OMG, The RIAA has pirated over $9 million worth of TV Shows

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 13:50:00 +0000

Shuffle OMG | The RIAA has pirated over $9 million!

RIAA stands for Recording Industry Association of America. They are a conglomerate formed of all the big recording lables in the United States (like United Music Group, which we talked about here)

They're one of the organizations behind the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) which is making its way through congress. As we've mentioned, the bill will impose really restricting rules on the internet and will allow them to majorly change the internet. SOPA is opposed by pretty much all major tech companies.

So it's just a little bit hypocritical that the RIAA has been found pirating over 60 episodes of the TV show Dexter! This was discovered thanks to the website youhavedownloaded.com which tells you every publicly available torrent that your IP has downloaded.

If we apply the same math that they have applied when prosecuting downloaders, then every episode they pirated is worth $150,000 which means that they have pirated over $9 million worth of Dexter.

OMG, A Male Honebee's penis gets destroyed after sex!

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 17 Dec 2011 07:10:00 +0000

Honey Bees are a pretty suicidal species. When you get stung by one, its stinger is detached from the body, leaving with it the bee's vital organs. So it dies. This is a pretty well known fact.

A more unknown one is what happens to male worker bees when they impregnate a female queen. When a Queen Bee is ready to mate, it takes flight with about a dozen of male drones. Think of it like an insect version of The Bachelor. However, the reward for the eventual male winner is not a rose, but a mating session with the queen that results in his death!

In order to prevent the other 11 drones from impregnating the queen, the male's penis snaps off and remains attached to her, acting as a plug that prevents any more sexual contact. So it dies.

Yes, the eggs are made in urine, and they have been making it for thousands of years! The urine is gathered from
local schools and the very best comes from boys under 10 years old. “They pee in buckets and we collect it fresh every day," explained chef Lu Ming."

Ming says that the eggs are delicious and healthy and make you stay awake and sharp. Ming is looking forward to a project to export Urine eggs to other countries and make it 'A big thing'.

Amarjeet Sada has been accused of murdering three children including his baby sister and cousin. Sada was amazingly caught while he was trying to commit another similar kill!

Police in Bihar, India have stated that the boy took his victims to an open field and beat them with a stone. Sada attempted to hide the bodies but was not successful.

Law enforcements are trying to figure out his motives and why such a young boy would commit such a slaughter.

OMG, Hemingway's shortest story was only six words long!

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 16:26:00 +0000

The story was a work of what's now called "Flash fiction," because it tries to convey a full story in as few words as possible. Hemingway's story is this: "For sale: baby shoes, never worn."

The 6 word story is an extreme example of Flash Fiction. There is an award called the Micro Award that recognizes the best stories that are less than 1,000 words long. It's called the "Micro Award."

OMG, Disney employees used to share underwear!

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 12 Nov 2011 17:18:00 +0000

Disney has really strict dress codes for their employees. This is because they don't want to ruin the illusion of the characters being real. One of the particular quirks of this dress code is that employees were not allowed to use their own underwear while in character! This is because normal underwear tends to bunch up and bulk under the costume.

To prevent this, Disney would have a communal pool of underwear that employees had to turn in every day to be washed along with their costume! The policy was in place until 2001. We haven't been able to find what the current policy is; if you know it tell us in the comments.

OMG, The world's largest breast implants are size 38KKK.

noreply@blogger.com (Shuffle OMG) — Sun, 09 Oct 2011 09:43:00 +0000

Sheyla Hershey is a 28-year-old Brazilian model who lives in Houston. Sheyla has had over 18 separate plastic surgeries, but her major claim to fame took place last year when she upgraded her cup size to KKK! (a rather unfortunate size name).

Before the procedure, Hershey's breasts were only 34FFF (that's a full gallon of silicone!) last May, so she decided to go under the knife once more because, well...that's what she does. Unfortunately for her, Texas law limits the amount of silicone a person can put in their body (too much of it CAN kill you), so what did Sheyla do? Why, she returned home to Brazil to have the surgery done there, of course!

As it turns out, the Texas law was enacted for a reason. After ballooning her bosom, Sheyla suffered severe staph and strep infections for months. This led to the removal of all FOUR of her implants, and nearly led to a mastectomy!

Sheyla is not phased, however - she plans to allow her body to heal for about three months, and then she expects to risk her life once more by having the KKK implants replaced. Her reasoning? "You have to stay two years to keep a world record. I only stayed three months because of my infection."

You can also check out her website for updates on her career and surgeries.

Denmark has instituted a 'fat tax' on unhealthy foods in an effort to curb obesity!

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 07 Oct 2011 13:28:00 +0000

In an unprecedented move, the Danish government has implemented a surcharge of 16 kroner per kilogram (approximately $1.29/lb) of saturated fat in a product. Foods such as butter, milk, cheese, pizza, meat, oil, and processed food will all be subject to the charge. The goal is to dissuade citizens from consuming unhealthy foods, but the tax has already had the side effect of causing people to stock up on these goods prior to its implemention! Many scientists also question whether a salt or sugar tax would be a more effective measure. If successful, the fat tax is expected to raise the average life expectancy of Danes by a total of three years over the next decade.

In an unfathomable loss for the world, Steve Jobs, founder of Apple, Inc. and Pixar Animation Studios, passed away earlier this evening at the age of 56.

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 06 Oct 2011 12:01:00 +0000

Summary: Tim Cook sent the following email to Apple employees today: Steve passed away earlier today. Apple has lost a visionary and creative genius, and the world has lost an amazing human being.

Steve Jobs’ family today made the following statement regarding his death:

Steve died peacefully today surrounded by his family.In his public life, Steve was known as a visionary; in his private life, he cherished his family. We are thankful to the many people who have shared their wishes and prayers during the last year of Steve’s illness; a website will be provided for those who wish to offer tributes and memories.
We are grateful for the support and kindness of those who share our feelings for Steve. We know many of you will mourn with us, and we ask that you respect our privacy during our time of grief.

Apple CEO Tim Cook today sent the following email to all Apple employees:

Team,
I have some very sad news to share with all of you. Steve passed away earlier today.
Apple has lost a visionary and creative genius, and the world has lost an amazing
human being. Those of us who have been fortunate enough to know and work with Steve have lost a dear friend and an inspiring mentor. Steve leaves behind a company that only he could have built, and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple.
We are planning a celebration of Steve’s extraordinary life for Apple employees that will take place soon. If you would like to share your thoughts, memories and condolences in the interim, you can simply email rememberingsteve@apple.com.
No words can adequately express our sadness at Steve’s death or our gratitude for the opportunity to work with him. We will honor his memory by dedicating ourselves to continuing the work he loved so much.

Statement by Apple’s Board of Directors:

We are deeply saddened to announce that Steve Jobs passed away today.
Steve’s brilliance, passion and energy were the source of countless innovations that
enrich and improve all of our lives. The world is immeasurably better because of Steve.
His greatest love was for his wife, Laurene, and his family. Our hearts go out to them and to all who were touched by his extraordinary gifts.

President Obama:

Michelle and I are saddened to learn of the passing of Steve Jobs. Steve was among the greatest of American innovators - brave enough to think differently, bold enough to believe he could change the world, and talented enough to do it.
By building one of the planet’s most successful companies from his garage, he exemplified the spirit of American ingenuity. By making computers personal and putting the internet in our pockets, he made the information revolution not only accessible, but intuitive and fun. And by turning his talents to storytelling, he has brought joy to millions of children and grownups alike. Steve was fond of saying that he lived every day like it was his last. Because he did, he transformed our lives, redefined entire industries, and achieved one of the rarest feats in human history: he changed the way each of us sees the world.
The world has lost a visionary. And there may be no greater tribute to Steve’s success than the fact that much of the world learned of his passing on a device he invented. Michelle and I send our thoughts and prayers to Steve’s wife Laurene, his family, and all those who loved him.

Larry Page:

I am very, very sad to hear the news about Steve. He was a great man with incredible achievements and amazing brilliance. He always seemed to be able to say in very few words what you actually should have been thinking before you thought it. His focus on the user experience above all else has always been an inspiration to me. He was very kind to reach out to me as I became CEO of Google and spend time offering his advice and knowledge even though he was not at all well. My thoughts and Google’s are with his family and the whole Apple family.

OMG, The man who discovered the 3D visual effect couldn't even see it because he was blind in one eye.

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 18 Sep 2011 17:43:00 +0000

Dr. Carl Pulfrich was an early pioneer in the design of sterescopes, images that appear to be three-dimensional that are composed of two separate two-dimensional images. (like a View-Master toy). He’s well-known for observing and documenting what is now known as the “Pulfrich effect”.

The Pulfrich effect is the illusion of depth created by our brains when viewing an object with a dark filter applied to one eye. This effect is the basis behind the 3-D movies that we can see today in theaters.

In Pulfrich’s own words: “I have never been able to observe these effects myself, for I have been blind in the left eye for 16 years.”

Snapple Apple does not contain apple juice among its ingredients!

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 01 Sep 2011 17:12:00 +0000

So what is Snapple Apple’s main fruit then? Drumroll......it’s PEARS! Apparently authentic apple juice does not taste ‘appley’ enough to consumers, so the liquid from its pyriform cousin is used instead. But why can it be marketed as APPLE juice if it’s primarily composed of PEAR juice?? Because it’s not marketed that way. Notice the word “drink” next to juice...calling the beverage a “juice drink” means that it is not required to contain the listed and pictured fruit as its primary component.

In fact, a juice drink only needs to include as little as 5% actual juice to earn that title! Despite containing the depicted fruit, the qualifications for “fruit juice” aren’t much stricter...it only has to contain 10 percent of the real deal.

Abercrombie & Fitch has offered to pay the cast members of Jersey Shore never to wear its clothes on air!

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 22 Aug 2011 10:44:00 +0000

You’ve all heard of product placement being used as a method for advertising in movies and TV shows, but Abercrombie’s recent attempt at “product displacement” could gain them just as much exposure. In a brilliant move, the designer clothing giant recently asked the show’s trashy cast to stop wearing their clothing. As it turns out, it’s a win-win situation for both A&F and “The Situation” - it draws attention to both the reality show AND the fact that many cast members routinely wear clothing from Abercrombie & Fitch. The clothing store is clearly just doing this as a publicity stunt, because if they seriously wanted to STOP the cast from wearing their product on television, they could simply take them to court for airing their intellectual property without permission.

The 10th president of the United States has two grandchildren that are still alive!

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 22 Aug 2011 10:39:00 +0000

John Tyler was the 10th president of the United States and is well-known as the first vice president to finish a deceased president’s term. He served as vice president for the 32 days of William Henry Harrison’s presidency before the president fell ill and died.

John Tyler had 15 children, and many grandchildren. Two of his grandsons are still alive today. Lyon Gardiner Tyler, Jr. is 86 years old. His brother, Harrison Tyler, is 83. They were both born well over 60 years after their famous grandfather had died. Their father, Lyon Tyler Sr., passed away in 1935, when the two Tyler brothers were still children. Lyon Jr. and Harrison both went to college at William and Mary. Lyon was a WWII Navy veteran and is now a retired history professor. Harrison is a retired chemical engineer. He now takes care of Sherwood Forest, the plantation where President Tyler lived.

Here's a profile on Harrison Tyler in the Virginia Tech magazine. There's also a profile on Lyon Tyler Jr. on the website for his local branch of the Lion's Club here

THERE’S A PUPPY THAT GLOWS IN THE DARK.

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 18 Aug 2011 15:52:00 +0000

Ruppy (a portmanteau of ruby and puppy) is a beagle with genes from a sea anemone. A team of stem cell researchers in Korea cloned the cells that carry the anemone’s red fluorescent genes. The researchers created a special glowing dog stem cell nucleus, and used it to replace the nucleus of a mother dog’s egg cell. They created over 300 embryos like this, implanted them in 20 different dogs, and though the cloning process has a high failure rate, they were able to produce 5 glowing puppies, including Ruppy. These dogs should be able to grow up and naturally give birth to new glowing puppies.

The longest field goal in NFL history was kicked by a man who had only half a foot!

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 17 Aug 2011 16:36:00 +0000

On November 8, 1970, an unlikely hero booted an unlikely field goal to propel his team to an unlikely victory. That man’s name was Tom Dempsey, a 22-year-old kicker for the New Orleans Saints who was born without four fingers on his right hand and half of his right foot. The stage was set for Dempsey’s dramatic kick shortly after his counterpart for the opposing Detroit Lions had made an 18-yarder to give his team a 17-16 lead with 11 seconds left in the game. The ensuing kickoff return and a short reception by Al Dodd left New Orleans with little hope of victory. Now with only 2 seconds remaining, Tom found himself trotting out to the Saints’ 37 yardline to attempt what was thought to be impossible - a 63-yard field goal.

Somehow on this day “Stumpy”, as his coach affectionately called him, managed to launch the pigskin farther with half a foot than any full-footed kicker ever had! Fortunately for Dempsey, this kick was 10 yards shorter than it would be by modern standards. Sometime in the 41 years that have followed Tom Dempsey’s historic boot, the uprights were moved from the front of the end zone to the back, lengthening a kick from the opposing 37 by 10 yards! By no means does this take away from Dempsey’s accomplishment - we just thought we should clarify the distance for anyone thinking of attempting a 73-yarder by mistake.

Dempsey’s feat was matched in 1998 by Jason Elam of the Denver Broncos. Keep in mind, however, that Elam’s kick was aided by the thin air of Mile-High Stadium...and his fully-formed foot. Apologies to all you Broncos fans out there, but we’re still gonna embed Dempsey’s kick:

The first women to ever get a 10th degree black belt in Judo was 98 years old.

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 15 Aug 2011 10:52:00 +0000

98 Year Old Woman.

Sensei Keiko Fukuda has achieved the highest rank in Judo at the age of 98. She began practicing Judo in 1935. She decided to forgo getting married and starting a family. Instead she focused on Judo. The reason it took her so long (76 years!) to reach the highest rank was there was an edict that prevented women from rising passed the level of 5th degree black belt. When the ban was lifted, she was finally able to rise through the ranks and reach the top in 2011.

OMG, Ringing in your ears is caused by your brain attempting to repair itself and failing.

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 19 Jan 2011 14:15:00 +0000

Researchers claim that ringing in your ears, also called tinnitus, is caused by the lack of sound due to gradual hearing loss. This hearing loss can be caused by various factors, among them normal aging, loud-noise exposure, or an accident. The brain therefore is inclined to produce its own sounds to replace the frequencies that are missing in what the ear hears.

Tinnitus is the result when the brain’s limbic system (the part of the brain that deals with basic instincts and emotions) fails to keep this sounds from being processed by the auditory system! Around 40 million Americans currently suffer from this chronic annoyance, for which there is no known cure.

OMG, A South American artist creates underwater artwork.

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 19 Jan 2011 14:13:00 +0000

During his childhood, much of which was spent in Malaysia’s coral reefs, artist Jason deCaires Taylor developed a profound fascination with the sea and the rest of the natural world. As an adult, Taylor has now chosen to incorporate this love of nature into his artwork. Jason carves cement sculptures that also function as artificial coral reefs deep below the ocean.

The surrounding natural beauty serves to enhance the artistic quality of his work and allows for a unique viewing experience that requires the use of scuba gear. Jason’s work facilitates positive interactions between humans and fragile underwater ecosystems and helps to further people’s awareness and appreciation for the splendor of the ocean floor.

Check out Taylor's website to take a look at his underwater art gallery!

Chen has been in several relationships and does not consider this marriage to be binding, meaning that she will still be free to marry whomever she chooses once she feels the time is right. (source)
