Bob. Ted, and Larry are computer programmers who decided to have a race to see who is fastest. Ted came in 1st and Larry came in 10th.
Back in the days of old, women would go to the doctor to be treated for "hysteria". The doctor would then use a hand-powered masturbation device to provide relief for the poor women. [The vibrator was invented to give the poor docs a break; so they didn't have to give handjobs] https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/all-about-sex/201303/hysteria-and-the-strange-history-vibrators I can relate... to all of it!
Did lightning influence how our brains work? There are a set of very-low-frequency radio waves that oscillate around the planet in the earth's ionosphere. These waves are created by lightning strikes all over the planet. Each stroke of lightning is like a hammer striking a bell and causes the earths ionosphere to ring electromagnetically, just as a bell rings mechanically. The frequencies produced are a function of the circumference of the planet, and are called the Schumann Resonant Frequencies. The Schumann frequencies start at about 7.8 Hz, with harmonics of that with some slight variation due to complex physics, so about 14, 21, 27, and 34 Hz. But the base frequency - the fundamental - is about 7.8 Hz. As it turns about, These match very closely with EEG brainwave frequencies, beginning at 3 Hz, then about 7.5 to 14 Hrs, and so on. In fact, if our brains were half-wave oscillators, which is precisely how it might seem to be acting, typical of how radio antennas work, is precisely what we could expect with the fundamental Schumann frequency. In others words, our brains are ringing like a bell at the right frequencies. Even though the field strength of the Schumann resonances is minuscule, as we know, oscillators can experience what is called sympathetic resonance, and tend to synchronize over time. So one has to wonder if our brains evolved to resonate with the heartbeat of the planet.
This is an example of how very small signals can cause oscillators to sync up. http://www.livescience.com/51644-why-pendulum-clocks-sync-up.html
I was wondering about the trivia of trivia Do You Know The Answers To The 17 Most Famous Trivia Questions? http://www.playbuzz.com/calypsokofa...nswers-to-the-17-most-famous-trivia-questions
That's why women never ate apples. Doesn't that make every doctor from those times who "treated" women for hysteria, a male prostitute?
Jeff Goldblum passed on the chance to be the voice of Siri. Apparently he didn't take it seriously. At least, so it was reported on the radio today.
It was so cold once in Siberia, that you could not light a match - the friction couldn't generate enough heat to light the match over the cold. Talk about screwed...
It once got so cold so fast that a pond froze with the ducks still in it. Then they flew away with the pond. I tried ice fishing once. Didn't like it. By the time I cut the hole in the ice for the boat, I was too tired to fish.
I know. But it reminded me of cold jokes. Truth: I've heard of it being so cold that if you pee outside, it freezes before it hits the ground.
All I know is one night on the way home in a snowstorm some tractor-trailers jacknifed and there was an immense traffic jam. It was cold and I had to pee. I went outside (twice) and got behind the trailer of a tractor-trailer and when the cold hit as I got ready to pee, I couldn't!!! Eventually made it home. I hate severe cold.
An erotic cabinet, ordered by Catherine the Great, seems to have been adjacent to her suite of rooms in Gatchina. The furniture was highly eccentric with tables that had large penises for legs. Penises and vulvas were carved out on the furniture. The walls were covered in erotic art. Some erotic artifacts from Pompeii were even brought into Russia to augment this collection.There was also a statue of a naked woman and a naked man in the erotic cabinet. There are photographs of this room and a Russian eye-witness has described the interior but the Russian authorities have always been very secretive about this peculiar Czarist heritage. The rooms and the furniture were seen in 1941 by two Wehrmacht officers but they seem to have vanished since then. However, investigators are looking into the possibility of locating these lost rooms with black lights.[9][10] A documentary by Peter Woditsch suggests that the cabinet was in the Peterhof Palace and not in Gatchina.[11] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legends_of_Catherine_the_Great I once read that the original motivation for long table cloths was to hide the legs, for fear that they may cause men to get aroused. No kidding! Those poor guys must have been insanely deprived and horny.
On the space station, urine and gray water is recycled and purified. But solid waste is jettisoned and burns up in the atmosphere like a meteor. So the next time you see a falling star, stop and ask yourself if the space station just went by.
My Russian father in law likes it. But, he likes food too. BTW did you hear the one about the ice fisherman who caught 40 lbs of ice? Ya, that's a good one <Fargo voice> Moi r > g
