The Darwin Awards salute
the improvement of the human genome by
honoring those who, uh, remove
themselves from it...
Like two
men, 17 and 21, who imitated Darth
Vader, and made light sabres from
fluorescent light tubes. That's right,
they opened them up, poured gasoline
inside, and lit them. As one [...] read all
If Noah had to build the ark in 2006,
his story may have gone something like
this:
And the Lord spoke to
Noah and said, "In one year, I am going
to make it rain, and the rain shall not
stop until it submerges the entire earth
and all living flesh is destroyed.
Because of this, I want you to save the
righteous people and two of every living
species on earth. Therefore, I am
commanding you [...] read all
A specter is haunting the world - the
specter of leisure. All the great powers
have conspired against it: Popes and
presidents, bankers and unionists,
hamburger chains and environmentalists.
But, mighty as they are, they will soon
fail. Machines may exist solely to
produce, but humans are awakening from a
dark eon of drudgery to the dawning
realization that there is more to life
than work. [...] read all
This article claims (incorrectly, see
below, at the end of the article) to
provide instructions for cooking an egg
by placing it between two live mobile

It
takes approximately 2 minutes of
speaking on a cellular phone for the

Bill Gates, love him or hate him, he
sure hits the nail on the head with
this!
Bill Gates recently gave
a speech at a High School about 11
things they did not and will not learn
in school. He talks about how feel-good,
politically correct teachings created a
generation of kids with no concept of
reality and how this concept set them up
for failure in the real world.
Does it ever
upset you when a partner expresses anger
or hurt feelings? It's important to
realize that when someone expresses
their feelings, they are not necessarily
rational.
They do not
necessarily mean anything they say. They
are, in fact, letting emotional energy
release, like flying arrows. If you
stand in their way - by doing anything
other than just [...] read all
NORMANDY, FRANCE (June 6, 1944)
Three hundred French civilians were
killed and thousands more were wounded
today in the first hours of America's
invasion of continental Europe.
Casualties were heaviest among women and
children. Most of the French casualties
were the result of artillery fire from
American ships attempting to knock out
German fortifications prior to the
landing of hundreds of [...] read all
His name was Fleming, and he was a poor
Scottish farmer. One day, while trying
to make a living for his family, he
heard a cry for help coming from a
nearby bog. He dropped his tools and ran
to the bog. There, mired to his
waist in black muck, was a terrified
boy, screaming and struggling to free
himself. Farmer Fleming saved the lad
from what could have been a slow and
terrifying death. [...] read all
