed however, the behaviour of women remains the same. These findings were published February 2, 2012, in the British Psychological Society's British Journal of Psychology via the Wiley The research, which also found that the number of kind and selfless acts by men corresponded to the attractiveness of ladies, was undertaken by Dr Wendy Iredale of Sheffield Hallam University and Mark Van Vugt of the VU University in Amsterdam and the University of Oxford. Two experiments were undertaken. For the first, 65 men and 65 women, all of an average age of 21, ...

When did the middle finger become offensive?

An American television network has apologised after British pop star M.I.A. extended her middle finger during Sunday night's Super Bowl halftime show. What does the gesture mean, and when did it become offensive? A public intellectual, expressing his contempt for a gas-bag politician, reaches for a familiar gesture. He extends his middle finger and declares: "This is the great demagogue". The episode occurred not on a chat show nor in the salons of New York or London, but in Fourth Century BC Athens, when the philosopher Diogenes told a group of visitors exactly what he thought about the orator Demosthenes, according to a later Greek historian. The middle finger, extended ...

Thinking of all the millions and millions of people who have lived and died in the history of the world is mind-boggling innate of itself. But one famous estimate says that the people alive today outnumber all of those who have come before. The factoid, popularised in the 1970s, has again become a much-buzzed about rumour, since the United Nations recently estimated the world population swelled to seven billion. Scroll down for video It's a large world after all: There are some seven billion people alive on Earth in 2012 The population has grown a staggering amount in recorded history, due in part to technological and health advancements.

New study says spanking leads to problems

The spanking debate just got ratcheted up another notch. New Canadian research suggests that spanking may end up causing, rather than preventing, antisocial behaviours. The report, published Monday in the Canadian Medical Association Journal, contradicts British politicians’ recent arguments that anti-smacking laws contribute to lax parenting – and social chaos such as last summer’s London riots. Canadian researchers analyzed two decades of studies on the long-term effects of physical punishment in children. They found no upside to spanking. Instead, they concluded that physical punishment puts children at risk for depression, anxiety, substance abuse and aggressive ...

Just now I wanted to check something about computer temps, a farenheit to celsius/celsius to farenheit conversion table. I entered my search terms in scroogle and got this: Forbidden so sorry... Google is temporarily blocking this Scroogle server. Please wait ten minutes before trying again. Yes, Scroogle is upset with Google. 1. Google handles 1 billion searches per day, while Scroogle handles 350,000 searches per day. This means that Scroogle is 0.035 percent of Google's load. 2. Google uses 900,000 servers, while Scroogle leases just six low-end dedicated servers. 3.

Top Department of Justice Officials Connected To Big Mortgage Banks

I’m sure it won’t surprise you to see that there are so many orgies going on between the government and the banks, it’s reasonable to suggest that there is no difference between the two. From the page: Senior government officials often move to big Washington law firms, and lawyers from those firms often move into government posts. But records show that in recent years the traffic between the Justice Department and Covington & Burling has been particularly heavy. In 2010, Holder’s deputy chief of staff, John Garland, returned to Covington, as did Steven Fagell, who was Breuer’s deputy chief of staff in the criminal division. The firm has on its web site a page ...

A 53-year-old former teacher was less than thrilled to receive an email from Pôle Emploi, the French government-run jobs agency, proposing a position stripping in a local nightclub. The job announcement said: "Nightclub searches stripper, €12 an hour" ($15). Danièle Casadamont, who received the email at her home in Poussan, south-west France, was not happy with the proposition. "If Pôle Emploi is suggesting we go naked for money, where's it going to end?" she told radio station RTL on Tuesday. Pôle Emploi refused to apologise for the job proposal. "There's no problem," said Pascal Blain to regional newspaper Midi ...

LE ROY, New York (Reuters) - State health officials have added three more names to a growing list of students in this working-class town who are experiencing mysterious tics and twitching, while authorities on Saturday sought to assure parents the community's high school is safe. Although the symptoms are typically associated with Tourette Syndrome, that has been ruled out in all but one case, causing fear and confusion among many residents of Le Roy, N.Y., about 50 miles east of Buffalo. "The building is safe for the community," District Superintendent Kim Cox told several hundred residents gathered in the auditorium of Le Roy Junior-Senior High School on Saturday. The ...
Monday’s medical myth: tongues register different tastes in different locations
Post Date: 2012-02-04 04:44:13 by Tatarewicz

Children have more taste buds in the tip of the tongue than adults and so are more sensitive to sweetness than adults on the tip. The myth that the four common tastes of sweet, sour, salty and bitter are located at different regions of the tongue has existed for more than a century. It arose from studies in the late 19th and early 20th century that indicated sensitivity for bitter was best at the back of the tongue. Sweet was best tasted on the sides near the front, salty was most sensitive at the front and sour could be tasted most on the sides near the back of the tongue. The myth began because the original data was misinterpreted. In fact, the early studies showed each of the four ...

A Mexican, a Jew, and a Redneck Girl are in the same bar. When the Mexican finishes his beer, he throws his glass in the air, pulls out his pistol, and shoots the glass to pieces. He says, 'In Mexico, our glasses are so cheap we don't need to drink with the same one twice.' The Jew, obviously impressed by this, drinks his beer, throws it into the air, pulls out his UZI, and shoots the glass to pieces. He says, 'In the Israel, we have so much sand to make glasses that we don't need to drink with the same one twice either.' The redneck girl, cool as a cucumber, picks up her beer, downs it in one gulp, throws the glass into the air, whips out her 45, and shoots the ...
