MSNBC today - Scientists say sex-starved flies drown their woes in alcohol
Male flies blown off by the ladies turn to drink; study may shed light on human alcoholism

(The flies) were put into a container with a female that had just mated. So she was really, really not interested in doing it again anytime soon. She would run away. She would kick the male. She would stick out her egg-laying organ to hold him at bay.

The male flies went through three hourlong sessions of this every day for four days, enough rejection to discourage them from trying any more.

After that experience, rejected flies were put in vials and given a choice of regular food or alcohol-laced food. They consistently went for the alcohol more than did the male flies that had just mated. In fact, they evidently got plastered.

Some rejected males were moved to a different environment, where groups of guys mingled with receptive females. After the guys had sex, their yen for alcohol declined.

The researchers also paired thousands of other male flies with dead virgin females, so that they didn’t experience rejection but didn’t have sex either. They still hit the sauce.

What’s going on here?

Answer: Scientists are sadists! And they're probably female scientists at that!

I am reminded of an old Far Side/Larson cartoon: Imagine two red-necked alligators with ball caps, one sitting in a recliner relaxing with his feet and tail propped up, hand on an ice-cold beer with a startled look in his eye! :shock: ...and the other at the kitchen table geeked out with thick glasses reading the newspaper. The caption below says “Alligator Horiscopes” with the geeked speaking says “OK, here’s yours: 'You will not mate this season, maybe next. Poaching figures big…'”

O' the pain... <reaching for another pint> KF

The real question is can flies masturbate? It they can't find relief then the comparison between them and humans is a much poorer one.

This could only from NPR - LSD Gets Another Look As Alcoholism Treatment

NPR said:
The past studies randomly assigned patients to get a strong dose of LSD or something else (another drug, such as amphetamine, a low dose of LSD or nothing special). And the results provide evidence for a beneficial effect on abstinence from alcohol.

Believe it or not, the very first to propose LSD as an alternative to drinking was Bill W. of A.A. fame. Yes, THAT Bill W. Somewhere around 22 years after he'd had his last drink, he became one of the subjects of Betty Eisner's experiments, at the urging of Gerald Heard he was using the prescription brand name version, Delysid, (The one that started it all) alongside Adolus Huxley, author of 'Brave New World' ("Soma Holiday," eh?) and of course 'The Doors of Perception.' (Can't leave THAT out, eh?) At the time it was actually believed that these people were SMARTER while using LSD.

Bill W. would continue to extoll on the virtues of LSD for alcoholics the remaining years of his life without ever taking a drink. (Although towards the end he took to demanding whiskey, which was never provided.) At the moment John F. Kennedy was shot, the dying Huxley was already shot full of LSD, still a prescription drug at that time; beginning the movement to keep the terminally ill in a "Psychotomimetic" (Mimicking Psychotic) state. (Although LSD is no longer considered psychotomimetic.)

LSD to cure alcoholism? I'm glad I'm not an alcoholic. You take LSD once, you're on it the rest of your life. You touch it and it's absorbed thru your skin. I'm actually glad that the REAL research has uniformly proven that LSD has NO beneficial effects on anyone, it's as much a humbug as Latrile, (Also known as Cyanide) Nessie of Loch Ness and the EV1. But that's never stopped people from pushing a placebo they see as a good time, eh? In California we have medical marijuana, you can buy it from anyone who lied to get a prescription. That's what they DO with a lot of their "Meds." The guy who wrote the "Medical Marijuana" ballot initiative was caught by a '60 Minutes' hidden camera saying the whole thing was just a stepping stong to legalizing it altogether, OF COURSE he realized it had no medical value. . . .

(Now THAT is WEIRD, eh?)

I'm just curious, are you retarded?

Its just rare to see this much drug-related BS spew'ed outside of a government sponsored propaganda website.
 
Marijuana has benefits that definitely outweigh the negatives for medical purposes. E.g. cancer patients. Also AIDS patients.

I think it should be looked upon as something that can have uses and I think prescriptions are a good "stepping stone" measure.

I will go far as to say that I do not believe ANYONE should be placed behind bars if the sole reason is something to do with personal use of or possession of a reasonable amount of marijuana - e.g a couple pounds or less. It is ridiculous. I think more than that, and you are probably dealing which could trigger a taxation type crime. E.g. not paying any taxes on your weed sales.

That was ackwardly awesome! :lol:

  • OT: Funny that Anderson Cooper references Cinco de Mayo as the next "drinking" holiday: We were discussing this in the pub recently and I had always thought it was the celebration of Mexico's Independence (September 16, 1810) when in fact it marks the Mexican army's unlikely victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. The people of Mexico don’t celebrate Cinco de Mayo, but we do in the United States! Go figure? :?

    Piqued by having quite recently reviewed the U.S. Civil War I took it upon myself to do a bit more reading and can now see why we celebrate Cinco de Mayo: Supposedly no country in the Americas has been invaded by any other European military force. France at the time was supporting the South and indirectly against the North during the War, thus loosing this battle provided moral victory for Mexican forces that ultimately changed the supply line to the South which allowed for the North to gather forces. That subsequent shift in the balance of power mauled the South at Gettysburg. We celebrate Cinco de Mayo because it shortened the War and allowed the North to win. Now it makes sense.

The origin of drinking holidays it seems is both interesting and peculiar.

Thanks for that! KF
 
there was the small matter of the british invasion and sacking of washington during the war of 1812. now why can't you have a drinking holiday for the day they burned the white house?

Users are often highly annoying to non-users. You might feel empathy when you're on it and want to come give me a hug so you can ride the wave, or whatever, but I'm likely to kick your ass if you touch me. Come at me talking all loud and acting all high and I might have to punch you in the ear, just to bring you back to reality for a moment.

My brother dabbled in it for about a year, and he was to the point that while we were celebrating his father's birthday, my brother went to the bathroom to do some X...he doesn't remember that day at all, even though it should've been very memorable. Quitting was terrible as well; he was an absolute fucktard and sociopath - X doesn't necessarily have a lasting empathetic effect...

...and a lot of the "MDMA" you get on the street is cut with crank/meth, and/or random 'supplements'. :|

MSNBC Today - Crow hitches a ride on the back of an eagle

AT-120416-crow-eagle-01.photoblog600.jpg


OK, not particularly weird though it is amusing. Contrary to the article, in Washington State, eagles are harassed by crows acting en mass to upset the hunter. Eagles eat birds as easily as rabbits… and ankle-bitin’ schnauzers too.

So I find it a bit amusing that a crow would freely land on the back of an eagle ‘cos they’re pallies… and I think it has more to do with desensitization by the king of raptors and freeloader tolerance – however annoying.

On second thought, it could be his magpie mistress... talk about hen-pecked! "CRAAW!! Where's the ring? Git me my dinner! CRAAW!"

Helen Keller sunglasses create a stir

biz-120424-hellenkeller.photoblog500.jpg


MSNBC today...

Is it a smart thing to try and profit off of someone else’s tragedy?

One company seems to think so.

A Chinese fashion firm, Xiamen Jinzhi, has named a line of its sunglasses Helen Keller.

This is no marketing mistake, or lost in translation. A spokesman for the company, Chen Wenjing, told the Wall Street Journal, they were well aware Keller was blind, but saw merchandising value in her “philanthropist spirit.”

It appears Helen Keller is a famous figure Chinese children learn about in school, according to the article. But maybe the fashion company’s marketing team didn’t pay attention when the course was taught. On the company’s Helen Keller sunglasses website, someone seems to have picked up a reference about Helen Keller from Wikipedia, “Helen Keller: She was the first deaf-blind person to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree.”

The company even produced an ad for the HK glasses, including paparazzi and a model donning the specs. When she puts on the glasses, the paparazzi go wild, and the promo promises: “You see the world, the world sees you.”

Can you imagine if we lived in 1920s America, where alcohol was prohibited (as it was then, but just like drugs now it was freely available, just in bad unknown quality for high prices all going to organised criminals), and someone on a thread posted that they felt alcohol was harmless (which I don't think it is, I think it is one of the greatest poisons known to man) and a person's choice, and then rather than posting that alcohol is considered to be a factor in over half of the world's murders (which it is), I posted this:

"Alcohol isn't as harmless as safe as you make it out to be. Drunks are often highly annoying to other people. You might think you are being funny and having a good time screaming at the TV in the sports bar with me, but once I get sick of your mindless slurring nonsense, I will come over and punch your teeth out. My brother was a drunk, and once on my father's birthday he drank too much beer and abused my father. It was meant to be a special day but he doesn't remember it. He went into rehab to get over his alcoholism, it was really hard for him. And by the way, most of the time he wasn't even drinking ethanol, it was mostly methanol tinged with anti-freeze, because alcohol is illegal." Therefore Alcohol is really dangerous and should be banned. WTF?

Anyway, back to planet earth, and here is my story. I have been following this story very closely since it broke yesterday, there was a neighbourhood dispute in Western Sydney, basically over loud music, that lead to a guy getting his arm (nearly) cutoff with a chainsaw, and a guy getting his finger severed with a samurai sword. And tonight, the victim (of the chainsaw), announced: "I'd do it all again!" [Can I suggest that perhaps the victims were drinking, and not rolling on pingers? just a thought....]


I'd do it all again, says victim of chainsaw stoush from hospital

"I don't fight with weapons" ... Mark Jorgensen.

HE IS lucky to have his right arm, partially severed by a chainsaw in an alleged altercation with his neighbour, but Mark Jorgensen says he would do it all again.

''Thanks to everyone for the wishes,'' he posted on his Facebook page from his Liverpool Hospital bed, ''anyone who knows me knows i dont fight with weopens. id do it all again to protect my family or friends.''

Mr Jorgensen, 29, had extensive surgery to reattach his right arm after a neighbourhood dispute turned violent at Minto on Tuesday night. The man carrying the chainsaw, Troy Thornton, 26, lost his ring finger in the feud that began over loud music.

His sister, Nicole Thornton, said yesterday Mr Jorgensen was not carrying a weapon but someone still attacked her brother. She said she had moved her family from their Minto home to avoid any further conflict.

Reuters: UN official: US must return control of sacred lands to Native Americans

The United States must do more to heal the wounds of indigenous peoples caused by more than a century of oppression, including restoring control over lands Native Americans consider to be sacred, according to a U.N. human rights investigator.

James Anaya, the U.N. special rapporteur on the rights of indigenous peoples, just completed a 12-day visit to the United States where he met with representatives of indigenous peoples in the District of Columbia, Arizona, Alaska, Oregon, Washington State, South Dakota, and Oklahoma. He also met with U.S. government officials.

"I have heard stories that make evident the profound hurt that indigenous peoples continue to feel because of the history of oppression they have faced," Anaya said in a statement issued by the U.N. human rights office in Geneva Friday.

That oppression, he said, has included the seizure of lands and resources, the removal of children from their families and communities, the loss of languages, violation of treaties, and brutality, all grounded in racial discrimination.

Anaya welcomed the U.S. decision to endorse the U.N. Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples in 2010 and other steps the government has taken, but said more was needed.

You know, I think they are right; we should return the sacred lands back to the Indians, and let’s start with that plot of land that the UN Building sits upon.

Phosphorous may have been on hot beach rocks in CA

May 17, 7:03 PM (ET)

By ROBERT JABLON

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Beach rocks that caused a California woman's shorts to catch fire and severely burn her legs and hands appeared to be coated with phosphorus, but it was unclear how the flammable chemical got onto the stones found near a military base, authorities said Thursday.
"We have never been aware of anything like this before," said Denise Fennessy, assistant director of Orange County's environmental health division.
Field tests indicated the phosphorus was found on two rocks from San Onofre State Beach that will be submitted to a state-certified laboratory for verification, Fennessy said.
A naturally occurring mineral, phosphorus is found in oxidized form in rocks, but in its pure elemental form can burn when exposed to air. Phosphorous compounds are used in everything from flares to fertilizer.
Coast Guard and fire officials, however, said they never heard of local beach rocks igniting.
"I spoke directly to the paramedic on the call," said Capt. Marc Stone of the Orange County Fire Authority. "He's worked 27 years as a paramedic and specifically on the beach areas, and it's the first time he's ever seen anything like this."
The beach where the rocks were found is near the Camp Pendleton Marine base and an offshore island used as a live firing range. A nuclear power plant is also in the vicinity.
Camp Pendleton spokesman Capt. Barry Edwards said there was no evidence that military training aids were involved in the discovery, but the base will cooperate with investigators if asked.
Five other rocks became cross-contaminated with the substance, possibly when the chemical reaction occurred, Fennessy said.
The children of the 43-year-old woman who was injured collected the seven rocks Saturday from San Onofre State Beach near the border of Orange and San Diego counties, a popular surfing beach nicknamed Trestles for its location near a railroad bridge.
The children took the rocks home. Hours later, the woman, whose name was not released, scooped them up from the floor of her San Clemente home and put them in the pocket of her cargo shorts, where they either caught fire or became hot enough to set fire to her clothing, Stone said.
The rocks were small and smooth. One was greenish in color and another had rusty orange streaks, Stone said.
"She actually had flames coming off of her shorts," he said. "She did a stop, drop and roll maneuver ... that was unsuccessful because of the amount of heat coming out of her pocket."
The smoke set off smoke alarms and firefighters arrived to find her husband hosing her down with a garden hose to cool off her burns.
She suffered third-degree burns to her leg, and she and her husband had second-degree burns to their right hands from trying to get the rocks out of the pocket, Stone said. The woman remained hospitalized.

Sorry, not exactly funny, but kinda weird:

Bicyclist impaled by tree on Lakeland Trail vows to ride again

Don’t count 50-year-old Thomas Mitchell out of the race.

The avid cyclist, diagnosed with lymphoma two years ago, was impaled on a tree last weekend while biking, but he vows to someday again participate in the 100-mile plus charity bike races he’s finished in the past.

Thomas Mitchell was on a leisurely bike ride with his 20-year-old daughter, Kaitlyn, near his home in Hamburg Township when he accidently rode into a downed tree that pierced his abdomen.

The two were riding together on Lakeland Trail, between Merrill Road and the bridge over the Huron River, at about 5:50 p.m. Saturday.

Thomas Mitchell had already completed his strenuous training earlier that day. Now, it was just dad and daughter on an easy ride.

“It was a very wide path,” Kaitlyn recalled.

Her father still rode his mountain bike despite the path being paved. The area is wooded, with the Huron River about 500 feet away. A tree had fallen parallel to the bike trail and was partially sticking out into it.

Thomas Mitchell didn’t notice it.

“His glasses were foggy and he didn’t see it,” Kaitlyn said. She saw the tree and the fact he wasn’t turning away from it. She started to say something to her father, but it was too late.

Thomas Mitchell rode right into the tree.

“It impaled him in the lower abdomen,” Kaitlyn said. “The top of the tree broke off. Six feet of the tree was sticking out of him. He ripped it out immediately.”

Kaitlyn said they both knew he shouldn’t have removed the branch, but that he did so out of shock, something she also was experiencing.

“He was lying there on the trail with the bloody branch next to him,” she said. “It looked horrible. It was really dramatic and horrifying.”

There were two six-inch cuts in the abdomen near his hip and upper thigh. Kaitlyn didn’t have a cellphone, but a man jogging toward them stopped to help after seeing the severity of the situation.

The jogger made a compress out of his shirt and applied pressure to the wound while Kaitlyn went to find help. She found some fishermen by the river who let her borrow a cellphone so she could call 911.

Hamburg Township police and fire officials soon arrived, as did an ambulance that transported Thomas to U-M Hospital.

There was no room for Kaitlyn in the ambulance, so she had to ride her bike home and then drive herself to the hospital.

At the hospital, Thomas underwent about five hours of surgery. Doctors removed all the stick debris, as well as about eight inches of his intestines. He also suffered a broken tailbone.

He narrowly missed death.

“The branch missed his main artery by millimeters,” Kaitlyn said.

Thomas Mitchell is currently in the hospital being monitored for infections. He’s expected to remain there for another eight to 10 days.

Still, he remains optimistic about someday returning to the charity bike rides he’s done in the past. At the time of his injury, he was training for the Viva Bike Vegas Grad Fondo, a 118-mile road bike ride through Las Vegas and the surrounding desert in September. He’s done a similar race in the Lake Tahoe area.

Thomas, a salesman for a pharmaceutical company, raises about $3,000 every year for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's Team in Training.

He was diagnosed with chronic lymphoma about two years and had a lump removed, but is not currently being treated, according to his daughter.

Thomas isn’t giving up, though.
“Don’t count me out of this ride,” he said via email from U-M Hospital.“(It) will take a slow recovery, but (I) will be back on the saddle.”

'First Amendment rights can be terminated': When cops, cameras don't mix

"Your First Amendment rights can be terminated," yells the Chicago police officer, caught on video right before arresting two journalists outside a Chicago hospital. One, an NBC News photographer, was led away in handcuffs essentially for taking pictures in a public place. He was released only minutes later, but the damage was done. Chicago cops suffered an embarrassing "caught on tape" moment, and civil rights experts who say cops are unfairly cracking down on citizens with cameras had their iconic moment.

The cat lives in "Lovers Lane" . :lol:

BRIDGEPORT -- Police said they arrested a Monroe man who struck a local woman with his car and kept driving as she frantically tried to get loose from his fender.

Frank Rega, 56, of Lovers Lane, Monroe, was charged with first-degree reckless endangerment, reckless driving, evading responsibility and driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol. He was released after posting a $500 bond.

According to police, on March 15 a 23-year-old city woman was standing outside a disabled car on Stratford Avenue when she was struck by a van driven by Rega.

Police said the woman became stuck on the driver's side fender of the van but Rega continued to drive off with her hanging over the front of the vehicle. They said the woman frantically yelled for Rega to stop but he ignored her. Even after she began hitting him in the face, police said Rega refused to stop.

Eventually, police said the woman fell off, striking her head in the roadway. Rega drove away, they said.
The woman was treated at St. Vincent's Medical Center for her injuries.

Later that day Monroe police confronted Rega at his home. They said Rega smelled strongly of alcohol and failed a field sobriety test.
Police said as they were handcuffing Rega he told them he had acted in self defense.

'Fed up' mom allegedly throws 2 sons off 15th floor balcony
Published June 26, 2012
NewsCore
MOSCOW – A Russian mother told witnesses she threw her two young sons to their deaths from a 15th-floor balcony because she was "fed up" with them, RT News reported Monday.
Galina Ryabkova, 30, allegedly tossed her sons, ages 4 and 7, from the Moscow apartment building where she lived with her husband.
Ryabkova reportedly later told witnesses she was "fed up with children" and "decided to get rid of them."
Stunned neighbors were alerted to the horrific incident when they heard the thump of the children's bodies hitting the ground.
"I was standing near the window and heard a loud smack," resident Tatiana Gumanyova told Life News. "I did not pay attention, [and] thought that the child just stumbled and fell. But then I heard one more smack."
Another unnamed resident said, "My wife woke me up and said that there were children falling out. We ran out and saw two children lying on the ground in front of the main door. Just at that time their mother was leaving the building. We asked her if these were her children and she replied, emotionlessly, 'Yes, I threw them away.'"
Ryabkova was said to be calm before police arrived, although she resisted slightly when they arrested her.
She later told investigators that her children were now "angels in heaven," RIA Novosti reported.
Investigations are continuing.
