Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I could use some eyebrown maintenance myself. AND I tweeze every day. I have crazy eyebrows.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Cruel 1960s pscyhology experiments
The Guardian has an article about the "most bizarre tests ever conducted in name of scientific inquiry."
My favorite involved 10 soldiers who went on a supposedly routine airplane flight in California in the 1960s. After a while, the plane started falling and the pilot announced they were about to crash.
While the soldiers faced almost certain death, a steward handed out insurance forms and asked the men to complete them, explaining it was necessary for the army to be covered if they died.
Little did the soldiers know they were completely safe. It was merely an experiment to find out how extreme stress affects cognitive ability, the forms serving as the test. Once the final soldier had completed his form the pilot announced: "Just kidding about that emergency folks!"
A later attempt to repeat the experiment with a new group of unwitting volunteers was ruined by one of the previous soldiers, who had penned a warning on a sickbag.
That's fucked up.

I thought you were going to say that they broke the airplane in half and crashed it on an island.

And that even though it was a three hour flight any number of them brought complete wardrobes and one guy had a big trunk full of money.

They just learned the lessons of the "three hour cruise" on Gilligan's Island - "Take enough stuff for five seasons."

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I gotta admit, while angry babies CAN be distressing when it goes on and on and on, a lot of the time, they are rather hilarious. It's like the toddler who screams "I hate you" because you won't let them gorge themselves on sugar. It wee will!
