Now I know why there are necrophiliacs in this world.Diddy_Mao said:
For the weirdest thing I know is there is a sight where theres a guy that almost has the exact same profile name as me. The sight involves people who gain weight on purpose because they want to. I found this site by trying to locate a blog called Chronic Opinions which is my blog... Then it lead me to this sight where a guy named "Chronic" was ,which was the freakiest site.
Anyway heres the link. http://bigguts.com/
There is also another weird site I know of where people think they have real super powers.
Heres the Link. http://www.realsuperpowers.com/
I wouldn't be surprised, actually. American soldiers were used as test subjects in the desert (was it Nevada's desert? I can't remember at the moment) to see the effects of radiation. They simply were left there without cover when a bomb was detonated, far away so they wouldn't be killed by the actual explosion blast, but close enough for the radiation to cause very fast poisoning.Daystar Clarion said:

There's an infinitely small but non-zero chance for any atom in our universe to suddenly phase out of existance, which, by extension, means there's an even smaller but still non-zero chance that one of your organs could do the same thing. And again, even smaller, still non-zero chance that the same could happen to your house, your family, your town, the entire planet, or even the sun itself.
Dolphins are forming in giant 'superpods', like giant dolphin armies that stretch miles long, in place where dolphins have never been seen before. Also, those cute and cuddly little Flipper look alikes you love so much, they've been known to gangrape other dolphins (and the odd person), and kill (often baby) porpoises for fun. Have fun swimming in the ocean now.
Your memories are easy to screw with. For example...
Simple repetition can allow people to make you remember a false or made up memory as true.
Your brain makes stuff up. This follows with the repetition thing. If you're given a false memory, then your brain will often make up the other details and some other memories to go with it. This had a famous case with a woman undergoing psychotherapy to 'uncover repressed memories'. The psychologist used repetition, among other tricks, to eventually make the woman believe, among other things, that her parents had raped her repeatedly from childhood until she left home, that she had been part of a cult and had eaten a baby, that she had been a prostitute, and that she had had several abortions. She had developed a lifetime worth of memories and details to go along with these lies. It was later revealed that it was all fake however, that she had been in her mid-twenties before losing her virginity, that she had never been pregnant, and that she'd certainly never been part of the supposed cult (seriously it was supposed to be on the other side of the country from where she was living at the time).
There's also this whole bit about manipulated images and how they can screw with your head, but I'll save it for later.
...also, sneezing can kill you. Seriously, it can stop the heart of a healthy person.

Margarine is not actually food. Rats will avoid it, meaning you leave it out they won't ever eat it. Also it has a chemical composition that very closely resembles plastic.
Forget where I heard that tho so I could be full of shit.
But I do know that McDonalds fries do not biodegrade. They just harden up like little fry-shaped rocks.

Kill it, KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!!! Why would you post that?Dr. Whiggs said:
The pistol shrimp when it snaps it's claw for a few micro seconds, creates temperatures of up to 8,500 degrees.
The margarine thing is true, the chemical composition is about a molecule off from being plastic. Ants, rats, and any other animal that would normally eat anything resembling butter...or food really, avoids the hell out of it. Also, it doesn't mold or biodegrade IIRC.amaranth_dru said:
The worse bit of that is that there are people who will actually choose margarine over butter.
I was in history class one day and the Prof. said the reason why Hiroshima was bombed was to intimidate the Russians.
Also Darth Vader is Luke's father? Man!

Oh, do enlighten this chemist: how can one compound be only one molecule away from another? Hm?Rocksa said:
Yeah, that's bullshit. Margerine is fat, like butter. It cannot be "one molecule away from plastic," because plastic is a polymer (ie a single molecule). Education...get it at some point...
OT: I could go on endlessly about the quantum world, but I'll keep it to the most interesting bit. Have you heard that in QM, a particle can occupy two spaces at the same time? Well, that's bullshit. This comes from a very famous experiment by Tonomura, which demonstrated that electrons exhibit wave characteristics. The conclusion that the electron in question can be at two places simultaneously was erroneously derived by people who didn't understand the data.

In an attempt to keep the local cemeteries from becoming too crowded, a certain town in France made it, I kid you not, ILLEGAL TO DIE.
