So I had a subscription to National Geographic when this issue came out (mid 00's I think). I remember getting it and being like 'WTF NG?' And then opening to the article and seeing that giant 'NO.' Made me happy.

Orgasm Machine Now Ready to Solve All World's Problems

In the latest case of life-imitates-porn-cliché, a surgeon claims he's invented a machine that allows women to give themselves instant, remote-controlled orgasms. As long as they're cool with having electrodes implanted on their spines, anyway.

This Ring Controls Everything, Is Not Evil [Video]

by Nicole Wakelin
Darendukes

Cool idea.

ring_Upload

Rings that control everything tend to be evil, but this ring has only good intentions. It uses a Bluetooth signal to connect to all kinds of devices that you can then control with simple finger gestures that can be customized. Compose text messages, play music, turn on your television and even get phone notifications through a series of lights and vibrations. This project is currently on kickstarter where it has blown right past its goal, but you can still get in on the action with a pledge of $165 or more.

(VIDEO) The Rolling Revival Bus is here to help you with your hangover

by Carol Nelson
Darendukes

Wow. I can't believe this is an actual thing.

The Rolling Revival is hitting the streets of Austin for South by Southwest.  But, it's NOT a religious gathering.  It's a new service that helps drunks fight off a hangover and this week they expect to be very busy.

The Rolling Revival Bus cures hangovers.  Michelle Eades is the director of the controversial mobile hydration clinic business, "We're not treating people that are drunk.  We're not treating people that are currently drinking.  We're just treating people that are just hung over or just dehydrated."

 

Eades says people getting the intravenous saline treatment say they feel much better in a matter of minutes.  She says she got the idea when she had to shut down her other business because of South by Southwest, "We saw these people that are drunk and they're hurting.  But they still want to go out because their visitors in our town, and they want to enjoy their vacation.  So we thought 'Why not treat the hangover'?"

Some critical of the service say it could encouraging more over-drinking.  She says for the South by southwest festival, they're rolling clinic will be set up along Congress Avenue.  The treatments start at about $99.00.

Mass Effect N7 Leather Jacket Coming Soon

by Stefan A. Slater
Darendukes

Nice looking jacket. Kinda nerdy.. but nice.

jacket-me-n7leather-lifestyle

Commander Shepard from Mass Effect rocked some pretty spiffy N7 armor, but do you know what might’ve looked better? Leather. Probably would’ve offered very little protection from lasers, but it would’ve looked really stylish.

Indeed, Bioware will soon release a limited edition leather jacket with all of the classic N7 markings. It’s currently available for preorder, and it should ship in April. But reserve your jacket quickly, folks: they only have 600 and they’re going to go pretty fast!

Check out some more images of the jacket after the break…

A newly published study found no transmission of HIV from positive people on antiretroviral drug therapy (with resulting "undetectable" viral loads) to their negative partners. That's huge. This piece on the study states, "No transmissions is not the same as zero chance of transmission." Pretty fucking low, regardless.

Wow, that van gets tossed around like it's nothing.
Also, postpartum depression can be a horrible horrible thing. (that last part is pure speculation on my part for the reasoning behind this)

After a pregnant woman drove herself and her three children into the ocean in Daytona Beach, Florida, rescuers sprang into action. Not only did they have to get four people out, they had to do it with the minivan bucking and swaying in the waves. This is both heartbreaking, and astonishing.

I used the word 'sagacious' just the other day.

The SAT is ditching its essay requirement to return to the 1600-point scoring scale. But that's not all: It's also dumbing itself down by removing some of the more obscure and difficult vocabulary words, like ''prevaricator'' and ''sagacious," in favor of more commonly-used words.

Watch Jimmy Kimmel Repeatedly Humiliate Rob Ford To His Beet-Red Face

by Rich Juzwiak
Darendukes

For Eric. At least watch the first video!

In a surreal moment of television and civilization as we know it, Toronto mayor Rob Ford withstood three full segments of Jimmy Kimmel's abuse as a guest on tonight's Jimmy Kimmel Live. Kimmel took the opportunity to confront Ford with several memorable moments in recent Ford history, like the drunken Jamaican accent thing and him steamrolling Toronto City Councillor Pam McConnell . Commenting on his greatest hits (except for those from the crack pipe), Ford sweat, muttered, and made only sporadic eye contact, like a nervous fifth grader talking to his crush. "I have a lot of Jamaican friends, and that's how we speak in a private setting," he told Kimmel of his patois. Ford's face was just a few shades lighter than his Santa-red tie.
