I come to you this evening with a double header.

First, I ask that you take a read about Brian Douglas Wells, a pizza delivery man with an interesting fate. This story has been around for awhile...so there's a fair chance you've heard of it. Either way, the article gives quite a bit of detail.

A video of the incident (You'll appreciate it much more if you read the article first):

YouTube

Secondly, I'd like for you to look at the story of The Hi-Fi Murders, an article outlining what some believe to be the worst crimes ever committed in the state of Utah.

So... HA.

Orgazmo · 09-20-2008, 12:30 PM

Nevermind, guys. Ninjaface has heard of the articles I posted, so I'd imagine none of you will enjoy them.

Apologies.

ninjaface · 09-20-2008, 12:49 PM

He's right.

SittinOnDubsWGW · 09-20-2008, 08:24 PM

I knew about the incident, but had no idea that there was video of it. That vid is nuts.

Ugly Bastard · 09-20-2008, 10:38 PM

And also obviously fake.

Orgazmo · 09-29-2008, 11:21 PM

Take a look at D. B. Cooper, a man that swindled the FBI out of 200k with an airplane hijacking.

Ironic Mustache · 09-30-2008, 10:03 AM

I would like to point out this little incident from the Hi Fi story:

Quote:

Following the issuing of death sentences, the NAACP demanded that Selby and Andrews' sentences be removed, claiming that Selby and Andrews had been unfairly convicted since they were both black, and the victims and jury were all white.

Clearly an injustice was done.

The Helix Nebula Or the 'Eye of God' as some refer to it.

This isn't a wiki article, but it still has some very interesting shit about some of the strangest artifacts ever found.

Time travelers !

Historic reports even say that the Titanic took on considerable weight as it was sinking, it is hypothesized that it was because of extra people and they were time-tourists!

Mr. Blonde · 11-29-2008, 05:35 PM

also; water.

Orgazmo · 11-29-2008, 11:35 PM

Traveling back in time isn't possible. It simply can't be due to the possible paradoxes that could arise.

Traveling to the future...that's a horse of a different color.

That's already been done. I think I read about it when I had to write a report on black holes. Some dude orbited the earth a bunch of times...and because of the speed he was traveling, he was in the future like a fraction of a second.

Don't really know any more details..or really what that means. (like...is he just a fraction of a second younger (or older??) now? ..or, when he stopped orbiting, was he no longer in the future? (if that happened, wouldn't that mean he went back in time?))

Orgazmo · 11-30-2008, 02:08 AM

The faster someone travels, the slower their body ages. This means that a guy orbiting the earth (in the same direction earth is rotating, preferably) will age more slowly than the one standing still...and will be younger, even if the dudes happened to be born at the same time.

This has to do with the speed of light being relatively equal to everyone...no matter their speed. In other words, if there's a guy sitting still...and a guy traveling at 1/2 the speed of light away from the guy sitting still...and a guy behind the guy sitting still fires up a super powerful flashlight, the speed of that light will seem to be exactly the same to both the guy sitting still & the guy traveling 1/2 the speed of light away from the source. By the same token, if there were a guy traveling 1/2 the speed of light toward the super powerful flashlight, the light's speed would appear to be the exact same to him.

Since each person observes this speed to be the same irrelevent to their personal speed, each person has a "personal time." Since it all is observed the same to each person, it takes the same amount of time for light to be 1 "light second" ahead of the person. This means that the speed of light is the base of each person's relative time and that a universal time cannot exist.

I saw a youtube video on this awhile ago that made this a lot easier to understand with visuals and whatnot. I'll try to find it later if no one else posts something of that sort.

	The basis of our governments being the opinion of the people, the very first object should be to keep that right; and were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter. But I should mean that every man should receive those papers and be capable of reading them.
