In any other thread that link should probably be deleted. But damn if it, and Bala's comments aren't funny.

Also props for that post on Where the White Man Went Wrong.

I debated posting that link but it is a medical device.

Denmark bans Marmite
Denmark has banned Marmite on the grounds that the spread's Vitamin B fortification puts it into conflict with Danish food safety regs.

I ate some of these at a Grateful Dead concert and talked to some guy who didn't believe in unicorns.

Dan Awesome is right. That guy lived about 10 lives in his short lifetime.

Did you know they found his re-incarnation? He's now a chipmunk.

Speaking of guys with balls the size of melons. Here's high diver Dana Kunze's 172' dive into a pool. Just the bird's eye camera view looking down scares the crap out of me. Though this record has been topped, the guy that did it actually broke his leg upon hitting the water even though he executed the dive perfectly.

Found it. Randy Dickison was the guy who broke it. Report said "multiple fractures" upon entering the water.

I like the comment "this guy has no pubes cuz pubes cant grow on steel".

Tycho Brahe was a pretty cool cat. Aside from being an astronomer, he had a pet elk and kept a psychic dwarf named Jep under his employ.

from the book Tycho Brahe: a picture of scientific life and work in the sixteenth century:

...The other was his fool or jester, a dwarf called Jeppe or Jep, who sat at Tycho’s feet when he was at table, and got a morsel now and then from his hand. He chattered incessantly, and, according to Longomontanus, was supposed to be gifted with second-sight, and his utterances were therefore listened to with some attention. Once Tycho had sent two of his assistants to Copenhagen, and on the day on which they were expected back the dwarf suddenly said during the meal,” See how your people are laving themselves in the sea.” On hearing this, Tycho, who feared that the assistants had been shipwrecked, sent a man to the top of the building to look out for them. The man came back soon after and said that he had seen a boat bottom upwards on the shore, and two men near it, dripping wet. … When any one was ill at Hveen, and the dwarf gave an opinion as to his chance of recovery or death, he always turned out to be right.
