Fuck You in Different Languages

An American girl has a webcam chat with a starving boy from Africa.

I just think it would be such an awesome opportunity for Americans to be able to reach out to the world and have incredibly eye opening conversations with people from third world countries. Wouldn't that be incredible?

"I am soo excited to meet an American!! I have heard so much good things! Tell me what life is like in America!"

"Well.. I wake up and eat breakfast.. then I usually go on my computer for a bit. Check my Facebook, play some Farmville..and then...."

"Farmville? What is that?"

"Well it's a computer app where you have your own farm and you grow food and harvest it. It's really fun."

"Cool!! Then you eat it?"

"Er.. no.. you can't eat it. LOL."

"You farm food that you cannot eat? I don't understand. Is it poisonous? "

"Well. no.. I guess you could. Don't know how much protein is in a computer LOL. But no, the food just doesn't actually exist. It's not edible. Ya know?"

"You spend your time growing inedible food that doesn't exist?"

"...Yeah?"

"If you're going to spend your time growing food, why not grow real food that people can actually eat? Think of all the lives you'd save!

A Drug That Could Give You Perfect Visual Memory

Imagine if you could look at something once and remember it forever. You would never have to ask for directions again. Now a group of scientists has isolated a protein that mega-boosts your ability to remember what you see.

A group of Spanish researchers reported today in Science that they may have stumbled upon a substance that could become the ultimate memory-enhancer. The group was studying a poorly-understood region of the visual cortex. They found that if they boosted production of a protein called RGS-14 (pictured) in that area of the visual cortex in mice, it dramatically affected the animals' ability to remember objects they had seen.

Mice with the RGS-14 boost could remember objects they had seen for up to two months. Ordinarily the same mice would only be able to remember these objects for about an hour.

The researchers concluded that this region of the visual cortex, known as layer six of region V2, is responsible for creating visual memories. When the region is removed, mice can no longer remember any object they see.

If this protein boosts visual memory in humans, the implications are staggering. In their paper, the researchers say that it could be used as a memory-enhancer – which seems like an understatement. What's particularly intriguing is the fact that this protein works on visual memory only. So as I mentioned earlier, it would be perfect for mapping. It would also be useful for engineers and architects who need to hold a lot of visual images in their minds at once. And it would also be a great drug for detectives and spies.

Could it also be a way to gain photographic memory? For example, if I look at a page of text will I remember the words perfectly? Or will I simply remember how the page looked?

I can't see much of a downside for this potential drug, unless the act of not forgetting what you see causes problems or trauma.

Music On Phone

You can play music on your phone by pressing the buttons (1,2,3)...and along the side (6,9,#). But don't play the 4,5,7,8,*, or 0. They sound even worse than the others.

Here are a few I searched on the net....
