Yeah, I don't know why people buy that. If I'm thirsty, I have a perfectly serviceable tap to get water from.

I do actually remember hearing once that while it's not commonly known, licking or straight up eating chunks of real old poo poo is a thing archaeologists do not as infrequently as you'd think.
Not 100% on that tho. May have just been a couple weirdos.

It's how you tell apart bones and rocks - bone fossil will stick to your tongue slighty, non-sedimentary rocks won't.

It's probably not encouraged though.

And when I tried to explain this to museum security they still invited me to leave. If they didn't want the patrons to lick the exhibits then they shouldn't have made them out of fossils. :colbert:

Reed previously reviewed Cabin in the Woods, where he apparently didn’t actually watch the movie and lost his mind partway through.

http://observer.com/2012/04/cabin-in-the-woods-rex-reed-richard-jenkins-bradley-whitford/

quote:

It’s all part of an elaborate video game that allows paying customers to watch real people slaughtered according to the horror of choice. The five kids in the cabin are innocent pawns to test the mechanics of the game, the way fiends in a horror movie test the sounds of screaming babies as they feed them to the jaws of mutated crocodiles.

Man claims father-in-law used toupee to scare him

NEW YORK (AP) — A New York City man who says he has a fear of the Tasmanian Devil claims his father-in-law repeatedly scared him with a toupee that looks like the cartoon character.

The New York Post reports Yunes Doleh was arrested in November for violating a restraining order filed by his son-in-law, Mazen Dayem. The 36-year-old says Doleh terrorized him at a funeral by waving the hair piece and snarling.

The Staten Island man says he’s had a fear of the Tasmanian Devil his entire life. Dayem claims his father-in-law has taken advantage of his phobia since 2013. Dayem filed a restraining order in September following an altercation with Doleh at a restaurant.

An attorney for Doleh labeled the case a “family dispute.”

Doleh faces charges of criminal contempt and aggravated harassment.

Long Island Iced Tea Corp’s Shares Skyrocket After Renaming Itself ‘Long Blockchain Corp’

Beverage maker Long Island Iced Tea Corp’s <LTEA.O> shares jumped 300 percent after the company said it would rebrand itself Long Blockchain Corp [and] was shifting its primary business strategy to blockchain technology and was in the preliminary stages of evaluating specific opportunities to grow that business.

The company said it would still continue to operate its beverage business, under which it sells Long Island iced tea and Long Island lemonade.

Forbes is somewhat amusing because they have two movie guys: one of them really liked Last Jedi and everything he posts about its performance is incredibly optimistic; the other really disliked Last Jedi and everything he posts about its performance is incredibly pessimistic.

My stepfather asked me about Bitcoins the other week. Some investor guy was talking about them on the radio.


Later, I was a family lunch for one side of the family, I walk in and 2 people are discussing Bitcoin. I decided not to say anything.
I def didnt say anything about how the price is only propped up that high because the Chinese and the Russian mafia make alot of use from Bitcoins.
I most certinaly did not say anything about how the major uses of Bitcoin is buying weapons, drugs and sex slaves

That would require it to be a functional currency. It isn’t any more, if it ever was. It’s a pure investment scam propped up by naked fraud.

Bluetooth-controlled sex toys actually have terrible security and would be really easy for a dedicated hacker to break into and turn it on overdrive mid-coitus.

:prepop: Doesn't look like they'd even need to be that dedicated, based on what I'm reading. Like, some simple scripting, at most.

It's basically a kind of exhibitionism and that's fine, but adding some actual security measures would be good so someone doesn't go around raping people with an old android phone.
