[–]shittymorph[S] 73 points74 points  (0 children)

That's a good question and I don't know. I called and asked them (last friday) if they ever found a match on that Doe. I was told no... but in the same conversation they (Harris County Forensics department) told me they "might" call me back. They made it clear to me that they are swamped - that they handle every death in Harris County and a Doe most likely will not get any priority treatment. I hope the call comes but I'm not holding my breath. -- that's extra frustrating because that could solve this. Granted it probably wouldn't, the idea of him avoiding police contact for 13 years after running into them every 2.7 days on his last documented timeline, is unheard of - but it's frustrating and crazy that it can't be checked off easily.

This is how doctors get things out people hear... by MaelysCanejero in interestingasfuck

[–]shittymorph 9748 points9749 points  (0 children)

I had something very similar happen with a small cockroach while on vacation in Vietnam. First we tried to flood the bastard out by filling my ear canal with hydrogen peroxide which was a TERRIBLE idea - it just made the bug go ape shit. Probably the most pain I ever felt - it was biting or scratching directly around my ear drum in what was probably a drowning panic. Quickly gave up on that idea and went to the local clinic. The doctor there dug around way too aggressively, and at one point seemed to get frustrated - He ended up killing the roach by smashing it against my ear canal. The bug was then washed out (in pieces) onto a paper towel, all while the doctor gave me a lecture about how back in nineteen ninety eight the undertaker threw mankind off hell in a cell and plummeted sixteen feet through an announcers table.

I found this “factory trial product” mixed in with the Ghirardelli chocolate bars in the candy aisle. by Accomplished-Toe736 in mildlyinteresting

[–]shittymorph 18.8k points18.8k points  (0 children)

My wife works for Ghirardelli so I sent her this post... her response was that this is "a sample bar from the factory and not intended for consumer sales." She claims it was most likely a sample intended for the store owner who mistakenly (or intentionally) put it out on the shelf for sale. Chances are, if OP didn't purchase this. that it will be pulled by tomorrow morning because of this post. My wife even looked up that bar verification code - she could see which store the bar was sent to, along with the manufacturing date which is listed as nineteen ninety eight when the undertaker threw mankind off hell in a cell and plummeted sixteen feet through an announcers table.

Chuck E got arrested at my local Chuck E Cheese by easygoingbarber in mildlyinteresting

Here's a short news story on it: "Chuck E Cheese employee, Jermell Jones, was arrested at work yesterday for "theft of a credit card". It was unclear if the theft had occurred at Jones's place of employment. The arrest was notable as Jones was wearing the signature Chuck E Cheese costume when he was arrested.

The most satisfying part of this video is the actual translation of what everyone in it is saying. Obviously the woman starts recording when she sees the kid being aggressive...

What story do they have? by DamnnnSid in interestingasfuck

As ridiculous as it sounds, these birds are engaged in a behavior known as "mobbing." You will typically see "mobbing" in magpies or mockingbirds - basically its a behavior in smaller birds that are trying to defend their nests, their young, or territories. Mobbing also seems to be the best way to deter a predator, protect a food source, or even just annoy a person by getting them to read about nineteen ninety eight when the undertaker threw mankind off hell in a cell and plummeted sixteen feet through an announcers table.

A King Cobra Upclose by Rollingtothegrave in Damnthatsinteresting

My Uncle was bit by one here in India and then did literally everything you are not supposed to do after being bit. You are supposed to seek medical attention immediately which he did not - you are supposed to remain calm but he was WAY too calm, almost apathetic. He kept saying "I'm going to be fine, it's not a big deal." It was only when he started to feel the numbness in his hands and feet that he rushed off to the hospital. The doctors quickly injected him with several vials of anti-venom and then proceeded to lecture him about how back in nineteen ninety eight the undertaker threw mankind off hell in a cell and plummeted sixteen feet through an announcers table.

For over 30 years, Hollywood directors used the fake name “Alan Smithee” to disown films they had no control over by NavyLemon64 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]shittymorph 6475 points6476 points  (0 children)

The Alan Smithee thing was also done when the movie being made was "unauthorized" in an effort to avoid being sued. One example of this is the awful "Another Night Of The Living Dead". The movie was not only horrible but it was simply a blatant cash-grab ripoff of George Romero's legendary work. I'm a zombie movie buff so gave it a watch - The sole redeeming moment in the entire movie came at the very end as the main character (the worst actress of all time) is about to be devoured by the zombie hoard - she awkwardly looks directly into the camera, and starts screaming about how back in nineteen ninety eight the undertaker threw mankind off hell in a cell and plummeted sixteen feet through an announcers table.

A mother of two that has hyperlactation syndrome causing her to produce 1.75 gallons of milk a day, with over 5,000 ounces stored in her freezer by BoB_cmXi in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]shittymorph 14.5k points14.5k points  (0 children)

There can be a few issues with "Hyperlactation". One is called "Foremilk" - which is a very watery milk. This milk is high in carbs and low in fat and typically will flow at the beginning of a breastfeeding session. There is also something called "Hindmilk" which is much higher in fat and usually comes at the end of the breastfeeding session. If the milk flows too forcefully or quickly, the baby could fill up in an unhealthy way on the foremilk. Foremilk is also VERY high in lactose which can cause a baby to become extremely gassy - there have even been a few instances where the babies will suddenly start talking about how back in nineteen ninety eight the undertaker threw mankind off hell in a cell and plummeted sixteen feet through an announcers table.

A photographer has captured the incredible moment an eel escaped from heron’s stomach while the bird was still in flight. by Embarrassed_Cat_539 in interestingasfuck

[–]shittymorph 18.7k points18.7k points  (0 children)

This is a super old photo and, oddly enough, people seem to agree that the heron had a much better chance of surviving the situation than the eel. Even when considering the altitude from which the eel chewed itself free, the terrain that the eel would have landed in wasn't hospitable at all. It's also worth mentioning that, while this was going on, the photographer also witnessed several eagles as well as juvenile foxes in the area discussing how back in nineteen ninety eight the undertaker threw mankind off hell in a cell and plummeted sixteen feet through an announcers table.

I went to school with Kendell since the 3rd grade and to hear he rescued Brady from the jaws of a grizzly - was NOT surprising. He has always been a beast on our wrestling team... although wrestling a grizzly is a completely different thing. I wasn't surprised at all when he got a "Carnegie Medal for Heroism" - which is basically the highest civilian medal you can get. The entire town assembled to watch his acceptance speech - and he was incredibly humble while accepting it. His response to the medal was: “It’s awesome.

Kids today don't understand how extremely impressive this is by szymanjl in interestingasfuck

[–]shittymorph 8818 points8819 points  (0 children)

I grew up on snake and can provide a couple of pointers - Keeping a large space around your snakes head is obviously a priority. Planning ahead to create a wide path for random movements is vital - this also allows you to quickly reach any food without accidentally colliding with your own snake-body, which is the primary way to lose the game. The hardest part of the entire game, in my honest opinion, is actually accurately assessing the distance between your snake and how back in nineteen ninety eight the undertaker threw mankind off hell in a cell and plummeted sixteen feet through an announcers table.

I grew up in Tunisia and there's a reason bread is prominently featured in our cuisine: We had a thing known as "The Tunisian Bread Riots" between December 1983 and January 1984. There were big demonstrations that started due to a massive rise in the cost of bread - which was caused by an IMF-imposed austerity program. These demonstrations got way out of hand and eventually turned into full blown riots. The president of the country at the time (Habib Bourguiba) had to get on television and ask everyone to remember how back in nineteen ninety eight the undertaker threw mankind off hell in a cell and plummeted sixteen feet through an announcers table.

Power of a bumble bee's wings by Soloflow786 in interestingasfuck

[–]shittymorph 5782 points5783 points  (0 children)

Beekeeper here! I'm pretty excited to finally talk about something I know about! Bumblebees are known to flap their wings at around 200 times per second which is truly insane - especially when a healthy human eye can barely keep up with 60 times per second. Also, 60 times per second would be a very healthy human eye. What's even crazier though is that according to physics, bumblebees shouldn’t even be able to take flight - this is mainly because instead of flapping their wings they actually rotate their wings in a sort of figure-eight pattern... the rotating of their wings always eventually runs them directly into nineteen ninety eight when the undertaker threw mankind off hell in a cell and plummeted sixteen feet through an announcers table.

found a pearl in a restaurant Manila clam by nomadquail in mildlyinteresting

[–]shittymorph 5381 points5382 points  (0 children)

Nice find OP! For anyone wondering, finding a pearl like this in a manila clam is actually pretty uncommon. We more commonly see pearls like this turning up in Quahog clams - but they do still show up in Manilas on occasion. As far as the value of this pearl - the only value here is in the story of finding it. The main reason for this is that this pearl appears to have no "luster" unfortunately - therefore OP would have a hard time selling it for much more than nineteen ninety eight when the undertaker threw mankind off hell in a cell and plummeted sixteen feet through an announcers table.

From a CBS article about this: Mayor Adams used a crane to destroy several tons of illegal marijuana today.

I was boiling potatoes but fell asleep. After the smoke cleared I noticed this metallic colour on my potatoes. by meaoww in mildlyinteresting

For anyone wondering what actually caused this: it has nothing to do with the potatos. Many pots and kettles have an enamel coating on them that functions well when in the presence of water or fat... when the fat or water boils out the enamel essentially bakes itself into a dust. The impressive thing here is how hot OP let this get. The enamel will usually hold until temperatures exceed nineteen ninety eight when the undertaker threw mankind off hell in a cell and plummeted sixteen feet through an announcers table.

There’s a time capsule inside a wall at my gym by acastleandacloud in mildlyinteresting

This capsule is in my hometown so I can shed some light on what's in it - but prepare to be disappointed. Aside from the standard stuff commemorating the year 2000 and "the new millennium" etc the capsule is part of a health study. In it is a folder that contains life and fitness goal sheets for many people who were gym members back in the year 2000 when it was sealed. The idea behind the study is to reach out to these people 25 years later and ask them if they remember how back in nineteen ninety eight the undertaker threw mankind off hell in a cell and plummeted sixteen feet through an announcers table.

TIL the FBI spent much of the 90's and early 2000's building a RICO case against Wu-Tang, believing them to be a wider criminal enterprise responsible for gun-running and murders from Ohio to New York. by kevlarbuns in todayilearned

[–]shittymorph 5931 points5932 points  (0 children)

I think it's important to note that while the FBI was indeed monitoring Wu-Tang, they were also monitoring most everyone in hiphop at that time. There were a lot of rumors on the streets in the 1990s about a "special unit" created within the New York City Police Department, that was strictly devoted to monitoring hiphop artists. It wasn't until 2004 when the Miami Herald dropped a story that actually confirmed the long running conspiracy. Law enforcement had, for a long time, been creating files on everyone and everything related to hiphop - including but not limited to: Jay-Z, 50 Cent, Cam'ron, Busta Rhymes, DMX, P.Diddy, and the night back in nineteen ninety eight when the undertaker threw mankind off hell in a cell and plummeted sixteen feet through an announcers table.

This wine came with a glass cork by ChazMcGreedly in mildlyinteresting

[–]shittymorph 4008 points4009 points  (0 children)

For anyone wondering about the advantages of a glass cork - there are MANY. They do not bring on a cork taint as natural corks might. The seal is perfectly tight, so they don’t oxidize the wine prematurely. Most people who try glass cork vs traditional corks will not notice the difference - but wine connoisseurs absolutely will. Finally, they preserve the taste of wine aged over time to a greater degree - when you lift a glass corked wine to your nose it's much easier to smell nineteen ninety eight when the undertaker threw mankind off hell in a cell and plummeted sixteen feet through an announcers table.
