This made me laugh out loud. What women say they want, versus what they really want.

This is being passed around among Facebook users like a pipe at a college party: This reminds me of how much I hate the word ‘deserve’. In fact, it is the word to which my life philosophy (one I share with very many people) is most strongly opposed. I’m more of a “you get what you put in” kind of guy. In the realm of sexual relationships, that would be called Spengler’s Universal Law of Gender Parity. If we all ‘deserve’ the ideal then if the supply of the ideal is not plentiful enough to meet the demand, some demanders of the ideal e.g. women, will be left with a less-than-optimal outcome. And if they are told that they ...
German Farmers Seek their Fortunes in Russia Part II

Part 2: Solving Problems Outside the Legal System Nevertheless, there is still the question of what drives a German farmer to faraway Russia. The answer is simple, and has to do with the numbers. The larger a farm is today, the more effectively it can be cultivated. Thanks to GPS and satellites, farming has become largely automated. In addition, diesel fuel is significantly cheaper in Russia than in Germany, and there is also no milk quota. The price per liter of milk is currently about 30 euro cents in Germany, while in Russia prices can be as high as 42 cents. There are also government subsidies to cover interest costs, minimum prices and import duties to stave off foreign competition. ...
German Farmers Seek their Fortunes in Russia

In the 18th century, Catherine the Great invited German farmers to come to Russia and cultivate the land. Over two centuries later, the country is recruiting Teutonic pioneers once again in a bid to put vast tracts of fallow land to use. The land holds great opportunities for agricultural entrepreneurs -- provided they have strong nerves. Info The roads are a problem. The dark, frost-damaged asphalt is patched in many places. As the black Toyota Camry bumps along the road, Alexander, the driver, glances quickly into the rear-view mirror and steps on the gas, passing trucks that look like they haven't seen the inside of a repair shop in a long time. Sitting in the back seat, Stefan ...

Penis Tattoo Causes Permanent Erection For Iranian Man At least he can get it up. A man who got a tattoo on his penis is now left with a permanent semi-erection, according to an article in the latest issue of the Journal of Sexual Medicine. As MSNBC's The Body Odd reports, the 21-year-old Iranian man found himself between a rock and a hard place after he got a tattoo in Persian script reading "borow be salaamat" (good luck on your journeys), and the first initial of his girlfriend's last name ("M"). So what went wrong during the penis-pummeling procedure? The article in Sexual Medicine explains that a tattoo artist crafted the tattoo using a handheld needle ...

An Australian tourist who went bungee jumping in Africa suffered extensive bruising and a broken collarbone but is fortunate to be alive after the cord snapped during her 365-foot New Year's Eve plunge from a bridge above the Zambesi River. ABC News shared Erin Langworthy's harrowing tale Sunday, supported by video footage sure to make prospective bungee jumpers think twice about participating in this thrilling but dangerous sport. Bungee Cord Breaks Above the Zambezi River "It's definitely a miracle that I survived," she said. There appears to have been some tension in the cord before it broke; perhaps enough to slow the plunge and prevent more serious ...
Lawyer for Levi Aron launches 'inbreeding defense'

The lawyer for Levi Aron, the man accused of killing and dismembering 8-year-old Leiby Kletzky, hinged his insanity defense partially on in-breeding. Aron is accused of bringing Kletzky, who was lost on his way home from school, to his home and killing him, then cutting up his body. Attorney Howard Greenberg told reporters outside a Brooklyn Supreme Court court hearing yesterday that Aron's actions might have be a result of genetic defects caused by inbreeding in Brooklyn's Hasidic community. “Look, everybody knows when blood relations have offspring, there can be genetic defects,” Greenberg told reporters. Greenberg confirmed that he will still mount an insanity ...

Four out of ten police officers in North America suffer from some sort of sleep disorder. (The Epoch Times) Because of the combination of obesity and having an erratic schedule, many police officers suffer from sleep problems. This increases the odds of their having diabetes, depression, and occupational injuries. A new study has found that four out of ten North American police officers surveyed have some sort of sleep disorder. The researchers say the result can be impaired job performance, as well as a variety of health problems. Charles Czeisler, a leading sleep researcher at Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, screened police officers in the United ...

Mrs. Liu fled from China to escape a forced abortion. She gave birth to her baby in Los Angeles on Dec. 2, 2011. (Jenny Liu/The Epoch Times) LOS ANGELES--Three Chinese parents share their ordeals of fleeing from China to escape forced abortion and other reprisals because of an “illegal, out-of-plan” second pregnancy. China has in place a 30-year one-child family regulation. All “out-of-plan” pregnancies--a second pregnancy, a pregnancy by a single woman, or by an under-aged couple, for example--are aborted, by force, if a woman does not voluntarily submit to it, unless she can pay a hefty fee. According to Zhai Zhenwu, director of Renmin University’s School of ...

Pat Buchanan May Be Done At MSNBC: Phil Griffin

The president of MSNBC criticized Pat Buchanan — the network's controversial pundit who has been missing from the air for months — during interviews on Saturday and said it is not certain that Buchanan will remain a paid contributor to the network. Buchanan has been absent from MSNBC since late October, just after his latest book was released. The book, "Suicide of a Superpower," contained typically incendiary musings on race and immigration, and Buchanan even appeared on an openly "pro-white" radio show to promote it It's not altogether certain what made "Suicide" so different from Buchanan's other work. After all, he has been a ...
Predators behind Norway's mass herring deaths: experts
Post Date: 2012-01-08 08:02:20 by Tatarewicz

Biologists believe that thousands of herring found dead on a beach in northern Norway last week may have been chased there by killer whales or other predators. Residents of Kvennes in Troms County, northern Norway, have flocked to the local beach since the mysterious discovery there on December 28th of an estimated 20 tonnes of silver-tinged herring. Although no one is certain how the herring perished, Ole Kristian Berg, professor of fish ecology at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, said the huge school of fish was likely hunted ashore by larger species. “I give a high vote for predators,” Berg told The Local. He said the herring, well fed on plankton, tend ...

A new study claims that dogs are able to read our facial expressions and anticipate our desires — just like human babies do Crazed doggy parents will eagerly tell you that their dogs are able to understand and communicate, and are surely capable of basic levels of human cognition. Turns out these dog parents may not be so crazy after all. A new study has found that dogs are able to make eye contact and take cues from humans in a manner similar to a 6-month-old infant. Here, a brief guide: What did the study find? Dogs, like human babies, read our facial expressions. They don't just rely on verbal cues to ascertain what humans want. They also use eye contact to anticipate our ...

I just found out that my dad did something dumb. He drove recklessly, and fortunately didn't hurt anyone. This could have ended very badly. Any ideas on how to deal with that? Car sabotage? That's the only thing I can think of. He's probably way too stubborn to give up his license, so maybe it will take some tickets to convince him. I don't know. All I know is I don't want anyone dying due to his actions.
Missing Dallas teen accidentally deported to Colombia

A Dallas teen missing for more than a year has been found living in Colombia. Lorene Turner tells WFAA that her granddaughter Jakadrien Turner ran away from home in the fall of 2010 when she was just 14. Jakadrien made her way to Houston, where she was arrested by police. That's when things took a turn toward the Kafka-esque. Jakadrien gave the police a false name and her new alias just happened to match up with the name of a 22-year-old Colombian citizen who had been in the United States illegally. And to compound Turner's plight further, the Colombian national had a warrant out for her arrest. The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) then deported Jakadrien in April 20 ...

A Chicago police officer allegedly turned a $132 speeding ticket into a pick-up opportunity when he later tracked down the female driver and asked her out, saying the least he could do for the money he cost her was to treat her to dinner, according to a lawsuit the woman filed in federal court. Evagelina Paredes filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Chicago, accusing police officer Chris Collins of violating her privacy, according to the Associated Press. She alleges that after she was ticketed on Oct. 22, Collins searched for her address in the motor-vehicle database and left a handwritten note on the windshield of her car, which was parked outside her apartment in the Chicago suburb ...
