Get well soon! . . . or kill yourself, depending.

Russian ‘genius’ lived with 26 female bodies:

Russian media reported that Moskvina kept at least 26 bodies in his small, three-room apartment. They all belong to females aged between 15 and 26 who died years ago. The bodies were “dried up,” Interfax reported.

Life News reported that Moskvina, who is a historian and was also involved in journalism, visited hundreds of cemeteries at night and dug up the bodies with a shovel. He then put the remains in plastic bags and dragged them to his home.

Once the bodies were in his apartment, Moskvina dressed the bodies up as dolls. Photos released by Life News showed one skeleton wearing a dress, stockings and other clothing while another body appeared to have been dressed as a teddy bear.

First Jeopardy, and now this?

From Discovery.com (emphasis mine):

A team of researchers lead by Lulu Qian from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have for the first developed an artificial neural network — that is, the beginnings of a brain — out of DNA molecules. And when quizzed, the brain answered the questions correctly.

How could this ever become a problem? I really should have named my boy John Connor Kennedy.

Little fucker. This is what happens when short-sighted childcare “experts” discourage corporal punishment. Just saying. Two to three days without food and he’ll read anything you smear bacon grease on. Just ask me and my brother.

In stark contrast to the little bastard above, I loved my books:

Ninja Attack!
Do you have any books that have died from mysterious accidents, or simply disappeared? You might already have this book.

Decoded!
A sprawling memoir by the man who transcended his music and built a corporate empire. Should be interesting in a ‘if Machiavelli could rap’ kind of way. I really admire Jay-Z for his ability to seduce massive brands into lucrative partnerships. [hipster] Of course, I haven’t listened to him since the jiggityjiggity Jaz days. [/hipster]

The Saxon Chronicles!
Epic historical fiction, following the struggles between the Saxon English and Danish invaders during the 800s. Tessa told me the Cornwell books were “bodice-rippers for men,” and she was right. Violence, war, swordfighting, war, gore, intrigue, more fighting, politics and history. And fighting. What’s not to like?

When Conan was a little kid, he wanted to grow up to be Uhtred.

The Venture Brothers, Season 1*!

Also, my baby came with an owner’s manual. Nice.

Arab ambassador discovers bride is bearded and cross-eyed behind veil

An Arab ambassador has called off his wedding after discovering his wife-to-be who wears a face-covering veil is bearded and cross-eyed.

The envoy had only met the woman a few times, during which she had hidden her face behind a niqab, the Gulf News reported.

After the marriage contract was signed, the ambassador attempted to kiss his bride-to-be. It was only then that he discovered her facial hair and eyes.

Off to the Telegraph to find out how the Sharia Court ruled.  Public lashings for both of  them?  Or just her?  »

Point the second: The current Christian obsession with getting teenagers not to have sex is the very definition of “Sisyphean.”

Point the third: Abstinance-only education (and the ‘purity’ trope not only fails in every regard, it nets out in more unwanted pregnancies and STDs.

Via openeducation.net:
Therefore, those youngsters who took the virginity pledge were not only just as likely to have intercourse, they ultimately were more likely to take part in sex in an unsafe manner.

^ That would be the boulder rolling back down the hill part.

And to be honest with you, I would probably rather be 14 and pregnant with siphylis than have to sit through this more than once:
