Gray’s Anatomy
As part of an event at the Internetional Makeup Artists Trade Show, elite body paint artist Lisa Merczel created this medical illustration of the human skull mapped to the actual contours of the head. A much easier way to learn your anatomy lessons.

This is great. Houston Texan Andre Johnson’s receipts for $19K he spent on Xmas gifts for kids in Child Protective Services.
That is the best receipt ever.

Guy gets a DUI - news for 6 weeks. Guy spends his money on kids in need for Xmas - no one cares.
Real good, world.

Mitt Romney showed the size of his largess when after losing the election he cut off funding to the credit cards for thousands of his staffers, leaving some stranded and without a revenue source.
Many campaign workers found themselves in restaurants, or cabs with an anxious vendor waiting to be paid and the staffer’s credit cards declined. Mitt Romney left them holding the bag, and he was no longer willing to foot the bill. Some workers found themselves stranded in strange cities across the nation, hundreds or thousands of miles from home, without a penny in their pocket and no plan of action to take next.
This entire scenario is a window into the type of man Mitt Romney is at his core. When there is nothing to lose, and the cameras are not rolling, he is a ruthless individual.
Some members of the Romney staff took it in stride. MSNBC.com reported one staffer who, when asked about the credit cards being cut off, shrugged and said: “Fiscally conservative.”
As is often the case, the perspective of the situation depends on how one looks at the situation.
hahaha holy shit what a fucking prick wow
ladies and gentlemen, mitt romney
GOOD JOB BUDDY

Male bees are born from unfertilized bee eggs. Female bees are born from fertilized eggs. Thus, a male bee will always have one parent, and a female bee will have two. If you trace the ancestry of any male bee, you will find that he has one parent, two grandparents, three great-grandparents, five great-great-grandparents, and so on. This sequence of numbers of parents is an example of the Fibonacci sequence in nature.

The man who saved the world:
Stanislav Petrov was manning surveillance equipment for the Soviet Air Defense Forces when he noticed something strange on the screen. Soon after, warning signals started flashing with the report of an incoming nuclear missile from the USA.
Seeing only one missile, he figured it was a mistake, assuming Americans wouldn’t send only one missile if they wanted a nuclear war.
Soon thereafter, many more started appearing on the screen.
Nevertheless he trusted his instincts, and rather than contact his superiors he waited to see what would happen. He waited past the perceived time on impact. There was no damage - the warnings were due to a system malfunction.
Had Petrov not defied protocol and contacted his superiors, a real retaliatory strike may very well have been fired in response - igniting nuclear war between the USA and Soviet Union.

When is a car commercial not a car commercial?
When it’s this commercial and it stars several versions of Robert Downey Jr.
This is like Twilight Zone, by Volvo. Seriously.
