Definition of Douchebag

Posted 2011-06-05 12:24:57 | Views: 19,715
1. Someone who has surpassed the levels of jerk and asshole, however not yet reached fucker or motherfucker. Not to be confused with douche.

Example:

Rob:He kept hitting on my girlfriend at the party, he just wouldnt leave her alone!!

Peter: God, what a douchebag.

2. An individual who has an over-inflated sense of self worth, compounded by a low level of intellegence, behaving ridiculously in front of colleagues with no sense of how moronic he appears.

Example:

Your boss is a real douchebag!

Scientists discover Werewolve Gene

Posted 2011-06-04 22:38:52 | Views: 14,811

Scientists have discovered a genetic mutation responsible for a disorder that causes people to sprout thick hair on their faces and bodies.

Hypertrichosis, sometimes called "werewolf syndrome " is a very rare condition, with fewer than 100 cases documented worldwide. But researchers knew the disorder runs in families, and in 1995 they traced the approximate location of the mutation to a section of the X chromosome (one of the two sex chromosomes) in a Mexican family affected by hypertrichosis.

 

Men with the syndrome have hair covering their faces and eyelids, while women grow thick patches on their bodies. In March, a Thai girl with the condition got into the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's hairiest child.

 

A man in China with congenital hypertrichosis helped researchers break the case. Xue Zhang, a professor of medical genetics at the Peking Union Medical College, tested the man and his family and found an extra chunk of genes on the X chromosome. The researchers then returned to the Mexican family and also found an extra gene chunk (which was different from that of the Chinese man) in the same location of their X chromosomes. 

 

The extra DNA may switch on a hair-growth gene nearby, resulting in runaway furriness. The best bet for a culprit, wrote study researcher Pragna Patel of the University of Southern California, is a gene called SOX3, which is known to play a role in hair growth.

REAL LIFE WEREWOLVE

GENE DISCOVERED?

Seems like Teen Wolf isn't just a movie anymore. Scientists found a genetic mutation that gives people way too much hair. But, I don't think anyone will be howling at the moon.

Normal Cat's vs Ugly Expensive Cat's

Posted 2011-06-04 20:29:48 | Views: 21,520

So True...

Most of the time, the cutest cats are the stray cats that you find in the street, or in some alleyway behind a Burger King or something.

 

I can't stand the expensive one's that look like Korean dictator's and they are too fat to run. Are they smarter or something? What's the appeal?

Ugly Ass Cats are always more Expensive.

British intel hack Al-Qaeda with Cupcakes

Posted 2011-06-03 21:43:06 | Views: 13,349

Make Cupcakes, Not War!

 

British intelligence agency MI6 hacked an Al-Qaeda online magazine, replacing bomb-making instructions with a recipe for cupcakes, The Telegraph reports.

 

The joint action by MI6 and the UK’s Government Communications Headquarters had agents insert into the magazine an encrypted version of “The Best Cupcakes in America,” published by the Ellen DeGeneres talk show.

 

Originally, the magazine had instructions on how to make lethal pipe bombs, as well as articles by Osama bin Laden and his deputy Ayman al-Zawahiri.

 

According to The Telegraph, a similar Pentagon operation was blocked by the CIA, who claimed the magazine is more valuable as a source of intelligence. The attack was launched from Britain instead.

 

Al-Qaeda reissued the magazine (bomb-making instructions included) two weeks later and issued four more editions. According to one of The Telegraph‘s sources, British intelligence “was continuing to target online outlets publishing the magazine because it is viewed as such a powerful propaganda tool.”

 

As amusing as the story may sound, one has to question whether changing the magazine’s content in such an obvious way was the best course of action. It gave Al-Qaeda a clear warning its website had been hacked, probably making the organization a lot more cautious.

Liv Tyler does nude scene in The Ledge

Posted 2011-06-03 16:12:08 | Views: 17,683

Liv Tyler finds the thought of appearing nude on screen "terrifying".

 

The 33-year-old star appeared topless in 1996's critically acclaimed drama Stealing Beauty.

But she hasn't appeared nude on screen again until her new film The Ledge, which is out in American later this month.

 

The steamy thriller features Liv in a series of clinches alongside Patrick Wilson and Charlie Hunnam.

 

Liv, daughter of Aerosmith rocker Steven Tyler, plays a former drug addict who befriends Charlie's suicidal atheist.

 

Liv's decision to disrobe once more may surprise some after she admitted she bitterly fought against appearing topless in Stealing Beauty.

 

"I was like, 'No way, sorry,'" she is quoted as saying by Fox News. "Of course the thought of showing your body parts is a terrifying thought - I find it terrifying. Let alone the whole world. And I fought it until the very end."

 

While she eventually lost her argument, her performance in Bernardo Bertolucci 's film earned her rave reviews and shot her to stardom.
