"Girl who drives a truck" (Trukkalessa). When they eventually run out of random items to call one another, they will revert to grittier tactics. "Corpsefucker" (naridill) "Sheepfucker" (rollurioari) "Unclefucker" (frandseroir) It's assuring to see other cultures helping us to push the envelope of what "fuck" is truly capable of. "I'll make sarma with your penis' skin" (Glirit mortin hed sarma shinem) Who Said That? Dear God Why? Other helpful Armenian phrases: Fun Fact: You can gauge how industrialized a nation is by the percentage of their insults that involve barnyard animals. "Eshoon noor oodel chi vayeler" It's not pretty watching a jackass try to eat a pomegranate (read: clumsy). "Krisnera zhazh tan vred" Let the rats ejaculate on you. "Kak oudelic shoon" Shit eating dog. "Eshu Koorak" Son of Donkey. The one involving rats is particularly jarring. Who Said That?
Drawing Autism Drawing Autism is an incredible collection of artwork by people diagnosed with autism, from teenage amateurs to established artists. Unlike many of the books I feature on 50 Watts, this one is in print. You should buy it. This post features a small selection of my favorite images from the book, along with some quotes by the artists. Publisher's description: Over the last decade autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has become an international topic of conversation, knowing no racial, ethnic, or social barriers. Donna Williams, The Outsider What was the inspiration for this piece? "The Outsider" is about joining in from the periphery. An excerpt from the artist's answer to the question, "At what age did the act of creating art enter into your life? I was deeply mesmerized with all things aesthetic and sensory from at least 6 months of age. Felix: Imaginary City Map, Age 11 What was the inspiration for this piece Generally I start drawing one street on different spots on the edge of my paper. None.
9 Mind-Blowing Pieces of Art Made With Ridiculous Materials Let's face it -- we've all tried to build a house of cards or make a sand castle at some point in our lives, but most of us get bored within a few minutes and give up. For others it may take an hour, or maybe even a few days... and there are those who devote their lives to making hugely pointless yet amazing things out of small, ridiculous materials. Such as ... A Fully Livable LEGO House It's no surprise that people can build some amazing things out of Legos. Via WhitespaceA re-enactment of Roosevelt's inauguration, in which he claimed he was "knee-deep in bitches." However, some individuals have taken their obsession with tiny plastic bricks even further ... and some even manage to make a living off of it. Via Brickartist.comIf you looked like an 80s computer game character. But perhaps the greatest feat of Lego architecture of all time was the one thought up by British television presenter James May. Via Nowpublic.com"Wine is on the table," he called out to them. He uses a blowtorch.

The 7 Dumbest Things Students Do When Cramming for Exams Each year before the holidays, college students find themselves staring down the barrel of exam week. Fortunately, they're totally serious about learning the information and they aren't getting up from this desk until they do! Unfortunately, desperation can only be directly converted into high scores on reality TV. GettyPlan A The first and most important thing is to actually deal with it, because running away from college only dumps you in the real world faster. #7. Getty Listen, students, this might sound crazy but it's important: You are not squirrels. GettyMy INT score is higher than my IQ. Your head won't absorb knowledge because you built a library on your table. But that doesn't mean you should let yourself off the hook when you notice yourself doing this. Instead, try starting with something manageable like reading one book you were supposed to have read. #6. GettyIf fluorescent pink burned information into brains no one would be against gay marriage. #5. #4.
The 5 Most Mind-Blowing Things That Can Be Found Underwater Exploring the depths via scuba or free diving is one of those things that seems really cool in theory. Then you swim around in a pool for 36 hours, go to the man-made lake you heard had a flooded town and discover a bunch of muddy brick foundations. It turns out that lakes in the Midwest are about as full of adventurous treasures as the towns around them. But, like the 28 percent of the Earth that's not covered in water, if you pick the right spot at the right time of day, you can find stuff down there that will blow your mind. For instance ... #5. A group of amateur cave explorers discovered a river in Mexico with banks, trees and leaves just like an ordinary river, but with an additional metric shit ton of "WTF," because they were hovering 25 feet over it in scuba gear when they discovered it. Anatoly Beloshchin"We're calling it the Meta-River." While underwater water doesn't seem possible, the "river" is actually a briny mix of salt water and hydrogen sulfide. #4. #3.
13 Real Animals Lifted Directly Out of Your Nightmares Nature seems to have a limitless supply of creativity. From giant spiders to gamma ray bursts, nature has gotten more mileage out of the same old material than the writers of The Simpsons. But sometimes the things she comes up with are so goose-fucking insane they make Crispin Glover look like Jean-Luc Picard. We're talking about creatures that seemed to have abandoned all earthly processes of evolution to achieve pure horror. Like... Deep Sea Hatchetfish A.K.A. the Fish That Will Eat Your Soul Also known as the fish of the damned, it appears the only reason we don't hear their curse-filled lamentations is because they're underwater. They only grow to be about four and a half inches long, but their bite-sized terror is potent--they hide in the deep during the day, then rise up at night, returning once more to the abyss as day breaks. The Squid with Teeth (Promachoteuthis Sulcus) Looking like a human mouth surrounded by tentacles, this thing could have come straight out of bad horror anime.
9 Ridiculous Cooking Myths You Probably Believe We don't expect all of our readers to know everything about cooking. At least some of our readers probably aren't expert chefs (though, yes, we assume that most are). It's OK if everyone doesn't know how to properly prepare a blowfish, or how to pair the right wine with the right dinner. You're not a master chef by any means, but you still know a few basic food truths, right? Well guess what: You're wrong about those, too. #9. The sandwich is, without question, the best thing ever discovered by man (suck it, penicillin!) GettyTime for FedEx overnight. That's why coming home to a loaf of stale bread is absolutely the single worst thing in life (suck it, AIDS!). The Reality: Wrong. GettyIt's too late for this loaf. #8. OK, you can't make a sandwich because all of your bread is stale, so you've decided to make a nice lobster (often called "the sandwich of the sea") instead. GettyBe honest. Except it isn't screaming. GettyNow this is just a useless pot of untortured meat. #7. #6. Yep! #5.

First Time Moms: What to Expect in Your First Labor | Organic Mama Cafe As I get ready to give birth again, I’ve been thinking a lot of past labors and how they feel in relation to second and third labors. The first time was SO different from the second both in terms of physical ease and, I think, in terms of knowing what to expect and probably feeling a little less fearful. Since so many of my girlfriends and readers are getting ready to labor for the first time, I wanted to spend a little time talking about this today. First, it’s really normal and perfectly fine to feel a little fearful of the unknown. The best way to get over fear is to examine it, answer it and move past it. 1.Educate yourself about birth and pick a doctor who fits your philosophy of birth by asking open ended questions. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. Girls, don’t freak out about seeing your own vagina. 13. A few more thoughts… As you near birth, something wonderful happens that helps you to overcome your fear (if you’re feeling any). Focus on recovering and enjoying that new baby!
Just Imagine 2/1/12 at 11:30 am | Comments You may have been told that you have always been a dreamer, as if this were a fault. I can speak here from experience. Family, friends, teachers, and even advisors frequently disparaged ideas that burned brightly in my imagination. When I was being discharged from the Navy at the age of 22, my superiors warned me that starting college at my “advanced age” was loaded with uncertainty, particularly since I had no higher education experience, and I would be competing with younger recent high school graduates. As a young boy in a foster home, I almost always ignored other people’s ideas about what I should be thinking or doing—I simply was indifferent to their opinions regarding what I could imagine for myself. Not long ago, others advised me that acting in a movie was not sensible for me as a 68-year-old man with no acting experience. Stay in a state of grace and gratitude for this resplendent gift that is always yours to do with as you choose.
Tutorial: Camera Strap Cover with Lens Cap Pocket I know, I know . . . there are a ton of these tutorials out there but I thought I'd share how I made these anyways! I really like making these since they're easy, fairly quick to make, and another great way to use up scraps. Very comfy too! My new camera came with a vinyl strap (yuck) and it just didn't feel good. I made two versions yesterday, a patchwork strap and a solid strap. Note: I made these covers to fit the standard sized strap that comes with Canon/Nikon DSLR/SLRs. Supplies: Fabric (various prints for the patchwork strap or 2 prints for the solid) Thread Heavy Weight Fusible Fleece (I used Pellon that I got at Walmart) Fusible Interfacing (doesn't matter what kind) Scissors Rotary cutter/mat (optional but suggested) For the solid strap you'll need to cut: For the patchwork strap: I cut different lengths of fabrics {all 3.75 inches wide) and sewed them together (along the width measurement) using 1/4 inch seam allowance to equal 26.5 inches long when completed. Construction: 1.
