Uri Geller mystified by letterbox on Thames Sonning Bridge

Bridge got mad sonned. Shit was bananas.

"Residents of Sonning-on-Thames, Berkshire, said the box could only be reached by river users."

Geller: Is it true Bridge got sonned by a Thames over letterbox beef?

(just tbc, fracking in highland park nj is already exceedingly unlikely). Also:

The borough also banned nuclear weapons in the 1980s.)

What will the Affordable Care Act mean for retirees?

SUZANNE SOMERS: As a writer of 24 books mostly on health and wellness and by using my celebrity to get to the best and brightest doctors, scientists and medical professionals in the alternative and integrative health-care world, I have come to the following conclusions...

subsequent correction also applicable:

An earlier version of this post contained a quotation attributed to Lenin (“Socialized medicine is the keystone to the arch of the socialist state”) that has been widely disputed. And it included a quotation attributed to Churchill (“Control your citizens’ health care and you control your citizens“) that the Journal has been unable to confirm.
Also, the cover of a Maclean’s magazine issue in 2008 showed a picture of a dog on an examining table with the headline “Your Dog Can Get Better Health Care Than You.” An earlier version of this post incorrectly said the photo showed and headline referred to a horse.

looooool

Rad Hourani’s Adolescence Smelled Like Sperm & Baby Powder

I wanted something transformable, representing life from birth to death. The top note is baby powder mixed with the smell of sperm, but a sperm that is not necessarily vulgar or filthy. It's more a smell you can't put your finger on...Christopher [the perfumer] went as close to the sperm smell as possible and made it really elegant and beautiful.

the word you're looking for is bleach dude

Amazon to ship things before you're even thought of buying them

http://news.cnet.com/8301-17852_3-57617458-71/amazon-to-ship-things-before-youve-even-thought-of-buying-them/

cool thx for the gift amazon this seems very likely and like a real thing

Bad headline. Seems to be more like "amazon considering shipping stuff to warehouses close to places they expect to sell items soon."

which would be an excellent headline and why CNET usually consults me on these things.

xp: Not bleach. Spermine is the polyamine in semen with the distictive smell - they could easily just add enough spermine (or related compounds spermidine or putrecine) to get that top note just right.
