Weird

Mondays are a very good day to be mellow...Mixmaster Morris, aka The Irresistible Force, is one weird dude. The kind of weird that only a couple of decades of taking enough psychedelics to render an elephant retarded will make you. Pleasant guy to chat with though... good stories as you'd imagine. Heck, he even autographed one of my CD decks for me after he used it for a gig. But if you don't

The genetic split in Africa resulted in distinct populations that lived in isolation for as much as 100,000 years, the scientists say.This could have been caused by arid conditions driving a wedge between humans in eastern and southern Africa.Details have been published in the American Journal of Human Genetics.It would be the longest period for which modern human populations have been isolated fr

Sizzlean, the alternative bacon made from beef, was billed as 50% less fat than bacon. It was also one of the first imitation breakfast foods. Beef made to look and taste like bacon? That sounds disgusting. These ads were all over the place in the late 1970's until sometime in the mid-80's. The commercial below is from 1985.Anyone else remember this stuff? I actually remember having it as a kid once, but I don't remember whether it was passable as bacon or just nasty. Of course if it came around today I would never try it. It's amazing what kids are forced to eat. Sizzlean was probably also pumped full of umpteen chemicals to give it that 'bacon taste'.

weird factsOne city commission wants to divide Florida into two states: North Florida and South Florida. The North Lauderdale City Commission says in a resolution that it's not confident in state leaders when it comes to collecting and spending their own money.It also says it would be "in the best interests of the citizens and residents" to divide the state.Commissioner Rich Moyle says they're frustrated with the state Legislature "ignoring the cities in South Florida." But he acknowledges the idea likely won't pass.When asked Tuesday about the resolution, Governor Charlie Crist could only muster up a laugh.Meanwhile, other municipalities and counties are being asked to join in the resolution. The boundary line would be from Palm Beach County down through Monroe County.[Via - CBSNews.Com]

Science has done it again! Now altering an enzyme in the brain can contribute to weight loss. Duke University scientists, in studies in mice, blocked the enzyme CaMKK2 in mice and then measured food intake. Sure enough, the mice with the block ate less and lost weight!'"Remarkably, we find that blocking CaMKK2 in the brain prevents the deposits of fat in liver and skeletal muscle that are characteristic of obese, diabetic patients," said Dr Tony Means."We find this very exciting and are trying to understand the mechanism responsible for this protective effect, as well as to identify more potent drugs to inhibit CaMKK2."'OY!Tags: weight loss, Diet, News, lynda lippin

weird facts -- Charles Ray Fuller must have been planning one big record company.The 21-year-old North Texas man was arrested last week for trying to cash a $360 billion check, saying he wanted to start a record business. Tellers at the Fort Worth bank were immediately suspicious - perhaps the 10 zeros on a personal check tipped them off.Fuller, of suburban Crowley, was arrested on a forgery charge. He was released after posting $3,750 bail.Fuller said his girlfriend's mother gave him the check to start a record business. But bank employees who contacted the account's owner said the woman told them she did not give him permission to take or cash the check.In addition to the forgery count, Fuller was charged with unlawfully carrying a weapon and possessing marijuana.

It's time for me to examine what weird things we measured about you, our readers, in the past month - oh joy! Our greatest source of traffic this month came from reddit.com. Reddit is dear to my heart, so thank you Redditors! We love you here! The 2nd most searched for term that led visitors to our site this month was a search for "a.m. schmitz," the name of one of our regular commenters. Hey a.m., someone out there is looking for you!

weird factsMEXICO CITY — So what if they rage through traffic, cause at least one accident a day and barely stop for passengers. Drivers of Mexico City's rickety old "pesero" buses say they deserve tips for their harrowing rides.Since the city approved a fare hike only for newer buses, the union representing pesero drivers says passengers will be asked to pay tips of at least 50 Mexican cents ($0.05) on top of their normal fares to cover gasoline, maintenance and driver training.The green and white peseros are 20 years old on average, causing major pollution and at least one accident a day, officials said.But drivers say can't afford to replace them: "How can the government demand we give first-class service with third-rate bus fares?" union chief Jose Luis Tenorio said Wednesday.Via - W

Well, it is not me who experienced a weird dreams, but my sister in law, my husband's eldest sister. Last night, my husband and I were talking about his great aunt whom just passed away two days ago. And we started talking about her, and her kids as well. My husband's great aunt has two daughters, the one committed a suicide at her teen years and the other one was just still alive but his great aunt doesn't know her whereabouts after that 1 and a half year ago, that my husband's great aunt and her daughter talk over the phone. And so, I told my husband that probably, her great aunt will show up at her daughter's dream or something. Or maybe, her daughter will dream about her. Right after I said that, my husband told me that her sister (my sister in law) dreamt of their great aunt two

Bowling instances of intervention from the dark force. Bowling is one of the most loved participant sports ever. However, unknown to many people, bowling also has a dark side that silently lurks within the confines of every alley; waiting... Bowling a Bomb The dark force works in mysterious ways. While this tale could not be confirmed - probably due to the embarrassment of all involved - causing panic in the mist of crowded public transportation is not beyond it's capabilities. The year was 1958 in Syracuse, NY. An unnamed bowler boards a public bus with her bowling ball in tow, headed for the local bowling center. The vehicle was almost full and our kegler was forced to make her way to the last seat in the rear, whereupon she placed her bowling bag, broken zipper and all, on the floor nex

weird factsHighly-paid footballers and celebrities are setting a bad example, according to the survey, put out today.It listed spitting and swearing as the most offensive forms of behaviour.Almost nine out of 10 people - 86.2 per cent - think Britons have become ruder than a decade ago, the poll for the ITV1 Tonight television program found."I suppose it's part of the breakdown in society, the fact that we stopped having respect for figures in authority, partly because those in authority didn't command it,'' Diana Mather, an etiquette coach, said.Britons traditionally liked to think of themselves as superior to foreigners at things like queuing and giving up their seats on public transport to disabled people or pregnant women.But the rise of football culture - and football hooligans creati

weird factsROCHESTER, Wash. — Rats from a heavily infested house here are being trapped to be offered for adoption as pets.After being alerted by neighbors, Thurston County animal control officials served a search warrant on April 9 at the residence of Michele Diller, 64. They found that pet rats had ruined the house, chewing through walls, cupboards, drawers and wires, soaking carpets with urine and covering floors with feces. The officials removed a cat, four severely malnourished snakes, five mice and two rats.Since then, county health officials have said the house will be condemned and Diller has moved to an apartment in neighboring Lewis County to await assisted-living housing.Poisoned traps were set for a time to eliminate the rats, apparently the offspring of a few Diller purchase

weird factsItalian police have arrested 39 people and seized truckloads of fake olive oil destined for the United States, Germany and Switzerland to be sold at a big profit.Police said on Monday they seized 25,000 litres of the fake oil. The gang was adding flavouring and colourants to vegetable oil and slapping false labels on to bottles that claimed the contents were extra-virgin olive oil.Random tests on olive oil, as well as suspicions raised by some Italian restaurateurs and retailers, had led police to make the discovery. Police impounded contents of seven premises where the fake oil was being produced."We blocked the export of huge amounts of the oil to America, Germany and Switzerland, avoiding another international scandal after the buffalo mozzarella case," said Ernesto Di Gregor

It wouldn’t be a long stretch to say that companies that fall victim to an information security breach have a public relations problem in their hands.  Admitting (or in some cases, just alerting—no admitting allowed) that a company has inconvenienced their clients has never been a good move.  And so the spin‑doctors were born.  In some cases, it seems a better term would be spin‑quacks.  I mean, the last thing a company wants to do if subject to a data breach is to appear incompetent.  Granted, incompetence—or its flipside, a sunshine information security policy of “everything will be fine; computer theft happens to everyone else.  Let’s go have a picnic and leave our laptops on a table while we go have a dip in the lake.  That’s how we s

weird factsWomen seeking a lifelong mate might do well to choose the guy a notch below them in the looks category. New research reveals couples in which the wife is better looking than her husband are more positive and supportive than other match-ups.The reason, researchers suspect, is that men place great value on beauty, whereas women are more interested in having a supportive husband. Researchers admit that looks are subjective, but studies show there are some universal standards, including large eyes, "baby face" features, symmetric faces, so-called average faces, and specific waist-hip ratios in men versus women.Past research has shown that individuals with comparable stunning looks are attracted to each other and once they hook up they report greater relationship satisfaction.

So I was just sitting here, playing one of my Shockwave games, watching PBS.  Suddenly there's a loud POP that scared me half out of my seat, and everything goes out.  At first I thought maybe we'd blown a fuse, but I hadn't been doing anything I don't normally do every day.  Plus, the lights were still on and the TV came back quickly with snow.  The cable box was going through a sequence of lights I didn't even know it had.  Weird.I figured some strong wind or delinquent kid had just given a cable somewhere in our building a good tug.  So I set about resetting and rebooting everything.  I noticed out of the corner of my eye, a friend of mine being signed back in to MSN.  She works just a few blocks from where I live, and I wondered if maybe her powe

I had a client recently who said "I just want to feel normal." I understand the sentiment and yet my reaction when I hear this goal (which comes up fairly regularly) is mixed. Generally I find the underlying desire for "normal" is a need to feel OK in your own skin, to feel accepted and acceptable. At the root is some combination of shame and exhaustion: shame (the wellspring of most dysfunction) at feeling somehow defective and exhaustion at trying so hard to achieve an elusive peace of mind.When exploring the concept of "normal" what often emerges as its feared opposite is the dread of being "weird". There is an old saying that it's risky to compare your insides with somebody else's outside. In other words it's easy to look at someone else and think they have it all together while k

Britney Spears - Fat, weird and perfect wife for MobyMoby is head over heels for Britney the blonde Predator and is actually turned on by her physical and mental collapse.

I found her moderately appealing in the late 90s, but now I would marry her in a heartbeat." I don't want to say that's creepy because it's not.

weird facts - When the U.S. Postal Service rang up a $13,500 tab at an Orlando steakhouse, it spared no expense during a five-hour meal that government investigators are calling "abusive" in its extravagance.The order -- charged to government credit cards -- included more than $3,000 for drinks, more than $500 for shrimp cocktails and almost $900 for mini crab cakes, according to the Government Accountability Office, the investigate arm of Congress.And then there's the steak. "The better question is probably what they didn't order," GAO investigator Gregory Kutz said Wednesday. He counted 81 entrees -- including just about every kind of steak -- from the 2006 feast at Ruth's Chris Steak House on Sand Lake Road.The GAO cited the Orlando meal as part of an overarching audit into abuse of gov

For example, an opening “bid” of any sort is usually perceived as a mental anchor, a starting point for the psychological jockeying to follow. ... What makes us settle on a response?

Out of all the genres of books that have been written, science fiction seems to be one that is a class apart from all the others. The feeling towards the genre is either one of fanatic following and great enjoyment or extreme hatred. Those who have a natural penchant for unearthly objects and unsolved mysteries [...]

This is one of the few times that I have looked at techmeme and basically walked away thinking “what is all this stuff”. It is not only the quality of the posts, but what the posts are talking about. If there is anyway to track bloggeria, then techmeme is it. What happens though when techmeme [...]

The guy has to be one of the craziest / toughest SOBs I have ever read about. A guy climbed out of the drivers side window of his mini-van while it was traveling at 55 MPH on the interstate and tried to surf on top of the roof. The mini-van hit the guardrail which threw [...]

I discover some very weird stats in my Advertlets account. Look at the screen shot: On 3rd and 4th April the impressions seem exceptionally low. Then look at my Google Analytics: On the above 2 dates I had more than 200 visitors to my blog per day. Some sale/discount/promotion going on?

I can't believe the twists and turns that my life keeps on taking.  Last weekend I had a lounge room full of pretty girls, but they were all way too young for me. Emma had a sleep over pool party at our new place! The trouble was the pool maintenance guy had been told to turn the pool heater off at the end of daylight savings and he forgot that it ended a week later this year so the pool was freezing. Swimming was canceled and replaced with a "Bring It On" movie marathon. I have finally finished with the crappy landlords from my last rental place. I picked up my lease refund cheque today. In the end they dropped all of their stupid arbitrary and incorrect claims in return for me paying them $40 to remove the dead man ferns that they killed themselves. I know that you

weird facts — They work long hours, often to exhaustion. Many are paid by the piece — not garments, but blog posts. This is the digital-era sweatshop. You may know it by a different name: home.A growing work force of home-office laborers and entrepreneurs, armed with computers and smartphones and wired to the hilt, are toiling under great physical and emotional stress created by the around-the-clock Internet economy that demands a constant stream of news and comment. Of course, the bloggers can work elsewhere, and they profess a love of the nonstop action and perhaps the chance to create a global media outlet without a major up-front investment. At the same time, some are starting to wonder if something has gone very wrong. In the last few months, two among their ranks have died sudden

Martin AmisWriter Laura Miller does a fascinating job of deconstructing Martin Amis' latest diatribe against Islam in an article for Salon. Reviewing Amis' new book, “The Second Plane : September 11: Terror and Boredom,” (214pp. Cape, $26), she notes that the British author, who got in trouble last year for his hysterical remarks that he wants to punish Muslims until they "get their house in order" by "getting tough with their children." It turns out that his is no Islamophobe but an “Islamismophobe” and has collected a series of his essays and articles written between Sept. 11 and 2007 that addresses the lunatic fringe of Islam. All religions have their lunatic fringe and Islam is no different, but Miller points out that Amis offers no new insight on how to deal with a band of

Continuing my series about how TV works in the UK and what makes it different to US TV. In Part One, we learned about the establishment of the BBC, which is funded by a compulsory licence fee and, until 1955, had a complete monopoly on television in the UK. However, in 1955, ITV was established and [...]

After Jake's 3rd night of misery, I knew this morning I needed to make the trip to Urgent Care. He just looked miserable...oh, how it just rips my heart out! It seems my children prefer to get really sick during non-office hours...I am really thankful for Urgent Care! He's a trooper, and it ended up just being an ear infection, which was really the best of all the options it could be...because

Hello, I’m Matthew and I’m mainly going to be writing about Doctor Who (which starts its fourth series here in the UK tonight) and also about some of the many British TV programmes which are relatively unknown in the US, but which are worth investigating. To complement these posts, however, I’ve also written a six-part guide [...]

I really have to work on getting back into a better sleep pattern - this week has been way off. Hubby's snoring woke me up again - even with my earplugs in! So I thought I'd take advantage of this time and get online. (In my house that's hard to do sometimes. We have three computers - but only one is connected to the internet & somebody seems to always be on... )We finished off our March budget in the black - Yippee! With property taxes & those couple of six month insurance bills due - it is always an expensive month for us. Setting aside that money in our irregular expenses savings account totally did the trick! Now I'm just waiting to hear back from the CPA to see what our income tax return is going to look like. Thankfully we were good & set aside money for that too..

"With new superhero movies coming out seemingly every three days, it's tough to maintain an interest when so many of them feel like redundant cash-ins. Because of the sad state of superhero movies, we decided to examine the pros and cons of several neglected characters who could possibly spice up this flailing movie genre. So evil doers beware, as we present "7 Weird Superheros that Won't Ever Hit the Silver Screen"[via omg list]
