Quilt showing woman's genitals has quilters in a tizzy
A quilt showing a pregnant woman and her fully exposed vagina has this quilt show crowd worked up in a tizzy. The funny part is that most of those upset, have one of these body parts themselves.
Mafia exaggerates how long it takes to dissolve a corpse

Using pig carcasses, scientists determined it took two days to dissolve a corpse, if water was added, which speeds the process. The research was reported at a recent meeting of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences.
Moral: You just can't trust the Mafia.
Disease predicted from satellite photos
Biologist Denise Dearing of the University of Utah believes she and her team can predict the outbreak of disease by studying satellite images and comparing colour patterns. It follows animal behavior as it relates to vegetation and looks for trends that would indicate a possible outbreak of disease. Interesting and innovative for sure. Read more about it on Phyorg.com.
Maybe my favorite site ever: Liquor.com
What can I say – I just love this site. For the record, I have absolutely no connection to it, other than my extreme love of single malt scotch. Have a visit: Liquor.com

They’re off like a herd of turtles: In Florida "Redneck" is a religion
 |
| from the Smoking Gun |
"Suspect Joshua Lee Joehlin told cops that he is a member of the “Redneck” faith. Joehlin, a 20-year-old Texan, was busted early Sunday morning on a felony charge of engaging in a lewd and lascivious act with a minor. Joehlin is being held in the Manatee County jail in lieu of $10,000 bond."
For the record here is the Wikipedia definition of a redneck:
"Originally used in reference to poor, white farmers, redneck is a historically derogatory slang term to refer to working class Southerners in the United States.[1] It is similar in meaning to "cracker" (especially regarding Georgia and Florida), "hillbilly" (especially regarding Appalachia and the Ozarks)[2] and "white trash".

Dumb burglar posts his pic on victim's Facebook page

| The Facebook photo of Rodney Knight |
Fisher wrote, "He felt compelled to showboat about his big achievement: He opened my son's computer, took a photo of himself sneering as he pointed to the cash lifted from my son's desk, and then went on my son's Facebook account and posted the picture for 400 teenagers to see. In the picture, the man is wearing my new winter coat, the one that was stolen right out of the Macy's box it had just arrived in."
Rodney Knight, 19, pleaded guilty to second-degree burglary and to carrying a pistol without a license. He should get two extra years for stupidity.

Video: Charlie Sheen's whacked out radio interview causes CBS to shut down his show
CBS has shut down Two and a Half Men for the season after Sheen's truly wacky radio interview with conservative radio host Alex Jones. Some highlights:
• Claimed he cured his alcoholism "with my mind"
• Called his pornstar lovers his "goddesses"
• Insulted show creator Chuck Lorrie "I violently hate Chaim Levine (Chuck Lorre). He's a stupid, stupid little man and a pussy punk that I'd never want to be like."
And it gets even better. Listen and watch:

Dragonfly InsectothopterDeveloped by CIA’s Office of Research and Development in the 1970s, this micro Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) was the first flight of an insect-sized aerial vehicle (Insectothopter). It was an initiative to explore the concept of intelligence collection by miniaturized platforms. |

Video: Foley artists - the guys that make all the cool sounds in movies
Watch this cool video about Adrian Chen, a Foley artist. They're the people that use all kinds of weird stuff to make the sounds we hear in movies. The sound of a horse galloping through the meadow – that's the work of a Foley artist.

Video: Electronic cigarette banned from planes
I didn't even realize this was an issue and likely the U.S. Department of Transportation didn't as well. That is, until videos like this one of a man smoking a "smokeless" electronic cigarette on a plane started turning up on YouTube. Secretary Ray LaHood said regulations banning smoking do cover e-cigarettes. So butt out those high tech smokes now!

GM Futurliner may grab $600K at auction
Auction house RM is going to be offering one of the coolest buses ever made at its upcoming auction in May: The GM Futurliner. It was made by GM as part of its parade of progress – a traveling auto show in the 1940's and 50's. There were twelve of these babies built and only 8 are know to survive. Very cool.

Video: Judge jails man for ringing phone
A Kentucky judge just got fed up with phones ringing in his court. I guess they are calling him the "Hanging-up Judge" now. Have a look as he jails the phone ranger.
Video: Coach hits and kicks player during practice
Matt Kravchuk likely knew that playing with Holy Family University in Philadelphia was going to be a tough grind, but I'm guessing he didn't sign up for this. During a rebounding drill Kravchuk wasn't working hard enough for coach John O’Connor. O’Connor decided to "inspire" Kravchuk by knocking him to the ground and kicking him while yelling “get up!” Kravchuk – injured and bleeding, got up and went to the back of the line. O’Connor continued saying ”Got a little blood on ya? Good,” and then kicked him out of practice. O'Connor has been suspended. One hell of a coach.
