wtf, CNN.com

I saw that story on CNN when I was home sick this week, didn't even occur to me to look for it on the site

Thomas Jefferson famously wrote about the wall of separation between church and state. He didn't mention separating church and politics, but everybody knows that's a sticky wicket, expecially as 2012 approaches.

Why I orgasmed in an MRI scanner

um

I think we can come up with much better reasons than "I was doing it for research"

so orgasm is officially a verb now is it that can be past tensed

her boyfriend was running the MRI machine and its his fetish to pleasure himself to images of women's brains taken as they're stimulating themselves.

To Nestlé’s amazing good fortune, the word Kit Kat sounds similar to the Japanese phrase “Kitto Katsu”, which roughly translates to mean “surely win.” It’s a term of good luck often used by students before their exams, but to Nestle it has sounded more like “Ka-ching!”

hahahaa

10-foot beehive a 'mountain of hell'

"mountain" is a bit of a misnomer. it was in somebody's exterior wall. It was pretty big, but maybe not actually cable news big.

this was the best shot they got of it in the whole thing.

the guy is standing on a ladder, but still.

That is a headline crying out to be turned into a song

It's only a mountain of hell if you don't like bees!

She has a deep, abiding faith in God, who she believes has guided her through the experience -- and others that have shaped her life.

"You have to have faith," she said. "If God brought me this far, he's not going to leave me now."

That whole story blows my mind. Usually open secrets among family members are along the lines of my uncle who occasionally partook in the drink. I'd love to hear the rationale behind the relatives who decided to just not say a word.

that is some dark shit

oh my god

Spruill met and married her husband-father

http://www.ohio.com/news/local/bob-dyer-one-twisted-family-tree-woman-finds-out-late-husband-was-also-her-father-1.332813

For years, she overheard odd whispers she couldn’t figure out. She finally learned the truth from an uncle not long after her husband/father’s death.

When asked to estimate how many people know about this, she laughs and says, “Half of Akron.” (lol...)

Spruill says she confirmed the relationship with a DNA test. And if anyone doubts it, she says, she still has plenty of his DNA: About five years ago, she found a hairbrush of his that somehow had become lodged under their dresser.

Now, I think it’s safe to say there aren’t a lot of support groups for people who marry their fathers. Fortunately, Spruill has been working with a therapist since she found out. She praises the therapist for helping her realize she did nothing wrong.

“I’ve been getting great help,” she says, “because, God knows, if I hadn’t of went and aired out how I feel, I wouldn’t have made it, because I would have continued to stress out about this problem.”

Still, the pain understandably persists. As she tells her tale to a writer whom she doesn’t know but says she trusts, an occasional drop of moisture slides down her dark brown skin toward a mouth that can’t seem to avoid curling upward in the corners even as she dredges up the most traumatic of memories. (tears?)

The man in question, Percy Spruill, died in April 1998 at the age of 60. Born in Mississippi, he worked in Akron as a truck driver and, later, as a parking-lot attendant at Morley Health Center.

He and Valerie’s mother hooked up when he was only 15.

We’re not sure how many offspring Percy Spruill helped produce, but at one point, apparently, he figured that one of them would be a suitable spouse.

Although Valerie says she is not 100 percent certain he knew, because he never talked about it, she strongly believes he was aware of the taboo he had committed but was simply afraid to tell her.

“And you have to see that blessing that God gave you and accept that hand. Because everybody’s dealt a hand, and it’s not always good and it’s not always bad. But if you live that hand that God gave you, it’s gonna be all right. It’s gonna be all right. Yes, it is.”

God is a benevolent prankster

I wonder if my parents knew this dude, he was only two years older than them...

"we were there to congratulate him when she was born and later when he married her"

" A woman and her daughter are in a car crash. The mother is killed and her daughter is taken to hospital gravely injured. When she gets there, the surgeon says, 'I can't operate on this woman - for she is my daughter!!!' How can this possibly be?"

The danger of 'spiritual, but not religious'
More and more people are rejecting formal religion for a hodge-podge approach to spirituality that stresses positive feelings. Alan Miller argues that such an attitude is a cop-out that avoids having to deal with important questions.

Important questions such as, "Was coexisting with the dinosaurs really as fun as it looked on The Flintstones?".

really this belongs on "well DUH, cnn.com"
