Current Events/Interesting Articles Thread

[Lunchebox]

I noticed that every time there was an interesting article, there'd be a thread about it. Here's one thread to rule them all.

My contribution:

Impoverished Surfer Comes Up with Workable Unified Theory of Physics

[ASR]

That made me smile. I'll look at it more later, but I skimmed through.

[Johncarllos]

Already know all about it.
Very cool.

[Lunchebox]

You already knew about it because I posted this at Tewisel's board last week.

[Johncarllos]

Yup.

[Chron]

To clarify, the surfer does have a PhD in theoretical physics.

But it's an awesome theory, which is based on some really simple, elegant things (okay, simple in how it fits together, but it's really hugely complex).

[Johncarllos]

A current event is that in a mere 18 hours, we have gotten 47 members, had 30 online at once at 3AM last night, made over 1100 posts, and already started a comic jam and contest.

Yay us.

[Vinchenz Rock]

I post in a forum called Current Events.

It's not about Current Events. And anyone who goes there is called a CEman.

Just thought I'd like to share that. >_>

[Orange Devil]

I just had some toast with peanut butter on it.

Ontario Woman. Rampage. Samurai Swords.

Epic lulz ensured.

[Chron]

Usually you hear about that sort of thing happening in the Southern US (don't get upset, kids, I live there myself).

Looks like her counter didn't work :\

Oh man. All the awesome is happening around here lately.

I want a samurai sword.

[ASR]

Ha, the bottom thread in the AOB section? I've got to revive it for this:

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080118/ap_on_re_us/child_dead_overpass

This is sick. I want to know more about that guy, he seems certifiably insane.

[Xero]

He did it for the lulz.

But yeah it's all kinds of wrong.

[ChaosVortex]

That reminds me when I heard some guy was babysitting. He couldn't get the kid to shut up so he took a bat and beat him to death.

[Mikero]

Yep. That seems logical.

[ChaosVortex]

Yup. It won't stop. Humanity will always find new ways to show off how retarded we are.

[Vinchenz Rock]

That guy was like, five years old, BTW.

[preventerWIND]

That guy was like, five years old, BTW.

The babysitter? Well who would leave a 5 year old to babysit!? #####tards.

[ChaosVortex]

I don't think he was 5-years from what I heard, but the kid he beat was a baby that wouldn't stop crying. He was watching TV while the baby was crying, so he took a bat, busted it's brains out, then went back to watching his program.

It's sick.

There's another one I read in the local newspaper. Some guy was arrested for animal cruelty. He took his cat, cut off it's tail, microwaved it, and ate it.

HOWEVER, there was a comical side to this story...

[spoiler]The cat's name was Cocoa.[/spoiler]

[preventerWIND]

I don't get it, so I'm still stuck in WTF mode.

[ChaosVortex]

Probably what happens when you're Cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs and you're all out of Puffs.

Best way to give PETA members a fit, I hope they rot in Hell and get a taste of some real hellhounds, HOWZ UR ETHICAL TREATMENT GOING DOWN THERE HUH?

[Mikero]

There's nothing wrong with not treating animals like #####, but PETA goes too far too often.

[Johncarllos]

PETA would get pissed if I killed a dog that bit me.

[Mikero]

Well if a dog bites you that's one thing but if it bites you because it's rabid that's another.

[Voulnet]

PETA idiots don't have a problem with sending a man to jail, leaving his family and kids alone, because he 'neglected' his dog, a dog that has natural survival instincts. WTF
Yeah, and you don't see PETA helping in African famines. In fact, their twisted minds tell them they shouldn't slaughter cattle to feed poor hungry people in major starvations. Slaughter a cow? a #####ing cow? They'd rather see a family die.
#####ing wannabe high class elitists.
Here is a real quote: "Even if animal tests produced a cure for AIDS, we’d be against it."
— PETA president and co-founder Ingrid Newkirk, in the September 1989 issue of Vogue

[Mikero]

Yes, pbf rules.

And they know animals better than PETA!

[ChaosVortex]

lolz to the fourth power.
