Products With Unintentionally Vulgar Sticker Placements 11 more products made unintentionally offensive by careless sticker placements. posted 12/20/2011 These stickers not only tell you the prices of products, but also how little attention is being paid by the people who put prices on products. As these examples show, all it takes is a few inadvertently obscured consonants or vowels to transform a wholesome tale of family life in the 19th century into a riveting drama about an underage prostitute being pimped out to pioneers by a ruthless Michael Landon. Let us know if you find any more of these out there, even if you're a store clerk who "accidentally" makes one yourself.

I took secret photos of my abortion to empower and educate women | Anonymous 'The abortion procedure itself, albeit uncomfortable, was straightforward and passed with ease.' Photograph: thisismyabortion.com Recently, I had an abortion, which I documented with a hidden mobile phone camera and then shared the images on the internet. I chronicled and published my experience on thisismyabortion.com to show what a safe abortion looks like, and to counter the perverse use of dead foetus images used by the anti-abortion movement. My hope is this project will help dispel the fear, lies and hysteria around abortion, and empower women to make educated decisions for their bodies. My mother had an illegal abortion some 30 or so years ago, and almost died from blood loss during the procedure. Soon after, I took a friend to a clinic for an abortion and encountered a mob of anti-abortion protesters waiting by the entrance. A year later, I was facing the same procedure. But once past the bulletproof doors to the clinic, I entered a sanctuary.

The real cost of being Batman | Movie Editor's Blog Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight Trilogy dealt with the emotional and physical cost of parading around a city fighting crime dressed as a bat, but not so much the financial cost. Enter Moneysupermarket.com, who have had their top boffins calculate how much Bruce Wayne had to delve into his piggy bank to on his quest for justice. Covering everything from a periscope to his butler Alfred's salary, the infographic below details how much you'd have to spend to become the caped crusader...

Physicist builds Large Hadron Collider out of Lego I have seen plenty of photos of the Large Hadron Collider or LHC over the years and it is a very impressive piece of machinery. Apparently, a physicist named Sascha Mehlhase had some time not spent doing actual work to recreate the LHC using Lego bricks. It's a very accurate representation as well. Mehlhase works at the Niels Bohr Institute. The LHC model built uses 9,500 Lego parts and cost the builder about 200 euros. The build took about 30 hours. [via PC World] lv426 Here is a little bit unusual corner called- blueprints.It´s a place about my drawings and ideas of new ships,vehicles and camouflage patterns, or informations of c.c.v. Gaspra from my fan film called Terraforming. Drawings are hand -maded (mouse,tablet,scans of the pen or pencil based drawings) , or computer generated images of 3d model (3D Studio MAX) . By some of the drawings a papercraft can be created. The UD-4LX2 Dropship 09 is the proof. The rest of them are ideas only,.....or maybe not...who knows . First in the row are "technical blueprints" of camouflage patterns of Cheyenne UD-4L Utility Dropship. .the were created for "ALIEN LEGACY" forum in years 2005~2006. Those are classical camouflage patterns fom the ALIENS movie.. The Experimental ship UD-4LX No. 08 Deadly Sexy was created as a reaction to request of "little different ship".So it has completely new nose (no more antennas and machinegun). Next creation is experimental too. It´s a brown ,lava and dusty planet.
Post Topic » Fun From Yesterday! DP: What’s the story behind the name? Warshaw: The working title was originally Time Freeze. There’s an interesting story of how Yars became Yars. Now, Yar is Ray spelled backwards, and the game’s story takes place in the Razak solar system, which (backwards) is similar to Kassar, and that stood for Ray Kassar, Atari’s CEO. But there was one person who actually tried to kill of Yars. Reply The Ultimate Sci-Fi Movie Timeline The science-fiction genre inexorably marches on much like time itself – new sci-fi films are always getting made, positing tales of possible futures, alternate realities, and mysterious pasts. But with millennia after millennia of invading aliens, killer robots, and time-tripping DeLoreans, how can we make sense of this shared history of geek greatness? That's where IGN's Ultimate Sci-Fi Movie Timeline comes in! As the time-travel thriller Looper hits theaters, join us for a look back, present, and forward at some of the greatest moments in the pantheon of science-fiction movies. 2001: A Space Odyssey At the very dawn of man, a mysterious alien monolith appears to teach us the marvels of science. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen The Transformer known as the Fallen's attempt to harvest our sun for Energon is thwarted and the villain is exiled.

Huge alien planet is 'made of diamonds', say scientists Future generations of astronauts could come back wealthy men - Yale scientists have detected a huge 'super-Earth' made of diamonds. The study estimates that at least a third of the planet’s mass - the equivalent of about three times the mass of Earth - could be diamond. Earth weighs 5973600000000000000000000kg, and a kilo of reasonable quality diamonds currently fetches sums of $50 million and above. It orbits a sun-like star 40 light years from Earth, so any mineral prospectors would have quite a journey to stake their claim on its riches. [Related: Spider captured in amber eating a wasp alive] The planet is twice as wide as Earth, and has a mass eight times greater. The planet is thought to be covered in graphite - the material found in the 'lead' of pencils - and diamonds. “This is our first glimpse of a rocky world with a fundamentally different chemistry from Earth,” said lead researcher Nikku Madhusudhan, a Yale postdoctoral researcher in physics and astronomy.
Day of darkness - how cyber terrorists could shut down whole cities Suddenly, the lights across a city go off. There is no warning, and no explanation. People expect the power to come back on, but it doesn’t. People’s mobile phones suddenly stop working. Televisions don’t work. The internet has cut out. Not only can’t the citizens call for help, they can’t find out what’s going on. A few buildings with back-up power are the only beacons in a blacked-out city. Probable? There is always a weak link - and it’s usually the humans who operate the machines. Most highly visible cyber attacks use very basic tools - free software, wielded by groups of fairly amateur enthusiasts. A determined attacker, using tools more sophisticated than the ‘blunt instrument’ of mass attacks against websites, could slowly infiltrate, control and unleash havoc. ‘A major cyber attack is going to cause a tremendous amount of chaos,’ says Kevin Haley, Director of Security Response at Norton, ‘It’s just part of the way our infrastructure has evolved. ‘You could attack power and water.
The five alien worlds most likely to support life As scientists announce the discovery of a planet orbiting Alpha Centauri B, the closest star to our sun, it's just one of 750 planets found by space telescopes in recent years. The new planet's surface is thought to be searingly hot and unlikely to support life - but scientists say that other worlds could orbit the same star. But which worlds seen by our space telescopes are most likely to support life - or could it even lurk within our own solar system? [Related: Earth-sized planet found orbiting our nearest star] Name: Kepler 22bSize: EarthLocation: Cygnus solar systemDistance from Earth: 620 light yearsCould there be life? Of all the candidate planets for possible life, Kepler 22b – nicknamed Earth 2.0 – has long been thought to be the most credible. With an orbit of 290 days around a similar sun to our own, the average temperature is a balmy 22C – just 7C higher than on Earth. Its Mediterranean-like climate means there could be water on the planet, which is 2.4 times the size of our own.
