I don't understand humanity, but looking back on high school English something that seemed totally moronic now makes perfect sense -- Sartre's 'No Exit' (Huis clos). People stuck in hell are suddenly given an escape route but manage not to take it! Hell for most people is having to work. Of course for millions, the next hell is not feeling needed anymore once they get their wish and retire. People find 1,001 ways around happiness!

Want... Jiangxi police have cracked an appalling human trafficking case in which a criminal gang bought mentally challenged women from their families, promising to marry them off to a better life but instead holding them in a pigsty in northern China, where they were sold for between 50,000-100,000 yuan (US$7,885-US$15,800) to older men. The case can be attributed to the mindsets of the womens' families. They were generally indifferent about the fate of their daughters and considered mentally disabled girls to be a burden, according to the state-run Xinhua news agency. Many of the women were also unable to protect themselves and were particularly vulnerable, the report added. Ten ...

The Best Way to Defeat Russian Airstrikes: Blow 'Em Up With... Condoms?

Sputnik... Left with little recourse in the face of relentless Russian airstrikes, the self-proclaimed Islamic State terrorist group has apparently resorted to a fairly unique defensive strategy. According a video that surfaced online on Wednesday, the group has begun launching homemade condom bombs, hoping they’ll somehow veer into a Russian bomber. While Sputnik cannot independently verify the authenticity of the video, it appears to show IS militants creating aerial mines out of condoms, which are then released into the skies over Idlib. The entire arts-and-crafts project is shown, scored to look like some kind of bizarre extremist music video. In a desperate move, the ...

Inexplicable Christopher Hiscock, 33, got only a year's probation after his guilty plea for trespassing on a ranch in Kamloops, British Columbia, in September -- because it was a trespass with panache. Since no one had been home, Hiscock fed the cats, prepared a meal, shaved and showered, took meat out of the freezer to thaw, made some coffee, started a fire in the fireplace, did some laundry, put out hay for the horses, and even wrote some touchingly personal notes in the resident's diary ("Today was my first full day at the ranch." "I have to remind myself to just relax and take my time.") In court, he apologized. "I made a lot of mistakes." ...

WCT... Since the establishment earlier this year of Woyoufan, an online platform that serves home-cooked meals, it has hosted 1,000 dinners for more than 8,000 customers, with a repurchase rate as high as 40%. "When people sit down to share gourmet food, there are no strangers," says the platform's founder Feng Zheng, 2 The hosts of the dinners do not cook for their families or friends but for strangers who have already paid for the food. When the diners — previously unknown to each other — arrive at the host's venue, the meal starts with a brief self-introduction from each diner before the party sits down to eat. The platform was inspired by Feng's ...

I wonder whether Americans realize just how closely the United States is coming to resemble a country of the Third World, not just in its corruption and attributes of a police state, but in the incompetence of governmental bureaucracies. Federal agencies don’t work. They are rotted by affirmative action. The bureaucrats are inattentive, unaccountable, anonymous, can’t be fired, and get paid whether they do their jobs or not. Congress is not interested. A few examples, from my experience or that of people I know, mostly involving veterans, but typical. Click for Full Text!

Oh, Man – Seth Rogen Publicly Curses Ben Carson for Leaving the “Liberal Thought Plantation” Most Americans understand that Hollywood actors are left of liberal and out-of-touch with mainstream America. Now comes the latest in a long line of Hollywood actors who seems to have forgotten the unpleasant backlash from conservative America when you show your liberal leanings. Actor Seth Rogen, one of the stars of the latest Steve Jobs biopic, issued a rude tweet directed at 2016 Presidential Candidate Ben Carson the other day, and the response was swift. According to Breitbart: Rogen did not elaborate on where this anger came from. Rogen, however, is a Leftist and the fact ...

James Bond Girls – Then And Now By Jason Owen | August 13, 2015 In Fall 2015, James Bond will once again grace the big screen in the 24th Bond film in the franchise, Spectre.

And many times, that role provides a huge break in the actress’ career that often leads to greater fame. Do you remember these famous Bond girls?

18 Celebrities You Didn’t Know Are Actually A Twin By Ryan Miller | September 10, 2015 CelebTwin Oftentimes, an actor or actress will play a particular character so well that our brains can’t help but have trouble differentiating between the human actor, and the fictional character they portrayed. Sure, at the end of the day, we remember that it’s just a story, but the “celebrity” halo still burns brightly. There’s a certain disconnect between the person behind the fame and their star persona we see plastered on glossy magazines and across the internet everyday. Thus, it’s hard to imagine these celebs as someone’s son or daughter, or ...
New study says we all hallucinate - but in different ways
Post Date: 2015-10-17 01:31:20 by Tatarewicz

ScienceAlert... Researchers in the UK have been investigating how hallucinations affect our minds, and what they've found will make for interesting reading if you're wondering if you can always trust your eyes and ears (in short: probably not). Perhaps the most significant conclusion from the report relates to how prior knowledge can influence our thoughts more than what our senses are telling us in real-time. These factors can quite literally cause us to lose touch with reality, and it seems that those who suffer most from hallucinations have a tendency to fall back on this prior knowledge and the predictions that come from it. To a certain extent, this behaviour is fine and ...

An obscure, 15-year-old study has been getting a lot of attention lately thanks to a sensational claim made by a couple of scientists that an unnamed species of bright orange mushroom found in Hawaii caused spontaneous organsms in a handful of women who smelt its odour. But before you get too excited, we’re sorry to tell you that there’s no actual proof that this mysterious mushroom does anything of the sort, because all we’re going off is a one-page observational study involving a very small sample size that’s not yet been reproduced, and which makes some pretty dubious assumptions about female biology. Let’s start from the beginning. In 2001, a pair of medical ...
