sinistratii sunt sinistri
Cei o suta de sinistrati adusi in tabara Lacu Sarat din judetul Braila, dupa ce apele Dunarii au crescut si au intrat in cele doua blocuri sociale in care locuiau, au provocat distrugeri semnificative in locurile unde au fost cazati, bagand pe foc chiar si bancile stradale din statiune, pe care le-au folosit drept combustibil pentru gratare

"...the elusive Swiss-born New York artist Bruno Jakob, a painter distinctive for using clear water and bodily energy as his mediums. In one piece in the show we see him standing in a field holding an empty canvas in front of a horse, presumably creating a portrait from equine brain waves."

Disarming.

Michigan machinist GarE Maxton makes many different types of interlocking solid puzzles of this type, but this one, which he calls The Intimidator, is his masterpiece. Starting the disassembly process requires a special key. Once diassembled, about 20 of the pieces can be recombined to make a functioning single-shot pistol. Other parts of the puzzle separately and securely store "a customized set of tools, all necessary hardware, 45 caliber bullets, a standard sight, a laser sight, a cannister containing black powder pellets, a secure storage area for 209 shotgun primers, a spent primer removal tool and a ramrod for loading the bullets."

dragostea-i o melodie, traficul o jucarie
[...]acum vreo două săptămîni, o prietenă trebuia să ajungă în timp record la aeroportul Băneasa. Face comandă la taxi, acesta vine într-un tîrziu, se urcă şi dă peste... el – taximetristul supererou. Vizibil iritată şi agitată, îi explică pe scurt că-i grăbită şi că trebuie să prindă avionul. Replica lui loveşte prompt: „Nu te speria păpuşe, cu mine eşti în siguranţă“. (Timp în care accelera cu putere, tăia benzile frenetic şi era claxonat din toate părţile.) „Nu mai înjura, în morţii tăi, că fata mea pierde avionul şi mă grăbesc!“ După care, întorcîndu-se spre ea, care avea deja inima cît un purice: „Nu fii tristă, că ajungem. Stai să-ţi pun o piesă de dragoste.“ Şi i-a pus. Jennifer Rush – „The Power of Love“. Apoi a adăugat triumfător: „Asta-i melodie, nu jucărie“.

competenta, aceasta pasare rara
Decizia omului din Şendreni a fost una perfectă. Imediat s-a luat legătura cu Videanu, s-au făcut analize, iar tehnicienii şi-au dat avizul. S-a dovedit că ideea omului a fost foarte bună. Cetăţeanul a lucrat acolo şi s-a văzut că ştie ce vorbeşte. Nu se întâmplă des aşa ceva", a spus secretarul de stat.
and then it hit me
The Boomerang unit attaches on a mast to the rear of a vehicle and uses an array of seven small microphone sensors. The sensors detect and measure both the muzzle blast and the supersonic shock wave from a supersonic bullet traveling through the air (and so is ineffective against sub-sonic ammunition).
Each microphone detects the sound at slightly different times. Boomerang then uses sophisticated algorithms to compute the direction a bullet is coming from, distance above the ground and range to the shooter in less than one second.
Users receive simultaneous visual and auditory information on the point of fire from an LED 12-hour clock image display panel and speaker mounted inside the vehicle. For example, if someone is firing from the rear, the system announces "Shot, 6 o'clock", an LED illuminates at the 6 o'clock position, and the computer tells the user the shooter's range, elevation, and azimuth.

The Neuroscience of Screwing Up
The reason we’re so resistant to anomalous information — the real reason researchers automatically assume that every unexpected result is a stupid mistake — is rooted in the way the human brain works....
The Moral Life of Babies
The mental life of young humans not only is an interesting topic in its own right; it also raises — and can help answer — fundamental questions of philosophy and psychology, including how biological...
Opium Made Easy
...whether or not the opium poppies in your garden are illicit depends not on what you do, or even intend to do, with them but very simply on what you know about them. Hence my warning: if you have any desire to grow opium poppies, you would be wise to stop reading right now.
Love, Sex, Freedom and Paradox
Today more than 100 million women around the world start their day with this tiny tablet. So small. So powerful. But in surprising ways, so misunderstood.
Dead Man Driving
In a crash, everything in the car becomes a potential weapon. A collapsible steering wheel can crush the ribs of an unrestrained driver. A and B pillars perform like baseball bats in the hands of a Mafia hit man. Seatbelts crack clavicles, bruise spleens, burst bladders. Even the gentlest of restraints -- the airbag -- can shatter limbs and leave alkali burns on eyes.
Connecting the Dots
In the fall of 1973, the Syrian Army began to gather a large number of tanks, artillery batteries, and infantry along its border with Israel. Simultaneously, to the south, the Egyptian Army cancelled all leaves, called up thousands of reservists, and launched a massive military exercise, building roads and preparing anti-aircraft and artillery positions along the Suez Canal.

Armenia excels at chess. Its top player now has a shot at becoming world champion. How did this tiny country become a giant at the game?
Head Case: Can psychiatry be a science?
You go see a doctor. The doctor hears your story and prescribes an antidepressant. Do you take it?
However you go about making this decision, do not read the psychiatric literature. Everything in it, from the science (do the meds really work?) to the metaphysics (is depression really a disease?), will confuse you.
The Distant Executioner
During World War II, snipers were seen as a spooky, merciless “Murder Inc.” by other soldiers—the brutal intimacy of their kills made them a breed apart. But in Afghanistan, where avoiding civilian deaths is a top priority, U.S. military sharpshooters may have found the war that needs them most. Going inside the world of Texas Army National Guardsman “Russ Crane,” who has dropped a Taliban fighter at 806 meters, the author discovers the sniper’s special talents and torments, and why it helps, in Crane’s view, to have God on your side.
Death Becomes Him
Over the past decade, Ludwig Minelli has helped more than 1,000 people kill themselves and has turned Zurich into the undisputed world capital of assisted suicide. Minelli sees himself as a crusader for what he calls “the last human right”—and he believes that helping more and more people to die advances his cause. Even if you believe in an absolute right to die on your own terms, how far is too far in the quest to secure that right?
The Marketing of No Marketing
Pabst Blue Ribbon -- P.B.R., as fans call it -- is currently enjoying a highly unlikely comeback. In 2002, sales of the beer, which had been sinking steadily since the 1970's, actually rose 5.3 percent. From the start of 2003 through April 20, supermarket beer sales are up another 9.4 percent. It is endorsed in ''The Hipster Handbook,'' a paperback dissection of cool, and is popping up in trendy bars from the Mission District to the Lower East Side. Sales in Chicago are up 134 percent.

When it is mature, the male's digestive system degenerates, making him incapable of feeding independently, which necessitates his quickly finding a female to prevent his death. The sensitive olfactory organs help the male to detect the pheromones that signal the proximity of a female.
When he finds a female, he bites into her skin, and releases an enzyme that digests the skin of his mouth and her body, fusing the pair down to the blood-vessel level.
The male then atrophies into nothing more than a pair of gonads, which releases sperm in response to hormones in the female's bloodstream indicating egg release.
This extreme sexual dimorphism ensures that, when the female is ready to spawn, she has a mate immediately available.
