    There's a pretty good Adam Ruins Everything about circumcision. Conclusion was there is not a right answer whether or not to do it, as there are health and sex issues that favor both (though the modern movement started out of pseudoscience.)

    Same episode also deals with herpes (not as massive a deal as usually made out to be; the reason so many people have it is because many have no or only mild symptoms) and, most infamously, the female hymen, and how checking it to prove virginity is bullshit.

    I’m still amused someone thought “You know what this extremely poisonous toxin would be good for? Injecting into muscles to paralyze them to get rid of wrinkles”. Let alone getting it injecting in ... that area.

    There's a few actual medical treatments that use Botox. But paralyzing the facial muscles to force them to relax so there's no wrinkles is definitely not the original idea.

    Experts believe the huge bird was around 1 metre tall and weighed around 7kg.

    I just looked it up. According to Wikipedia 2ng of the deadliest version can kill an adult human. So multiply that by 7.5 billion and you get 15 grams. Damn I was misremembering by an order of magnitude. Of course that is for the deadliest version administered intravenously. Inhaling one of the weaker versions and accounting for the ld50 you would need a few kgs.

    On the one hand in modern times they might learn to imitate action movie one liners as the murder.

    "It was nice to beak you."
    "No hard feelings, I killed you just beclaws."

    On the other hand there's the possibility they'd learn to imitate voice chat of competitive multiplayer games and we'd be eviscerated by large birds spewing racial slurs as they livestreamed our deaths.

    I had a reef tank for a while. I struggle to imagine how they managed to keep the stuff without realizing it was alive. You've got to keep powerful halogen lights on it and out special stuff in the water for it and most aquarium corals are relatively fast growing.

    My tank also put me in the hospital. I saw something tiny and translucent on the glass and wiped it off my hand. Turned out to be some kind of nudibranch that rode in on my liverock. Too small to kill me, but felt like I was having a heart attack for hours. There is a treatment that covers a lot of marine invertebrate poisons, but no hospital this far from the ocean stocks it so all they could do is monitor me and keep a crash cart in my room.

    It's not airborne. More likely it's in the water and scrubbing the tank splashes or forms a mist.

    This is in Dutch, but it's hilarious

    "Police accidently sends SMS with link to Porn website"

    In the Netherlands, the police have the ability to send SMS messages to a zones around telephone poles.
    In the city of NieuwLeusen, the police wanted to do this.
    There had been a fire, with suspicion of arson. So they set up a special form, composed a message asking for witnesses.
    They used bit.ly to shorten their URL.

    Unfortunately, their total message was 142 characters long, and it ended in the bit.ly/ url
    Their software automatically shortened it by cutting off the last 2 digits of the link
    That bit.ly link was a porn website
    A small comfort: The website did have an "Are you 18+ splash screen"

    Reinforcing my personal policy of never having a pet that could kill you on accident.

    To be fair, I'd broken a pretty serious rule of reef tanks: If it's alive and you aren't ABSOLUTELY SURE you know what it is, leave it the fuck alone. You can get all kinds of horrors on live rock or coral fragments. Captively grown coral and cultured live rock help, but since at some point the seed material has to come from nature, you never know what else is living on it. Had I left that nudibranch alone it probably would have gotten eaten before too long, or just up and died before it got big enough to be a danger. I had to go and squish it like a dumbass.

    I got lucky, though. Reef aquariums are potential horror shows. Fresh water, the worst thing that can happen to you is pond snails, and they're pretty harmless (and skunk loaches will mercilessly hunt them all down if you hate it). Salt water, you might build a nice pretty tank and then one day realize some egg that came in on your corals or live rock grew into something like this:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-JWkiIozGI
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=refnOdW49rw

    I've gone back to freshwater. Love my planted tank, huge and cheap to run (except when I get on a spree of adding fish and drop a couple paychecks into it). That reef tank was small and cost almost as much as one of my kids.
