6 Insane Discoveries That Science Can't Explain We like to feel superior to the people who lived centuries ago, what with their shitty mud huts and curing colds by drilling a hole in their skulls. But we have to give them credit: They left behind some artifacts that have left the smartest of modern scientists scratching their heads. For instance, you have the following enigmas that we believe were created for no other purpose than to fuck with future generations. The Voynich Manuscript The Mystery: The Voynich manuscript is an ancient book that has thwarted all attempts at deciphering its contents. It appears to be a real language--just one that nobody has seen before. Translation: "...and when you get her to put the tennis racket in her mouth, have her stand in a fountain for a while. There is not even a consensus on who wrote it, or even when it was written. Why Can't They Solve It? Could you? Don't even try. As you can imagine, proposed solutions have been all over the board, from reasonable to completely clownshit. Our Guess:

EasyBib: Free Bibliography Maker - MLA, APA, Chicago citation styles 5 Retarded Superstitions (With Logical Explanations) This Irish symbol is possibly the most well-known good luck charm in the world, which is somewhat odd considering the whole "luck of the Irish" thing is a bit of an oxymoron (historians say it originates from the fact that the world just seems luckier when you're inebriated). Where the Hell Did This Come From? The simplest reason the four-leaf clover is considered lucky is because they're so rare, with only around one in 10,000 clovers sporting four leaflets. At least they were rare, as these days there are numerous places to buy your very own four-leaf clover online. Although, if you're the type of person who thinks paying $25 for an clover on the Internet is a good idea, the problems in your life likely have little to do with luck. "Just a few more clovers and I'll be back on top!" The use of clover as a lucky charm dates back to pre-Christian times when Druidism was the religion of the day in Ireland. Clover is also edible and, in fact, quite nutritious.

MyLifeIsBro 6 Adorable Cat Behaviors With Shockingly Evil Explanations Imitating Snakes to Intimidate You Anyone who has ever witnessed a visceral deathmatch between two angry cats is intimately aware of the blood curdling noises the cute little animals are able to create. Besides the demonically drawn out "Mrrrroww" that emanates from the very bowels of Hell itself, when a cat feels threatened, they always turn to the tried and true hiss. Lots of animals make this noise when in the throes of battle, but why? It turns out that when a cat pushes its ears down, bares its fangs, squints its slivered eyes and hisses, it closely resembles another animal that is naturally feared and avoided by most predators: the snake. Cooobraaaa!! Cats, like many other animals, from butterflies to birds, instinctively employ the art of mimicry in order to best defend themselves from attack. So the next time you piss off your kitty and it hisses at you, it's not just showing its disapproval. Obsessively Getting Rid of the Stench of Humans Hmmm... that's strange. Cats love murder.

Pictures of Pennies Hi, I'm Mitch Fincher and these pages are from a talk I gave while a Civil Engineering student at Texas Tech University. The following is the basic pattern for building cantilevered structures with Pennies. Although it looks trivial, we can build amazing structures with these pillars. All penny columns are ten pennies high, a "stack". Two side-by-side pennies held in place by a penny above them is called a "triad". Now, I'll show you how to build a simple bridge. Carefully filling the space between with pennies, we create a one penny-span bridge. Repeating the process by putting an extra triad on top of each stack, we can create a two penny-span bridge. Although it looks weak, it will actually hold quite a bit of weight. We can move on to a three penny-span bridge. And finally to six and seven penny-span bridges. Click "Next" to move on to "The Big Tower". Submit your amazing coin stacking pictures. Note: All stacks of coins were done without any glue.
