lo and behold
Muammar al-Qadhafi has been described as both mercurial and eccentric, and our recent first-hand experiences with him and his office, primarily in preparation for his UNGA trip, demonstrated the truth of both characterizations. From the moment Qadhafi’s staff began to prepare for his travel to the United States, XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX of his 40-year rule, various proclivities and phobias began to reveal themselves in every logistical detail.

trip cu tigani
Revelion 2007-2008. 1 ianuarie, seara, am ramas fara droguri, mai erau cateva linii de speed. Ne hotaram sa luam niste Tantum Rosa, abia atunci auziem de el. Nu prea eram de acord, dar toata lumea baga, and peer pressure is a bitch. Asa ca bagam cate o linie de speed si cate un shot de whiskey + 2 plicuri tantum. N-am gustat ceva mai scarbos in viata mea. In vreo ora, primele efecte. Stateam de vorba, eu incepusem sa vad fractali pe pereti. "Grozav!", imi spun. Mai trec cateva minute, greata pune stapanire pe mine. Ma duc la baie, borasc in chiuveta. Ma uit in chiuveta, materialul vomitat se misca asemenea unor gandacei. Inca sunt constient ca halucinez, deci e ok. Ma intorc in sufragerie, la prieteni. Ma pun pe canapea, dupa cateva minute vad un cap de mort deasupra unei prietene, din clipa aceasta nu mai sunt constient ca halucinez. Ma gandesc ca acel cap de mort indica faptul ca prietena respectiva este o persoana rea, asa ca incep s-o tratez ca atare. Urmeaza o taiere de film. Next thing I remember, dupa cateva ore ii vad pe prieteni ca pe tigani. Imbracati ca tiganii, cu palarii, cu fuste inflorate, etc. Incep sa ma intreb oare ce cauta tiganii astia la mine in casa. Incep sa-i tratez ca pe niste tigani. Ei isi dau seama ca am fost luat de paranoia de la comedown-ul de speed, asa ca nu se supara. Stau, fumez o tigara, imi cade din mana, arde prin bluza, prin piele, nu simt nimic. Vede un amic, ia tigara, nu ma mai lasa sa fumez. Prietenii se pare ca nu erau asa afectati ca mine de tantum. Se hotarasc sa mai stea cu mine pana imi mai revin, sa nu-mi fac rau. Se apropie dimineata, si dau semne ca mai mi-am revenit, asa ca pleaca toata lumea. Intr-adevar, imi revenisem, dar la scurt timp am cazut iar in fanteziile paranoide, de data aceasta singur acasa. Mort de foame, ma duc in bucatarie sa-mi fac ceva de mancare. Nu suport feelingul din bucatarile, simt de parca ar fi o prezenta malefica acolo. Imi iau niste tripuri dubioase acolo care dureaza vreo ora, nu le tin bine minte dar erau FOARTE dubioase, cam aceasta era atmosfera lor. Ma trezesc si din tripul acesta, ma hotarasc sa-mi fac un dus. In baie, ma uit in oglinda si vad un tigan care-mi arata ca are si el blugi la fel ca ai mei. Ma spal, ma intorc in sufragerie. Se intorc 2 prieteni la mine sa vada daca sunt ok, se distreaza de minune cand vad ca-i avertizez sa faca liniste ca-i mama in vizita si de fapt nu era nimeni altcineva in casa. Pleaca. Incep sa vad oameni care se teleporteaza printr-o gaura imaginara in perete. Ma uit la un moment dat pe vizor la usa. Vad niste tigani, unul cu pistolul, batand in usa. Vroiau sa ma omoare. Ma panichez, sun pe sormea, fiind cea mai apropiata persoana de incredere, sa faca ceva, sa vina cu politia or something. Ea ma crede. Astept, dar tot nu vine. Nu mai am rabdare, sun la politie, spun ca-s niste oameni cu pistoale la usa. Intre timp ajunge si sor-mea, suna la usa, ii zic sa intre, ma intreaba unde-s tiganii. Ii spun ca probabil au plecat daca nu mai sunt, cine stie poate vroiau doar sa ma sperie. Ma crede. Dupa care o intreb "auzi, dar mai locuieste cineva la mine in casa? ca sunt niste tigani care se teleporteaza pe aici". Atunci si-a dat seama ca-s blana. Vine si politia. Imi mai revenisem intre timp. Spun politistilor ca au plecat pana la urma, noroc ca erau niste urme pe usa si le arat urmele spunand ca au dat cu picioarele in usa. Si de-atunci, mi-am revenit. Nu mai m-am atins de tantum niciodata.

surexcitarta supravietuirii urbane
Primarul Dorin Florea considera ca "oamenii sunt mai mult surexcitati" din cauza zvonului ca in judet ar exista criminali deghizati in calugari care ar preleva organele copiilor. "Prostituatele sunt mai multe in Targu Mures. Oamenii sa stea linistiti", a spus primarul in cadrul unei conferinte de presa.
nimic nu distruge mai repede un calugar prelevator de organe decat o prostituata. when in danger, call a whore

late romantic
Carl Tanzler was a German-born radiologist who developed a morbid obsession for a young Cuban-American tuberculosis patient, Elena Milagro "Helen" de Hoyos, that carried on well after Hoyos succumbed to the disease. In 1933, almost two years after her death, Tanzler removed Hoyos's body from its tomb, and lived with the corpse at his home for seven years until its discovery by Hoyos's relatives and authorities in 1940.
[...]
The public mood was generally sympathetic to Tanzler, whom many viewed as an eccentric "romantic".

turpitudinea ditirambiilor monstruosi
Adrian Păunescu a fost, într-adevăr, un jet meteo, o volbură hipnotică pe fundalul spectralităţii ceauşiste. Avea o robusteţe flămândă şi un temperament de shogun mistic. Fascinat de blazonul hiperbolei şi muncit de o glandă exaltantă, omul dispăruse, pentru mulţi, în efervescenţa de cometă, în patetismul efuziv livrate stadioanelor arhipline. Prin carură, prin amestecul de baroc şi jurasic al apariţiilor sale, Păunescu reuşea să fenteze minima vigilenţă morală a multor conaţionali de bun-simţ. Turpitudinea era evacuată la periferiile atenţiei, iar tămâierile politice căpătau un „ce” venial, o boare de şotron diplomatic în compania Diavolului. Insistând pe ADN-ul stihial, pe capitalul de vitalitate impersonală, debordantă ale lui Adrian Păunescu, mă tem că ne alegem cu un fals sau - ne soyons pas trop sévères - cu jumătate de adevăr. Omul a fost 'mereu acasă', ca să spun aşa. Ştia foarte bine că preţul notorietăţii spumoase e maratonul encomiastic, prostituţia euforică. Nu cred că l-a iubit cu adevărat, nici măcar pentru o clipă, pe Ceauşescu. Însă apetitul enorm pentru ovaţii, apoteoză şi efigie au dictat unica strategie de ascensiune: ditirambii. Pentru a-şi adjudeca, pofticios mesianic, sufletele generaţiei în blugi, Răul trebuia curtat şi răzgâiat cu maximă umezeală. Păunescu a fost un „fenomen” al naturii... umane.

is teh water comfy for thee, mr lobster sir?
Instead of having one, big central mass of neurons—i.e., the brain—lobsters spread their thinking around their bodies in several smaller masses, called ganglia.
"Every segment has its own little brain doing its own thing," says Basil. Which is why, she says, it's better to boil the lobster and kill all those mini-brains at once. "Cutting it up just creates two uncomfortable lobsters."

if you are to fall, at least make sure you fall from an impressive height
The couloir owed its name to a swashbuckling Italian climber, Giusto Gervasutti, who had made the first successful ascent of the canyon, in 1934. Not incidentally, Gervasutti later offered a definitive answer to the Mallory Question, Why do you want to climb:
The need is completely different for each individual.... It may take the form of a need to live heroically, or to rebel against restraint and limitation: an escape from the restricting circle of daily life, a protest against being submerged in universal drabness, an affirmation of the freedom of the spirit in dangerous and splendid adventure. Or it may well be the pleasure of physical fitness and moral energy, elegance of style and calculated daring; ordeals gaily faced with friends themselves as firm as rock, the hard life of the high huts, the happy relaxation on remote pastures as one smokes a pipe or sings mountain songs. It may be the search for an intense aesthetic experience, for exquisite sensations, or for man’s never satisfied desire for unknown country to explore, new paths to make. Best of all, it should be all these things together.
Gervasutti’s words were published posthumously, in 1947, one year after he plummeted off Mont Blanc du Tacul.

Inside the Holy See is a painting depicting the Three Saints [1] signing a covenant between God and humanity. From left to right, they are Sun Yat-sen, Victor Hugo and Nguyễn Bỉnh Khiêm.

Among the concerns, Keith Richards appears to detail how to safely get stoned: Use ‘high-quality drugs’ in moderation!
Retroactive prophesizing/active curse.
The authorities do not know exactly how many people have been killed warbling “My Way” in karaoke bars over the years in the Philippines, or how many fatal fights it has fueled. But the news media have recorded at least half a dozen victims in the past decade and includes them in a subcategory of crime dubbed the “My Way Killings.”
