Awesome guy makes awsome entrance (CCTV)
The rail retired the next day in shame.
The 5-hour energy drinks should use this clip as part of their infomercials! BTW. Don’t be too impressed, it can all be explained by simple physics.

A friend of mine pointed me to this Google search. When you search for “How to fake a” Google will list the most popular searches in trying to help you complete your search.
This is what turns up “How to fake a”. This was true on the 20th of March 2010. Go check it out.
Ladies, you have some explaining to to do…

Surprising facts about orgasms
I posted the video below because this is one funny talk.
Some observations, though:
What is interesting about this talk is that we cannot talk about sex in our culture without a lot of throat clearing and a level of discomfort with the subject. Roach is probably intentionally doing this. as she doesn’t come across as a person who is even bashful in the slightest about sex.
The majority of people are uncomfortable with talking about sex. So instead of just straight talking sex, these signs, add to humor, but also create a bridge to the people who might be a little put-off by the talk. They feel that if she is slightly uncomfortable with breaking open the topic, but can still explore it, than so can they. It works them through to the topic.
Some people seem to think this video is poor because of its informal approach — yet, Mary Roach is adopting this approach because of the stigma associated with sex and orgasm. Some critics say the talk is not “life-changing” or “inspiring” (and why would every talk need to be). But it does fit very well into the TED forum because of the very fact that this video educates us on taboo topics — perhaps making some realize that they are NOT so taboo after all and in this regard makes it a gateway to new thinking and changed attitudes.
The List:
1.) A fetus can masturbate in utero.
2.) You don’t need genitals.
3.) You can have them when you’re dead.
4.) They can cause bad breath.
5.) They can cure hiccups.
6.) Doctors once prescribed them for fertility.
7.) Pig farmers still do.
8.) Animals orgasm more than we think they do.
9.) There was an instrument developed in lab studies — a camera attached to a phallus — to study what happens inside a woman’s vagina when she climaxes.
10.) Kinsey conducted, for lack of a better term, jerk-off in which he lined men up next to each other and had them ejaculate in order to study how far semen can shoot.
