no penetration, and the angle for the machete part was different. I'm telling you, look up the trailer on youtube. It's a legit movie with solid production values, story, etc. Nowhere near snuff film territory

I agree. Serbian Film is worth a watch

The poker room where I work has gotten away from classic rock over the PA, and has been playing more current music.

Three days now. I just want to hang myself. Seriously, I now understand the sudden spike in teen suicides. This music isn't happy, isn't fun at all. Not just the lyrics, which you can't decipher any way. The whole tone, the "palette", so to speak, the screaming, the plodding guitar on the rock songs, I just lose all my enthusiasm when this music plays.

One day, they were alternating 60s music and current hits, one of each, back and forth. I didn't hear a single current song that made me think, "This is a good song, they'll be playing this in a poker room 40 years from now."

Apologies if this has been posted already, but there are some real gems here:

My favorite:

1995: A 39-year-old man committed suicide in Canberra, Australia by shooting himself three times with a pump action shotgun. The first shot passed through his chest, but missed all of the vital organs. He reloaded and shot away his throat and part of his jaw. Breathing through the throat wound, he again reloaded, held the gun against his chest with his hands and operated the trigger with his toes. This shot entered the thoracic cavity and demolished the heart, killing him.[150] sure he did.....

The historical importance of the map lies in its demonstration of the extent of exploration of the New World by approximately 1510, perhaps before others.

Pretty wild

"2009: Sergey Tuganov, a 28-year-old Russian, bet two women that he could continuously have sex with them both for twelve hours."

Best freeroll ever. I now declare this a "Tuganov Bet"

I think Tuganov was tired from tuggin' off.

Velvalee Dickinson (born October 12, 1893 - died ca. 1980), was convicted of espionage against the United States on behalf of Japan during World War II. Known as the "Doll Woman"... In February 1942, a letter was brought to the attention of the FBI... supposedly from a woman in Portland, Oregon to a correspondent in Buenos Aires, discussed a "wonderful doll hospital" and noted that the writer had sent the correspondent "three Old English dolls" for repairs. The letter also mentioned references to "fish nets" and "balloons". FBI cryptographers examined the letter, concluding that the "dolls" in question were likely three warships and the "doll hospital" was a West Coast-based shipyard where repairs were made, while the "fishing nets" and "balloons" passed information about coastal defenses and other critical information on the West Coast...

Taken at face value this sounds like a grown woman drowning in a bath tub.

I thought it sounded more like an old woman who died after falling into a recycling bin.

You gotta read between the lines.

any thoughts on that?

my thoughts are that the military crap should go into its own thread since probably well above 80% of the readers are sick of it and have no interest in some small military knowledge of one of the millions of US ARMY regimens. Also every military post seems to be the same.

I get the hero military dog link and stuff but those bland schemes or medal giving pages are just tilting for the average peron.

Me too. I wonder if these guys are dropping sheets of acid before they start brainstorming these ideas.

This, my friends, is why you don't drink and derive.

It is definitely tough to skip the links you don't find interesting.
