If The London Underground Etiquette Poems Were Sweary

TfL recently ran a competition asking people to come up with their own poems about tube etiquette. We had a go ourselves, and got a little bit NSFW.

New Research Shows Lesbians Drink More Than Straight Women, But Are No More Likely To Be Alcoholics

Philip.paulsson

That's hot.

A major new study into women’s use of alcohol, seen exclusively by BuzzFeed News, challenges the prevailing wisdom.

Digital Vision. / Getty Images

Indeed, a federally funded study in the US theorised that "sexual-minority women's heightened risk of hazardous drinking and psychological distress" might be related to childhood trauma, or the stress caused by coming out.

But now a new study in the UK, seen exclusively by BuzzFeed News, appears to reveal that although a greater proportion of lesbian and bisexual women have a "hazardous" relationship with alcohol than straight women, they are no more likely to be dependent on it.

The findings come from a five-year study carried out by PACE, Britain's leading LGBT mental health organisation, involving approximately 2,000 women. It is believed to be the largest survey of its kind.

The researchers found that 31.9% of heterosexual women engage in problematic drinking, compared to 37.1% of lesbians and bisexual women. But levels of alcohol addiction are almost identical: 4% for straight women and 4.5% for LGB women, which is within the margin of error.

Hayes is fascinated by stenographers. Last week, during a pre-game press conference, Hayes tested the stenographer's skills by rattling off a random list of wonky words.

Before he answered a reporter's question, Hayes said, "I'd like to say a few words: cattywampus, onomatopoeia, and antidisestablishmentarianism."

USA Today / Via usatoday.com

When reporters asked about the tongue-twisters, Hayes told them, "She does an amazing job typing words," and that "If I say a word like soliloquy right now, she may have to work a little bit harder to type that word. Or quandary, zephyr, xylophone, things like that, that make her job more interesting."

This Cartoonist Has Absolutely Captured The Agony Of Living With A Cat

WHY won’t she love me?

These hilarious sketches are by 25-year-old French cartoonist Claude Combacau, from Paris.

These hilarious sketches are by 25-year-old French cartoonist Claude Combacau, from Paris.

Claude works as a graphic designer when she's not making these incredible designs. She tells us that she does have a cat of her own, whom she "loves deeply".

She says: "She's like my own child and I'm crazy about her. Her name is Ibuprofen, she's two years old, she mews a LOT and loves to destroy rolls of toilet paper, but she's not half as horrible as the character I created."

You can follow Claude on Tumblr, but trust me: you also need to check out her Instagram and Facebook.

NASA announces details of its asteroid redirection mission

by John Timmer
Philip.paulsson

Awesome.

Today, NASA held a press conference in which it described the latest developments in its plan to return an asteroid to an orbit close enough to Earth that it could easily be studied by a manned mission. Gone is the idea of returning an entire asteroid. In its place, a robotic probe will pluck a boulder from the surface of an asteroid and return that, testing our ability to redirect similar rocks if they threaten Earth.

In fact, the entire mission is generally focused on technology development. Once the asteroid is placed in a cis-lunar orbit (orbiting Earth and closer than the Moon), it will be visited by a crewed Orion capsule that will allow detailed study and a return of samples to Earth. But the focus of this mission will be testing technology that will allow extended manned missions in space.

The current timeline involves further studies of potential targets for extracting a boulder in the years leading up to 2019. Right now, three asteroids are on the menu: Itokawa (which was visited by the Japanese spacecraft Hayabusa), Bennu (which is planned for a sample return mission called OSIRIS-REx), and 2008 EV5. In each case, the orbit and composition are well-known, making them relatively low risk.

After the news broke, there were concerns about whether Lee was being exploited or not because of her health and state of mind, but an investigation by the state of Alabama found no evidence of fraud.

Once home she is forced to grapple with issues both personal and political as she tries to understand both her father's attitude toward society, and her own feelings about the place where she was born and spent her childhood.

Watchman was actually written before Mockingbird, and was thought lost until it was discovered by her lawyer last year.

The publication has proved controversial among both industry figures and readers. Lee has been in poor health since a stoke in 2007, and many are worried she is not in a fit state of mind and is possibly being exploited.

5 Pop Culture References Nobody Got in Movies and TV Shows

Wow, who knew?!
This is a quote from a book in A Song of Ice and Fire (AKA Game of Thrones):
"The galley was also where the ship's books were kept ... the fourth and final volume of The Life of the Triarch Belicho, a famous Volantene patriot whose unbroken succession of conquests and triumphs ended rather abruptly when he was eaten by giants."

He apparently is referencing the Giants beating The Patriots in the Super Bowl on their undefeated* season! Ha!
