Penn And Teller Give A Secret Away
Ever wonder how a woman is cut in half? Penn and Teller give that secret away, with a twist.
Lemming-Like Cows?
Wow…I thought only small-brained animals did things like this. Here is a story of cows diving off cliffs in the Alps. Things usually have an explanation. Perhaps it was wolves that chased them to the edge, except there are no wild carnivores of that size left in the Alps. The cows had to helicoptered out to prevent groundwater pollution.
When You Want To Believe, Then You Will Believe Anything
I’ve seen similar “experiments” by people who say nice feelings do the same thing with water crystals. These guys think that the Koran will do the same thing because its “holy words” alter water. They believe it will do wonderful things to people because we are two-thirds water. Another suggests that water purified by Koran readings might soon be sold.
I bet there is a scammer getting ready for that now.
This is no different from the quacks in the nineteenth century who thought the newly harnessed power of electricity would do great things for the human body. Of course, magnets are a perennial favorite to cure disease too, but I regress from the video at hand. My point being that someone always comes along with something new to impress a few fools.
Masaru Emoto is the man generally associated with the water crystal “feel good” changes. Here is an article pointing out the unscientific premise of his work. Emoto was prominently featured in the 2004 film “What the #$*! Do We Know?” Here is a skeptic approach to it.
I’m not sure, but I think that is Emoto in this video. That would explain everything. At the very least its one of his disciples.
What I find interesting is that in 2004 New Age spiritualists were enthralled with Emoto’s idea. Now, in this video, devout Muslims are sucked into the same fantasy. At least in “What the #$*! Do We Know?,” Emoto convinced people that all good feelings caused these changes in water. In his view, water operated as some kind of universal translator for good feelings.
In this video, these guys think its just Allah and Islam doing it. I don’t notice Emoto or whomever it is jumping forward to say that writing the name of Moses, Jesus or Buddha onto a glass water will do the same thing.
Saudi Man Spends $47K For Penis Enlarger
You too can have an 18-carat gold penis enlarger, encrusted with diamonds and rubies…for only $47,000. That is what a Saudi man ordered. I bet if he had just gone to a local porn shop he could have found one for $20 that would have worked just as well. Of course, in Saudi Arabia, there are no porn shops. Then again, I don’t think there’s much evidence that a penis enlarger works either.
Here’s a link to the story.
Saudi Women Stripping On The Internet
This is what happens when you repress human nature and suppress a class of people. In this case, women.
Much to the dismay of conservatives in Saudi Arabia who think the female human body is too much for the male eye to bear, a growing number of young Saudi women are revealing themselves behind closed doors, but open to the wide world of the internet.
In Brazil It’s OK To Pee In The Shower
For those of you who don’t know Portuguese:
Pee in the shower! We want everyone to do it!

Pee in the bath! Help the Atlantic Forest.?
India To Become Most Populous Country By 2030
The Chinese one-child policy appears to have worked. China’s population has slowed and will soon level off. India has not achieved that stabilization, however. The problem for the Chinese is that they may become an old country before they become rich. With a declining birthrate, an older population becomes a bigger burden and less productive. Health care and retirement grow as priorities. If the Chinese don’t have the affluence to address those needs, social turmoil will ensue.
Many people think China will become the United States chief rival in a few short decades. That may be true, but it is unlikely that the Chinese can maintain that level of competition. They may fall aside the same way the Soviet Union did in the 1980’s. In the process, the Chinese leadership may need to adapt to political change or face a revolution from an unhappy populace.
