…are as easy to peg as Somalians, Peruvians, Ethiopians or Philippinos.
What i mean by that is, those nations (for a myriad of reasons) produce people who look so undeniably similar that guessing their nationality wouldn’t be as hard as…oh, let’s say, trying to guess the nationality of a Korean, Chinese, Argentinian, Grenadian or Welsh person.
The 2 photos below are perfect examples – to me the female with Somalian ancestry is blaringly obvious.
Which one do you think is Somalian? (scroll down to find out)
The top picture is the Somalian woman. – Think Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, K’naan, Iman and BAM you have a mental image of classic somali features.
anywhoooo
So as i start skimming around looking at all these different ethnicities and i find this little nugget that makes me wanna be Peruvian. So so dope! ADIDAS ORIGINALS PERU TRACK TOP $85usd
I didn’t include videos, sorry! but i guarentee if you poke around my blog you’ll find numerous posts w/ JAW-DROPPING vids + pics of MAJOR althete injuries. srsly badass. I find broken bones the most fascinating thing to watch. ..errm, there’s no way of saying that without sounding like a creeeper…but srsly i know i’m not the only one.
scroll down to the bottom for the full Top 12 list link.
On February 19th, 2006, while playing in the Italian Championship against Empoli F.C., he suffered a leg injury fracturing his left fibula and severing the interconnecting ligaments with the malleolus. He was operated the same night by Prof. Mariani, a renowned Italian orthopedic surgeon.
The (kinda totally cute’ish) German midfielder Ewald Lienen suffered an injury in 1981, which proves that it’s not just broken bones that can be horrific. A sliding tackle from a Werder Bremen defender slices open Lienen’s thigh, to reveal the tissue and bone of the player’s leg.
The Coventry defender David Busst suffered a compound fracture of the tibia and fibula in this collision with Manchester United defender Denis Irwin during a match at Old Trafford in April 1996. The leg break was so bad that the bone pierced the skin and Busst’s blood had to be cleared from the pitch. He never played professionally again. United goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel, who witnessed the injury, required counseling afterwards.
Cisse fractured his right leg after being tackled by the Shandong Lunengdefender during a friendly international soccer match in Saint Etienne, France in 2006. The accident happened during the 10th minute of the match, in which France got a 3-1 victory over China.
In a match between Cruz Azul and Tecos UAG on June 12th, 2007, the Mexican soccer player suffered a dramatic fracture while attempting to recover a ball for his team and twisted his ankle. After many months of recovery, he returned to the field in 2007 and has become an important starting eleven player on the team
I mean, we all go off on our random and slightly-dark google search-a-thons from time to time, right? anyone?? no?….not so much?
eitherway…this just reeks of bangkok hotel rooms, and for that reason it’s another perfect random gooder to add to the swarm of ‘wtf’ness’ floating around in the Internet Ocean…probably dont need to tell you this is NSFW, but just in case the name and/or pic didn’t tip u off, this is NSFW.
..granted this aint even that wtf’ish, i mean, to a hentai watcher this is just plain ol’ PG-13 non-CGI shit, but there was just something about that picture (featured above) that inspired me to share this.
Also, i don’t want to sound condescending and assume… but while we’re on the porn topic everyone has at least heard of youpornright? I wouldn’t want to leave one jaded soul behind in having access to free quality user-submitted porn videos, it just wouldn’t be right in this day and age.
the write up says it’s “TIME’s #2 Top Viral Video of 2009!!!” and after watching I’m lefting wondering what the F could beat this video for the #1 position??
I thought i was having a real productive day until I watched this and then promptly gave up. why fucking bother, nothing can top this shit. nothing.
Alanna you are a GENIUS for sending me this gem!!!
All of these are actual laws, but i’m suresomeare situational technicalities or archaic moot legislature that would not hold up in court with much validity…I hope.
*pulls at her collar uncomfortably* here goes:
-The penalty for masturbation in Indonesia is decapitation. (and an angel gets AIDS, haha)
-There are men in Guam whose full-time job is to travel the countryside and deflower young virgins, who pay them for the privilege of having sex for the first time. Reason: under Guam law, it is expressly forbidden for virgins to marry. (the only difference in North America is it’s more of a unspoken zeitgeist and the men are called ‘professional athletes’)
-In Hong Kong, a betrayed wife is legally allowed to kill her adulterous husband, but may only do so with her bare hands. The husband’s illicit lover, on the other hand, may be killed in any manner desired. (I’m surprised I haven’t heard of this one before, i suspect it is srsly underutilized much to the relief of all the adulterers..people in glass houses….just sayin…)
-Topless saleswomen are legal in Liverpool, England – but only in tropical fish stores. (Don’t ask me why being topless and female is illegal in most 1st world countries..I have no theoretical clue, but realistically I understand fully – it’s the kind’ve civil liberty most women don’t mind being deprived of since we all silently acknowledge that we’d never be able to pull it off without sex& irony being a major factor)
-In Santa Cruz, Bolivia, it is illegal for a man to have sex with a woman and her daughter at the same time. (No shit…but begs the question, why the need for such a ridiculous legistlation to be permanentized? Srsly, rly… How many men were trying this feat in and around the time this law was passed? wtf?)
also i should state for the record, i found these “laws” on teh internetz and have not fact-checked these statements to be legit or not, so take it with a grain of salt…kind’ve like rape or evolution.
Like one cautionary tale after the next, i promptly shut my laptop and stumbled down the stairs to make a well-balanced breakfast and pop in the Yoga dvd unused from summer 08′ still in it’s plastic wrap.
This track has been on high-rotation in my playlists lately. Def one of my new favesthhat just happened to be featured in my new fave HBO series, Eastbound & Down.
The main character Kenny Powers is played by Danny R. McBride, who played ‘Red’ in Pinapple Express. He seemed to come out of nowhere, but good god this man is a comedic genius. srsly. srsly.
The show is on HBO btw…and has a killer soundtrack.
Synthol is one of the best known and most used SEO’s. A Site Enhancement Oil (SEO) is a liquid substance, usually a mixture of oils, used by some bodybuilders to increase the apparent size of some muscles. The effects of SEOs are purely and solely cosmetic and there is no increase in muscular performance.
Synthol – is an intramuscular lipid acid, which is a synthetic oil and is introduced into the muscle if you want to enlarge it. The substance penetrates into the spaces between muscle fibers and remains there. About 70 percent of the drug is maintained in muscles, while the other 30 – immediately break down into lipids, just like any other fats. It enters the body through the digestive tract. The result of Synthol lasts about of 3-5 years.
I think hands down the posterboy for Synthol abuse would go to: Gregg Valentino (he’s the first pic of this entry) , i’m not sure if you caught his documentary on TLC ‘ The Man Who’s Arms Exploded’ but it’s well worth a watch. Tyra even interviewed him months later, and in true Tyra fashion, gave him shit. Some side effects of his dangerous cocktail of Synthol and other steroids caused: A permanent erection, peanut-sized testicles, thick brown urine, epic bitch tits, uncontrollable mood swings, and organ failure. warning the video is nasty…
In an ironic event that may be called the mice revenge, mice are being held responsible for a blaze that killed nearly 100 cats at an animal shelter near the Canadian city of Toronto. The fire at the humane society shelter in Oshawa also killed three dogs and some rats that were up for adoption. An initial report from the fire marshal says mice or rats chewing through electrical wires in the ceiling are likely to have sparked the blaze. The $250,000 (£137,000) fire is still under investigation by the Ontario Fire Marshal’s office. link.

[something smells EPIC'ly fishy with this whole situation. The british health-care system is very similar to Canada's, and i cannot fathom a situation where an arm this busted up wouldn't be seen to since ASAP. like...srsly, just stare at it for 10 seconds...no man...this is fishy fishy fishy, but eitherway here's the story + link]
A plumber whose arm was left twisted grotesquely out of shape in an accident ten months ago has had an operation to correct it ‘cancelled four times’.
Torron Eeles, 50, has been left unable to work since falling down the stairs and now fears he may lose his home after being denied incapacity benefit.
The father-of-three today hit out at the NHS for the ‘unacceptable delays’, but East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust said Mr Eeles had his operation cancelled on ‘only’ two occasions on clinical safety grounds.
His left arm has hung limply by his side since he fractured the humerus bone in December 2008.
I stumbled upon this blog – - - The gist of it is:
When asked a question a “normally organized” right-handed person looks (from your viewpoint, looking at them):
Up and to the Left Indicates: Visually Constructed Images (Vc) If you asked someone to “Imagine a purple buffalo”, this would be the direction their eyes moved in while thinking about the question as they “Visually Constructed” a purple buffalo in their mind.
Up and to the Right Indicates: Visually Remembered Images (Vr) If you asked someone to “What color was the first house you lived in?”, this would be the direction their eyes moved in while thinking about the question as they “Visually Remembered” the color of their childhood home.
To the Left Indicates: Auditory Constructed (Ac) If you asked someone to “Try and create the highest the sound of the pitch possible in your head”, this would be the direction their eyes moved in while thinking about the question as they “Auditorily Constructed” this this sound that they have never heard of.
To the Right Indicates: Auditory Remembered (Ar) If you asked someone to “Remember what their mother’s voice sounds like “, this would be the direction their eyes moved in while thinking about the question as they “Auditorily Remembered ” this sound.
Down and to the Left Indicates: Feeling / Kinesthetic (F) If you asked someone to “Can you remember the smell of a campfire? “, this would be the direction their eyes moved in while thinking about the question as they used recalled a smell, feeling, or taste.
Down and To the Right Indicates: Internal Dialog (Ai) This is the direction of someone eyes as they “talk to themselves”.
*A typical left-handed person would have the opposite meanings for their eye-directions
FACT: You use most of your body when you are sitting at a computer typing on a keyboard – not just your eyes and fingers. Your muscles allow you to sit in an upright position and all of your organs are working (sometimes, even your brain).
Sadly, despite this amazing fact, surfing the Internet does not qualify as a workout.
Is your surfing position an Igor-style hunch rather than a hang ten? Do you have the wild, crazy Igor eyes to match? Then you need to read this list!
Eligibility: To get on the list, the condition must be directly related to Internet use (I’m defining condition as an illness, disorder, or injury).
Rank: Ranked by the seriousness of the condition and number of people affected, as interpreted by me (it’s my list).
As always I will personally reply to any recommendations or complaints in the comments below, so go nuts (but not nuts like #3 below, please…)
10. Eyestrain
When you use your eyes a lot, they get strained- so when you stare at a computer screen intensely for hours it isn’t a surprise when your eyes get sore. According to mayoclinic.com: “Although eyestrain can be annoying, it usually isn’t serious and goes away once you rest your eyes”, placing it firmly in tenth place on this list.
9. Health Anxiety/Pain Catastrophization
Some people have a tendency to misinterpret or over-interpret pain signals. According to Wikipedia, “psychologists refer to this as pain catastrophizing (the tendency to think the worst when one feels pain).” According to the same source, health anxiety is a “sense that something is seriously wrong that does not lessen with normal test results and reassurance from health professionals.”
Thanks to all of the scary medical information available on the Internet (some of it’s even true), people who never experienced health anxiety or pain catastrophization before are now freaking out. Speaking from experience, the Internet can make a borderline hypochondriac cross over into crazy town. Thanks a search on the Internet, a sudden case of the late-night sniffles could be nasal polyps or even diphtheria. We’re not saying it is for sure, but there’s a chance… pleasant dreams!
Above: Exhibit A demonstrating this point by dancing to “My Humps”. Dude has a crazy looking mid-section, guhh.
OMFG, this one is even creepier. He’s performing to Britney Spears’ ‘Circus’ and you can hear him sing along, in all my time blogging this is bar far one of the most unsettling things i’ve seen online. This one FAR EXCEEDS the first video. Dear God we are done for.

Mark Corrigan: Yes, good.. You’know I actually find it kind’ve comforting that our entire relationship can be reduced to an online speech template. I mean, Kenneth Halliwell and Jo Orton couldn’t do that.
