Hulk Hogan Cries, Begs For Forgiveness, and Considers Suicide An old recording surfaced last month that proved Hulk Hogan once said the dreaded “n-word,” which is the workplace equivalent of a capital offense for which there is no statute of limitations. Just ask Paula Deen. Naturally, Hogan was immediately banned from wrestling and kicked out of the WWE Hall of Fame. As far as the official record was concerned, the most iconic professional wrestler in history had never fought a single match. I took note that Hogan didn’t immediately grovel and apologize for using the same word that pretty much every black NBA and NFL player say on a regular basis. As it turns out, he ...

Carly Fiorina Won’t Let Liberal Governor Blame Global Warming for The Drought! Carly Fiorina showed once again why she does so well with conservatives whenever she gets any of the spotlight afforded to other candidates. In this interview on “Meet the Press,” she lays out why Democrats and liberal policies are a big part of the reason that California is experiencing such a terrible drought. Watch below: Even climatologists say that the drought has little to do with Global Warming, but the hoaxers keep trying to blame it on the liberal narrative because they don’t want to admit that left-wing environmental policies have crippled California’s ability to retain ...

Citing “Security Concern,” Airport Officials Seize Child’s “Fart Gun” If you have young children, chances are you have seen the movie Despicable Me and are familiar with the “Fart Gun.” Recently, a mom flying from the UK to Dublin with her three-year-old child had a brush with airport security over her child’s toy Fart Gun. Apparently the plastic toy’s trigger is a “security concern.” The security officer – who even admitted his own child has a similar fart blaster at home – explained to the mother and her tot that the “trigger mechanism” was against policy and therefore would not be allowed on the airplane, ...

Local.it A 46-year-old woman has been arrested on suspicion of abduction after locking a 25-year-old man in the basement of her home near Naples because he denied her sex, Italian media reported. The pair reportedly met this summer and enjoyed a fling, Il Messaggero reported. But the man soon grew weary of the amorous adventure, and refused to have any more intercourse with the woman, who is separated from her husband. Unhappy with the rejection, she then allegedly locked him in the basement of her home in Arzano, a town north of Naples. It is unclear from the reports just how long the man was kept in the room, but he somehow managed to alert a passerby to his presence. “The ...
Case Closed: FBI Says 9mm Is The Best Pistol Round
Post Date: 2015-08-30 12:46:31 by X-15

A new study from the FBI’s Training Division shows that overall, the 9mm Luger pistol round is the best option for law enforcement handguns, recommending departments shouldn’t switch their side arms to larger rounds considered by many to be more lethal. Based in a combination of factors, including so-called “stopping power,” weight and availability, the FBI study shows that the 9mm round penetrates far enough, allows for shooters to carry more rounds, and is more widely available and less expensive than alternative rounds like the .45 ACP or .40 Smith & Wesson. “Most of what is ‘common knowledge’ with ammunition and its effects on the human target ...

(Great video at story link!!) Joshua James slipped into a jumpsuit made of thick, heavy cloth and pulled on a beekeeper’s hat, net and full-length gloves. The pest control specialist, who began his career after leaving the U.S. Army in 2012, was ready to go to battle with a hive that held thousands of yellow jackets. The hive was nestled behind a row of azalea hedges and invisible at first glance. But I knew they were there, because just days earlier, while doing yard work on Sunday, I’d awakened the colony, angering a swarm of yellow jackets that stung me between 20 and 30 times. The attack resulted in a trip to the emergency room and an IV push of several medications to ...

The Chinese Air Force is training macaques to protect its jets from the treat of flying birds by dismantling their nests in trees. Two of the macaques, called Qitian and Ziyun, can destroy a nest in just one minute, military officials said. Birds have the potential to cause huge damage to aircrafts worldwide, getting stuck in engines and damaging jets. The programme to use macaques was first announced last year, with soldiers involved in the training to get them to run up trees and rip down the birds' nests. Experts also said their odour repels birds from rebuilding their nests in the same spots. Poster Comment:More considerate alternative would be o provide bird houses and food away ...

With the start of the new school year, 25,000 incoming medical students in the United States—and hundreds of thousands of students around the world—are wondering how best to study so they can succeed in classes, on board exams, and in the clinic. Fortunately, decades worth of neuroscience research has given us an entire toolkit of techniques, many of which you probably have not heard of before. Both of us have devoted much of our careers before and during medical school to assimilating and testing these cognitive techniques; the result of these efforts is our learning platform, Osmosis. Here we will highlight five of the most effective, neuroscience-backed study techniques that ...

Want... A Chinese fisherman has found a remotely operated underwater vehicle or ROV in waters claimed by China in the South China Sea, reports Shanghai-based news outlet the Paper. Huang Yunlai found an ROV while fishing in an area of the contested South China Sea that was not specified in the report. He initially believed he had caught a big fish but soon realized this was not the case after hauling it up. The ROV Huang caught was disguised as an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV), a robot which travels underwater without input from an operator, according to government officials, who identified the object as a spy ROV. After Ministry of State Security authorities retrieved the ROV, ...

Local.ch ...A cheeky seagull in northern Spain stole a tourist's camera and flew off with it providing astonishing footage from the air as well as some rather amusing close-ups of the bird itself. Some Swiss tourists got more than they bargained for when they were filming along the coast of the Cíes islands, off Galicia in northern Spain earlier this month. The holidaymakers were filming a seagull on a clifftop wall when suddenly the feathered fiend snatched their GoPro video camera and took flight, to the horror of the pair, who can be heard shouting in Swiss German. The video of the incident, uploaded to YouTube by Martin Lozano from Switzerland, shows the bird tentatively ...

Out of Place Artifact: The Mysterious Stone Egg of Lake Winnipesaukee

In 1872, construction workers digging a hole for a fence post near the shores of Lake Winnipesaukee in New England found a lump of clay, with an egg shaped artifact inside it, six feet below the ground. Called the ‘Mystery Stone’, it is one of New Hampshire's more curious and lesser known relics. Amateur and professional archaeologists have speculated about the origin of this strange artifact for well over one hundred years with no clear answers emerging. The rock type is not familiar to New Hampshire and there are no other known objects bearing similar markings or design in the United States. It may very have been the work of someone living in a faraway place and time, as ...

Better-tasting grocery store tomatoes coming soon, scientists say
Post Date: 2015-08-20 05:13:59 by Tatarewicz

BOSTON, Aug. 19 (UPI) -- After decades of complaints, scientists have finally decided to solve the problem of the watery, flavorless mass-market tomatoes found in grocery stores. As most cooks know, the only way to procure a consistently tasty tomato is to pick it from a backyard garden or buy it from a farm stand. But consumers want tomatoes 365 days a year, which means the ruby red fruit must be stored for several days and sometimes shipped thousands of miles across the country. To get tomatoes on the shelves of stores in Northern Michigan in the middle of February, growers in California, Florida, Mexico and elsewhere pick the fruit before its ripe and then blast it with ethylene to ...
