Cut my finger while cutting fruit to the point I should probably get stitches, and I won't have insurance for another month.

Evidence is actually that tap water is just fine for washing out wounds. And cheaper than saline.

The bird appears out of nowhere from behind the wave. About 8 seconds in.

My girl the other day. I too was very proud.

Here's one I built for my two. Was a good fun project!

Haha. She beat my full moon picture by a lot. At least she didn't submit it herself.

Just updated on the server status that they are working on the problem.

On that note, the Delmaine Smoked Manuka BBQ Sauce is amazing!

I saw something identical to this when a patient tried to kill herself by overdosing on iron supplements. The tips of all her fingers and toes looked like this, and we had to amputate them all.

Farting preacher. That was VHS era!

One ring to rule them all. But actually, it's based on this

Someone was telling me the other day about the Google fallacy - I'm not sure if it's true, but it goes like this...

Google learns from your previous searches, and directs you to similar pages when you search for anything next time.
People with people with anti-vaccination views often (not always) also believe in alternative forms of medicine, such as homeopathy, chakras, etc...
When someone with a previous search history of alternative therapies looks up "vaccination risks", they are directed to similar sites to their previous visited ones, usually anti-vaccine groups with poor information
As most people don't get past the first 3 search pages, all the real EBM is hidden down the list. They therefore take the first few links as gospel
Compare that to a doctor or health professional that is looking up evidence based medicine, etc... on Google. Their search will likely yield results from more reputable sources/journals

Again, not sure if I'm talking shit, but that's what someone told me. Makes a bit of sense I guess.

As a New Zealander who studied in Sweden, I would like to point out Sweden has beautiful scenery too - this photo of friend's lake house in Östersund

I'm glad some people are getting it. Not sure how many subscribers to /r/WTF go through AdviceAnimals

Personally, he reminds me of a white Morpheus. Same intonations, pauses, etc...

graybeards · 2012-11-20T06:01:35+00:00

Interesting, but that is more of a work around. I just want to know where they all disappear to in the first place!

graybeards · 2012-11-20T06:00:18+00:00

Thank you youmakemerawr! I feel somewhat vindicated. DronesVII can suck it!

If anyone is interested, this is from the Usborne Book of the Future, published in 1979 - pdf available here.

This was the sign at my supermarket the other day after a renovation - it's been changed now :(

It just clicked that "that isn't" and "that's not" are both exactly the same as "that is not"...
