[Futomimi]

lol, unfortunately, no. That's kind of awesome.

[Olethros]

http://yaledailynews.com/storymin.html

I'm really not sure what to make of this. That someone like this is actually alive and functioning in society is mind blowing.

[Sayckeone]

lol The #### these morons call art these days...

[Futomimi]

She said she was not concerned about any medical effects the forced miscarriages may have had on her body. The abortifacient drugs she took were legal and herbal, she said, and she did not feel the need to consult a doctor about her repeated miscarriages.

..................

[Sei]

Holy ####..... that is..... well it's not something I thought anyone would do...

Wish I had thought of it first, watch her become rich off it, damn.

[Inzaghi]

Rich? Did you miss the part where she's an art student?

[Futomimi]

Yeah, and she's displaying it at a university. They don't pay #### for displays.

[Olethros]

Art (unless you're already dead) hardly ever pays well. But, even if it did, doing that to your own body is grounds for being institutionalized.

[Sei]

Eh, sort of joking.

That aside, I do believe that she will get more than a little name recognition from being on every form of media 24/7 when they hear of this, plus the protests of whoever objects to this display, will probably keep her name around for a years to come. If that doesn't make her head of some avant garde movement, I dont know what ever could. Well, other than talent and dedication and things like those, I suppose.

But shock works, as well.

[Voodoo]

You know you've ####ed up when the pro- lifers and pro-choicers agree something is messed up. Im an artist myself and while i understand her desires by doing this I find her methods disgusting.

I live a short ride outside of NYC. All my life I've been hearing about this asinine Yankees Vs Red Sox rivalry, and every year it gets more and more ridiculous. It's easy to say, "oh, this is just for fun," but you'd be wrong. The people who engage is this #### are dead ####ing serious. Red Sox fans fully believed they were cursing the new Yankee stadium; and this shirt was dug up with the full belief that a real curse was being stopped. These people actually believe this ####.

WOW!! And i thought Minnesota Twins fans were passionate about baseball.

[Sayckeone]

#### that art ####. My post is more important.

[Olethros]

Shut up Ray, I know for a fact that you probably watch a lot of porn with dudes in it. :P

For unknown reasons, the bear lunged at 39-year-old Stephan Miller, a trainer at Randy Miller's Predators in Action, about 3 p.m. and bit him in the neck, said sheriff's spokeswoman Cindy Beavers.




I know exactly why this happened.





BECAUSE IT'S A FREAKING GRIZZLY BEAR. (LOL@the name: Cindy Beavers....kinda goes along with the porn theme Sanct started!)

[Sayckeone]

So this guy in Austria locked his daughter up in the basment 24 years ago and fathered her seven children... The whole time his wife knew nothing about it and thought the daughter had run away. Secret doors, chambers, and cells in the basement... The People Under the Stairs, imo.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/24337573&GT1=43001

Ron Jeremy?

No doubt. Like where did these three kids we have come from?

[RayFoxSith]

He doesn't look like a nice guy, IMO.

[Sayckeone]

It says right in the article that they were found on the front step with notes from the daughter.

[Kakizaki]

[Voodoo]

Bit even with that what kind of person doesn't get suspicious in 24 years. I mean this guy has had to screw up at some point around her. I have a strange feeling his wife is one of those people that knows whats going on and just turns a blind eye. 24 years is just to long to not figure something out when you live with someone.

[Sayckeone]

You're absolutely right, he did screw up. 24 years later.

[Voodoo]

You're absolutely right, he did screw up. 24 years later.

[Futomimi]

Noticed this from Saycke's link:

http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/asiapcf/04/30/india.caste/index.html?iref=mpstoryview

I dont think so. The dud built this crazy place that was behind a hidden 600 lbs door. I think the wife believed it all. The dude made up the story of the daughter being a runaway with fake letters supporting it and then once in awhile the kids would show up at the door step with a not or something saying she couldnt raise them.

The kids that lived underground, besides the sick one, were in surprising good health. This is just way to wild...

[Voodoo]

[RayFoxSith]

Eww..

[Sayckeone]

There's nothing ew about that. It's awesome.

[Arjuna]

Ray would rather be sniffing DTR's comfy corporate office chair @ the superficial HQ IMO.

[Sayckeone]

^Uhh...

[Arjuna]

Was talking about Ray....

[Sayckeone]

Ooohh! OK. lol

[RayFoxSith]

LOL

[Sanctine]

That guy is awesome. I would vote for him.

Indeed.

I'd rather have someone sniffing people's chairs, than someone who spent taxpayer's money on cocaine (which actually did happen in this province's idiotic government). What's worse is that guy ended up being the party leader!

We need more people like this in the government.

[Yazarc]

^I still think I'd rather sit in a council meeting with someone on drugs than someone who wants to sniff the chairs when we're done.

[Sayckeone]

What's wrong with wanting to sniff the chair that some hot chick was just sitting in?

[Yazarc]

I just picture some fat, short, balding, dirty old man doing it as an act of desperation. If he wasn't, he'd score with the hot chick and wouldn't have to do something as pathetic as sniffing her chair.

I suppose if you took away my little scenario it wouldn't be as bad....

[Sayckeone]

^True.

Anyway, Josef Fritzl's wikipedia entry is pretty interesting.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josef_Fritzl

Apparently, his daughter and her children communitate through, not onlytalking, but also a series of animal-like noises, grunts and cooing and whatnot. They're also really pale and are permanently hunched over. I bet they look like Gollum.

[Gillian Seed]

In a similar attack this year, a piece of malicious code was released that disabled software that reads text aloud from a computer screen for blind and visually impaired people. That attack appeared to have been designed to cripple the computers of people using illegal copies of the software, researchers said.

Thats ####ty too. Haha, terrible.

"It is important because if you're driving down the highway and you saw a crash of a small spaceship and a car or a bus full of kids, you really wouldn't know what to do," Peckman said Thursday. "Do you wait for the hazardous materials experts to show up because of potential contaminants from another solar system? What do you do? People really don't know."

[Futomimi]

Asked why he ordered two escorts, Ralph said he thought it was the thing to do when you win a "World of Warcraft" tournament. They told the suspicious working girls they were people of restricted growth working with a traveling circus, and as State law does not allow those with disabilities to be discriminated against they had no right to refuse them.

The $1,000 a night girls sensing something up played "Halo" on the Xbox with the kids, instead of selling their sexual services.

Ralph's ambition is to one day become a politician.

Anyway, I meant to put labels on them but got called away for a consult.
Top Pic: Exophytic teratoma.
Bottom Pic: Internalized (in the gut) teratoma.

Basically, a teratoma is a benign tumor where the pregenitor cells go helter-skelter and start forming whatever specialized type of epithelium or attachment they feel like. Hair, teeth, finger/toe nails, etc. Imagine finding that #### in your stomach!

[RayFoxSith]

That's very scary stuff, Olethros. How often do these types of cases come up?

[Dual]

Imagine finding that #### in your stomach!

I'd rather not, hahaha, but it is interesting.

[Olethros]

That's very scary stuff, Olethros. How often do these types of cases come up?

Fairly rare. I'd have to dig up data to give you exact numbers, but it's certainly not common. Also, it's ugly as sin and disturbing, but only lethal if it's left to cause pressure on internal organs or, as in the top pick, grows way too rapidly.

[RayFoxSith]

Yeah, was that child a new born?

[Futomimi]

There has never been a better time to have been desensitized by hundreds of gory horror movies. blarrrrgh.

[RayFoxSith]

Stupid reason to pull an ad. That said, I hate Rachael Ray.

[Tenbatsu]

Malkin, in a posting following up on last week's column, said of Dunkin's decision to pull the ad, "It's refreshing to see an American company show sensitivity to the concerns of Americans opposed to Islamic jihad and its apologists."


Ridiculous.

[DamnedToBeFree]

Rachael Ray's the Anti-Christ.

[Futomimi]

WTF?
And Rachel Ray is annoying, but nowhere near as bad as Michelle Malkin. She's basically the Asian Bill O'Reilly. C'mon.

[Sanctine]

lol. Wow, just wow.

Wow. Talk about being oblivious. How could you NOT realize there's someone in your house for a whole year?

[DamnedToBeFree]

Homeless people are great roommates.

[Futomimi]

How creepy is that, to realize that some stranger has been showering and doing who knows what else in your bathroom for the past year?

This is a very interesting article.

[RayFoxSith]

I LOL'd when I saw the pic. But it's interesting how there's so many tribes that have no contact with the outside world.

[Chronis]

Why do they looked like Oompa Loompas? There's probably a very good reason why we haven't contacted orange people aisde from protecting them.

^I'm not totally sure on the specifics on all the charges. Yeah, the stuff sounds disturbing and all but it really doesn't sound like any of the actresses were illegal.

And let's face it...the worst part of this is how inferior Max Extreme 20 is to 1 through 19.

[RayFoxSith]

Disgusting.

[Kakizaki]

Yeah that is pretty brutal. Death sentence please.

[Futomimi]

Death sentence please.

exactly what I thought. Every time that I think capital punishment might be a little too harsh (with the probability of the accused being innocent), a story like this comes up.

He was charged in a murder as a juvenile, though the outcome of that case is sealed, a law enforcement official said, and he spent eight years in prison for an attempted-murder conviction in 1996.

He should have been dead a long time ago, imo.

[Saishu]

Somebody needs to take him out.

[Sayckeone]

Yeah that is pretty brutal. Death sentence please.
I disagree. Killing this monster is too kind. #### like this is what makes me a firm believer in "an eye for an eye."

[Kakizaki]

^Well, that is actually what I was thinking of at first. Bleh, this stuff makes me feel sick.

[Sayckeone]

Bleh, this stuff makes me feel sick.
This stuff makes me ashamed of being a man.

[Kakizaki]

Ditto.

[Pigzig]

I think prison is better if he dies he will never feel anything for what he did.

[DarkShear]

Agreed.

By killing him he doesn't have to face what he did every day of his life. While he may not be mentally insane, he obviously does have mental issues. Hopefully they aren't strong enough enough to cloud his mind from the guilt.

[Chronis]

Wow that was disgusting.... Very unsettling. I need to get some Alkaseltzer or something because my stomach is seriously just... bleh

Wow, the recounting of her story in the press is amazing.

[Chronis]

Wow, that Newnation site Sayck linked to is just a wee bit racist, huh? Not that the guy deserves better descriptors but... damn.

lol Yeah, it is. First time I've ever been to it, so don't look at me.

I have a very sound theory on this with evidence to back it up, but I won't get into it on this forum.

[Olethros]

You should start the thread over in Arlus then. I'd be very curious to see if your theories are similar to mine.

[Sayckeone]

^If they aren't, your theories are wrong.

Those with nothing to hide have nothing to fear. Wouldn't want the terrorists to win now would we?.

Can't wait until everything is fingerprinted and logged, that is the best way to keep the world safe.

[Olethros]

[Sei]

Someone should tell Futomimi that sarcasm doesn't travel well through text :(

[Sayckeone]

I don't know about that. He says this sort of thing often enough, that I don't think he's being sarcastic.

Really? How odd. I guess I just can't see how anyone would think this was a great idea. :?

[Sei]

It's obvious really, the best way to protect freedom and liberty is to take it away and put it somewhere safe. This prevents the terrorists from taking it away.

It's an outdated, pre 9-11 mentality spouted by the far left that keeps the world in danger. When everything is run and overseen by the freedom party of America, everyone will truly be free. Iraq and Afghanistan, and the previously free countries of Cuba, Iran, and Haiti are but examples of the prosperity and freedom that awaits the world if it was just to embrace this truth.

Didn't Franklin once say: ""Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve both Liberty and Safety." ?

But I digress.

Thats because 1 in 4 NYC adults are actually hookers

[Tenbatsu]

After reading the article a little more carefully I'm actually more surprised that 18% of the nation is infected with genital herpes.

That's pretty freaking gross.

You'd be amazed at the estimated infection rates of a lot of things. If it can exist in an asymptomatic version, the reservoir in the population will always be quite large.

[Futomimi]

I'm not really surprised, considering the people that I went to HS with, and some of the chicks at school.

[Sanctine]

That's pretty freaking gross.

I read somewhere ~45% of the world has at least one form of herpes. Most people don't even know.

And it infects through birth, as well. Not really a big deal, though. I mean, for the most part, it's a pretty tame disease.

[Futomimi]

It's still gross though... well, the genital and oral forms anyway. And scary, in that genital herpes spreads through the mons pubis, so you can get it even while using a condom.

Herpes is actually a LOT more common than people think, though thankfully HSV-1. Hell, you might even have that, Mimi. Even I may have it. Sometimes people go their whole lives without having a single outbreak.

HSV-2 is a lot worse, and thankfully, it's not as common. HSV-2 is the "gross" one.

[Futomimi]

Yeah, I knew about that. Even pityriasis rosea (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pityriasis_rosea), which I've had an outbreak of, might be a form of human herpes type 7. If that's true, they calculate that it's about as common as chicken pox, and its symptoms only show up in 3% of the population that has it. (I would link to where I read that, but it was about a year ago, and I forgot).

My point was that the "gross" kind of herpes is still pretty easy to catch, and you can go without the symptoms for a while.

[Sanctine]

Oh, no doubt. I'm not saying taking precautions is a bad thing, and people should be wary.

It just bothers me when people start labeling others as being whores or sluts just because they have a form of herpes. Chances are they inherited it from their parents, and those who label others may even have the disease themselves, and not even know it.
