30 Ways to die from Electrocution

"30 Ways to die from Electrocution" scanned from an old German book.
The best are the man peeing off a bridge onto a trolley wire, a baby putting an exposed electrical wire in its mouth, and a man touching two lamps at the same time (evidently in the early 1900s this would kill you).

Thanks to bre pettis for posting these to Flickr.

Sugarstacks – how much sugar is in your food?

How much sugar is in various food items - measured in cubes of ordinary sugar.


20 oz of soda has 16.5 cubes worth of sugar


a small box of raisins has 7.5 cubes (I hate raisins)


One Twinkie has 4.5 cubes worth of sugar


A pint of ice cream has 19 cubes of sugar

Hospital food – delicious?

Pictures of meals served at hospitals throughout the world.
A few are like what you’d expect: boring, pre-packaged, questionable quality. Most of the pictures are pretty interesting, though, ranging from right-angle OCD food/tray arrangements to actually looking tasty. Japan’s are the coolest – nearly every Japanese photo has a whole fish w/eyes, scales – the works. Can’t imagine how you’d tuck into that thing in a hospital.

Every time I have been in the hospital in the last two years, it was for gastrointestinal-type surgery and so I always had clear liquid diet every time, which includes jello (cherry or orange), water ice (raspberry or orange - both of which become like the consistency of snot when they get a bit melted), tea or coffee (sugar only), cranberry or apple juice, unsalted hot chicken broth (which tastes like metallic water). Basically every element was completely disgusting, especially since I don’t even like drinking beverages on a normal day. Philadelphia PA, USA hospital (thanks Laura)

Online golf. Very zen.

Online golf. Use a simple drag and click to create a directional arrow, whose direction and length control the angle and the speed of your swing. Just like normal golf, try to get the golf ball to the hole in the fewest swings. Very zen.
