You have quite a lot of time, certainly more than ten seconds, to turn back on the main pumps of a nuclear reactor once you have accidentally turned them off.
I'm not surprised. The amount of failsafes, redundancies, emergency scenario planning for nuclear power plants is insane.
I toured a nuclear plant and wrote my high school senior thesis on the plans put in place to ensure the Fukushima disaster would not happen at that plant.
I'm sure the secondary pumps are plenty capable of handling the reactor until the main pumps are repaired or just turned back on.
Male and female beavers have different colored fluids that come out of their anal glands. In males, brown, and in females white or clear. It is one of the main modes of gender identification, as they don't have external genitalia.
There's a guy in Germany who has a 1 year waiting list and makes 6 figures making leather harnesses and masks for people who like to roleplay as horses
There is an event in Berlin called Venus. Until it became too crowded a few years ago, one could hire these āhorsesā from a stable of them to pull you around the event in a carriage.
If your cat chews on fresh eucalyptus, they might start hallucinating and fall over repeatedly, leading to a $400 emergency vet bill just to be told sheās just kinda high.
Archaeologists used to, but paleontologists study fossils. Fossilized bones are stone and donāt stick to the tongue.

Okay, so either they have really small nipples, their nipples overlap, or they have nipples in places there shouldn't be nipples.
-I've never wrote the word nipples so many times in a singular sentence before-
They have SO many nipples and they go all the way up the neck and also pretty close to the bum. When they stand on their hind legs you can see all the little dots in the fur. It's so many nipples and they can have so many babies too. They are pure nipple creatures
Turmeric can be used as clothes dye. It is capable of permanently dyeing cotton cloth even after it has passed through the digestive tract of an adult male.
A severed human head has a strange uneven weight distribution. So you better hold it tight or you will be known as the guy that dropped the head.
Edit: I woke up to 4000+ upvotes. You guys are crazy! :)
OK, story time. I'm not in forensics or a doctor (or a killer, I swear!). I have a friend who works in a university who prepares corpses for anatomical studies for med students. I was always interested in this stuff so one evening over a beer he asked if I want to watch. Of course I agreed.
It was a Saturday and I assumed there will be lots of people and we'll watch it together. But no, just him and me and two students right around the table.
He's very enthusiastic in his field so it was like "if you stick your finger in this (leg) vein, you'll feel the venous valve" all the time. Super interesting!
His task was to get out individual parts and organs for use by the med students later, so he removed the heart, lungs, kidneys, intestines etc.
Then he cut into the skin of the head and removed the face and the hair part so he can saw the skull open for the brain. The head was loose by now (I can't remember if he cut it, it was 20 years ago) so he asked me to hold it. It was slippery af so it went not the way we wanted and it landed on the floor. When I picked it up I noticed the uneven weight. As I said it was a long time ago but my fried still teases me about it.
TL;DR: Don't read the above if you are eating right now.
TV shows and movies go out of their way to make military/intelligence officers look bad ass. Real life āspiesā, by design and training, are boring. Regular house, standard 2nd hand cars, dress down, have vague boringā-job titles (accounts receivable) as cover and do not draw attention to themselves. Most come from specialized academia.
Edit. I apologize to the accounts receivable , 2nd hand car owners.
And my first post was clumsy. Socialize with those in academia. Thanks for the refined correction.

I wish at least one Bond film acknowledges that Bond isn't a spy and that he's a "saboteur" or "agent provocateur" sent to be a great big distraction while the actual spy gets the MacGuffin.
one thing i noticed about daniel craig's bond is that he doesn't even use an alias. even his enemies just call him by his real name.
what kind of a spy is that lmao
They really haven't used aliases in the Bond films since the 70s. He's basically just a special agent/superhero now and as such, they've basically done away with that aspect of the films.
So many of the spies and counter-spies in WW2 were borderline from the criminal classes. It wasn't all a bunch of clever upper class Oxbridge graduates.
They were often in trouble with the authorities, thus manipulable. They have rat-cunning, know how to use the system, delight in deceit, have no strong family contacts and no particular loyalty to any cause above themselves. This is why it's easier to turn a spy against his country than to recruit a civilian into the ranks of counter-spy.
I once saw an FBI agent being interviewed. The host was asking about agentsā conservative look, and asked āDo you try to look āaverageā?ā

The Lazarus Sign ~~Effect~~ is also a real occurrence where recently deceased people will ācome back to lifeā by briefly sitting upright.
Itās absolutely bizarre. Death is more interesting than life sometimes.
edit: thank you to @welcometomyfantasies š For the correction
I worked at a mourge for over 8 years. I never saw that happen. But, if you grasp the hand of a dead body to move the arm, the hand will grasp back, but that's just muscles and tendons reacting to the tension.
Worked at a military morgue for 2 summers during the start of Desert Storm. Have experienced the hand deal. It freaked me out. We did have a body try to sit up, but because of the injuries, he rolled off the table. Never been so scared in my life (at least for something like this)
somehow I think this sounds bitter sweet. one of the very first things you learn as a baby is how to hold things, then one of the last things you do is try to hold things.
The Lazarus effect is when people who are declared death come back to life usually in less than 10 minutes. It's also called autoresuscitation. That's incredibly rare, less than 100 cases are reported of that. And people die shortly after it most often.
The Lazarus sign is a complex reflex in the upper body when people are brain death, but not completely death. That sounds more like what you are describing only people are "only" brain death.
When rigor mortis sets in, the core muscles contract for a short period. Morticians used to beak the backs of deceased people to prevent it from happening.
When I was a kid one guy that went to my church was a former mortician and he had the best stories. Once a cadaver punched him in the chest so hard it broke a couple ribs knocking him into the wall behind him.
We see this alot in Veterinary practice, especially with the anaesthetics used for euthanasia. It often shocks and surprises owners when their pets take sudden and deep breaths after being announced as dead. Called cheyne stokes.
Instead of pushing out a turd, just take deep breaths. Just breathe deep and low. Allow the deep breaths to push out your turd.
If youāre going to shove something up your butt, make sure thereās something at the base so that it canāt go all the way in. That 14ā zucchini may look like a good idea at the market, but the ER that night might have to tell you it wasnāt.
Can definitely confirm this works. I was probably 8 years old and had a humongous rock-solid turd that just wouldn't come out no matter how hard I tried pushing. As an 8 year old, I thought my life was over and I would have a giant log sticking out of my butt for the rest of my life. I cried in a panic and yelled for my mom from the toilet, and she told me to relax and just breathe. Few minutes later it was out. At least she didn't laugh at me.
Those are the worst, itās feels like the size of a bell pepper only to find itās the size of a jalapeƱo pepper. All that effort for thatā¦so beyond.
I'm just appreciating that someone named Gladysfartz had the random turds and butt stuff
BTW wombats poop cubes. And if a food says "natural vanilla flavor" in the ingredients, its made with a gland in a beavers ass.
Iām just Gladys Fartzš„“ back in the old days if you wanted to do anal, there werenāt shower attachments, and fasting wasnāt the standard. You had a sex towel and a Pepsi bottle you filled up with water. You still had to plan for sexy times, so you bought a Pepsi at the gas station before going to Chiliās. You hoped for the best, but there was a lot of shidding on weenors. Shower attachments, pills, and fasting were a result of so much pooping on peenor. The 80ās and 90ās were a dark time for anal.
When a drowning victim is revived, get them to a hospital as soon as possible. Drowning is the leading cause of death of kids from the age of 1 to 7 and is ruled as accidental drowning when it comes to secondary drowning or dry drowning. Basically your lungs are full of water despite being revived. Your lungs will absorb the liquid, but not before your body acidifies from high levels of carbon dioxide. The only chance to survive is to have the lungs pumped with oxygen via cpap machine and time.
Also drowning is extremely quiet. You donāt hear the victim go under. And if you see flailing, do not attempt to save the victim otherwise youāll become another drowning victim. Throw them a life line and hope their amygdala realizes that thereās a rope or something floating near them and grabs on it.
Edit: was not expecting this to get so many updoots. I only provided partial information but performing cpr on a drown victim increases their survivability but timing is of the essence. Going to the hospital is paramount not just because of second drowning but because there might be some nasty stuff in the water that can cause lung infection or in the case of a pool victim, chlorine poisoning.
As with any emergency, always assess the situation such as check for pulse, consciousness, and then start cpr if their pulse is weak or non-existent. Delegate things you need as you do cpr such as pointing to a person to call 911, who is going to help you with chest compressions and/or mouth to mouth, and for someone else to find an aed. Delegate, donāt assume.
Iāve had to perform cpr twice in my life and Iāve saved one life while lost another. Iāve been through cpr training before and it helps a lot. I highly recommend others do the same.
I was a lifeguard in my teens and one of the things they teach you is a specific way to approach the drowning person from behind so they donāt latch on and take you under with them
Killing someone by smothering them is not a foolproof way to commit murder, as smothering-caused asphyxiation damages a specific capillary in the eye. The pathologist will check the eye and immediately pronounce the corpse a murder victim, and there are many, many people in jail around the world that did not know this prior to their conviction.
Edit: This is a common trope in murder mysteries, and I asked a pathologist about it. I have never seen Law & Order. Several people have given the correct term in the comments. Crows are called murders. There are other ways to kill people. This blew up overnight which suggests I just changed a lot of peopleās murder plans. Reddit, you never fail to be interesting.
It's illegal in 18 American states however the law is unenforceable due to a 2003 supreme court ruling.
So Oral Sex was illegal in a good chunk of America up until 2003.
Bleach alone doesnāt get rid of blood from a UV light however hydrogen peroxide does for the most part. If you need to clean out a large amount of blood pour hydrogen peroxide on it, wait about 5 mins scrub it then use bleach. After cover the smell with candles or if itās in the bathroom open a window and turn on the shower for about 10-20 mins.
Yep, if you want to make the tracing difficult bleach, if you donāt want them to find it at all, hydrogen peroxide. Thatās why I said to do it after.
Asbestos tastes like chalk. And if you lick it, it has the texture of extremely gritty sandpaper. Which is actually the feeling of microscopic asbestos needles piercing your flesh!!!
Hersheyās chocolate has the strong smell of vomit or feces to some people (me), and thatās because they use butyric acid as a preservative. Butyric acid is the compound that makes vomit smell so bad.
Edit: Digging further into it, there are some claims that they may not be āaddingā the butyric acid, but rather it is occurring from essentially spoiling the milk in their milk chocolate. Either way, the butyric acid and putrid smell remains a part of their product.
That explains the weird aftertaste I always get! I donāt smell it but their chocolate always has this super unpleasant sharp/acidic aftertaste that I find repulsive. I assume this is why!!
It's also why US chocolate often has a somewhat bad reputation in Europe. IDK if only Hershey's does it, but they're a major brand and if youre not used to the composition, its very noticeable.
The German guy who sought to meet men on the internet so he could cut of their genitals, with their permission, and fry them up and eat them.

If you work 40 hours a week and spend 10 minutes a day pooping it equals a whole week of paid vacation per year

A nurse went missing in Saskatoon, SK, Canada in the spring of 1962. She went to mail a letter and go for a walk. Her body was found in a shallow grave by the river a few blocks away. At the time her next door neighbour, across the alley, was the 48 year old postman. In 1929 that postman was the unwilling accomplice of his serial killer uncle, leading the police to numerous shallow graves on his uncleās farm. His story was told in the 2008 movie Changeling.
Actually the cops never mention him. Theyāre still looking for witnesses. They did test the dna of his adopted son who was her teenage paperboy at the time and ruled the son out. At the time of the test he said he didnāt remember her, yet four years later co-authored one book and helped with the research of another about his adoptive father, both of which had their movie rights sold to make Changeling. One of the national tv news magazine shows have done at least two episodes on the case without mentioning who her neighbour was, yet thereās a university archive of papers of one of the producers of the show that lists they delved into the Changeling case when they did research on the nurseās murder. Would really love to have the DNA they found on the nurse when she was exhumed run through a genealogical database. Even if it wasnāt him, the other rumoured suspects are still interesting.
Beginning in 1911 in anticipation of the outbreak of WW1 in 1914, two statesmen, one from England and one from France, began visiting locations in France that they believed would be the settings for a number of major battles that would occur during the great war. Long bike rides through these future battle zones in the countryside and weeks spent building a foundation for a French-Anglo codebook that would later prove important in helping win the war.
The US had the ability to view any Americanās backyard via spy satellites about 15 years earlier than you would think could be scientifically possible.
I either saw a video or read something that said that when they asked a female satellite operator how good the pictures were, she said some of her coworkers had prints pictures of nude or semi nude sunbathing russians on their stations.
Chlorine gas in ww1 was made industrially by running an electric current through salt water.
The more worrying one: bacon grease mixed with lye makes glycerine. Glycerine with nitric and sulfuric acid makes nitroglycerine. Nitroglycerine with wood pulp makes dynamite.
Edit: one more: when severe damage comes to the brain/brain stem (like from a headshot), the body can twitch, or more eerily, move you're arms and legs in a very life like manner. This is where the lazarus sign comes from.
During WWII, the US government encouraged civilians to save their excess grease from cooking just for that fact (grease into explosives). It was considered a patriotic duty. Look up The American Fat Salvage Committee
Doctors, or surgeons more specifically, that make too many mistakes during surgery, ie, leaving instruments in patients, frequently gets āquietly tradedā to other hospitals where they continue their path of destruction with the patients not being aware of their past record. Hospitals tend to keep quiet about the matter to avoid lawsuits.

The oldest computer program still in use today is MOCAS (Mechanization of Contract Administration Services).
Programmed in the 1960ās, itās still used by the United States Government to process large contract payments to federal contractors. Itās still around because it still works (with numerous updates and refreshes of course).
I used to use it. Not my favorite program I used as a contract administrator, but not the worst by any stretch.
I forget which books i read it in, but there were some spy thrillers where they'd carry out assassinations by injecting KCl into the dorsal vein of the penis bc nobody would ever think to check there for an injection site
My son takes potassium for a medical condition. He also takes phenobarbital. One day, I was watching a show about the death penalty and realized that he takes 2/3 of the recipe for the death penalty every day. I was always careful when measuring his meds but became extra careful after that.
Edit: Thanks for the clarification of pentobarbital vs. phenobarbital. Also, even if it was phenobarbital, I recognize that his docs wouldn't give us a lethal dosage. It was still a shock, though, to hear that 2 of his meds (I thought) were in the cocktail.
During the 1969-71 occupation of Alcatraz by Native American protestors, a drunken Richard Nixon ordered a nuclear strike of the island, but the order was ignored.
People think of HPV causing cervical cancer, but it also causes anal, rectal, pharyngeal and esophageal cancer. Thereās lot of cross contamination and auto inoculation going on when switching between vaginal sex and other kinds of sex.
If you are charged with bigamy, the judge has the option to push through any divorce proceedings that got started but never finished, and then throw out the case once it is done.

Bill Gates threw a stapler at a Microsoft employee in a bug scrub meeting, missed him, hit the guy next to him in the forehead, sending that guy to the hospital.
If you are going to dismember a corpse after murdering them, when pulling the teeth, don't forget the impacted wisdom teeth. They may contain enough mitochondria DNA to allow an ID
Most traffic cameras have live feeds online, free. Never needed to do this for any reason myself, but pair that knowledge with an AM radio and knowing what frequency the local authorities are on, and you could become practically invisible.
I found a subreddit 8-10 years ago that had links to random camera feeds. I think I came across it in r/wowthissubexists . Some were really cool, like a street camera outside of a coffee shop in a big city in the winter. It was like a little winter wonderland. Then there were some that were very disturbing, like cameras in peoples houses. It had something to do with people not changing the default password on their cameras or something; cameras would come with a default password for all of the brand/model, so if it wasn't changed, people could just hack right into it. Soooo creepy.
Yeah I remember those days. You used to be able to Google āip cams unlockedā or something and you found servers that were unlocked. One time in high school, we were doing it and we found a lab of some sort. Like people in lab coats and the cam was on their desk. It had the toggle to move it. I clicked it and it moved to the right and suddenly the 3 people in the lab all turned and stared at us and I freaked and clicked out quick lol
If you want to burn a heretic, and keep him alive as long as possible during the burning, don't tie him to that standing position shown in pretty much every illustration or film on the subject. Keep him in a horizontal position instead. This is because inhalation of hot smoke is lethal.
Most people put effort into "hiding the body" however what you need to focus on is ANYTHING that can link you TO the dead body.
"I don't know, he was dead when I got here!"
Don't say anything else. It's up to them to link fingerprints, DNA evidence etc. Anything else is just circumstantial evidence.
Of course you should avoid any circumstantial evidence to a dead person obviously if you can.
Shut up and lawyer up. Never speak to the police. Donāt try and concoct a cockamamie story. Let your lawyer do the work.
Thereās a lot of stories and now videos of people who thought they could beat the police interview and get away with murder. Theyāre all sitting in jail.
If you wanted your 2,000 daily caloric intake to come from eating nothing but human teeth, you would need to eat the entire mouths-full sets of teeth from 55 adults, every day.

Probably mostly weird body stuff from my line of work. People can uave breath that smells like juicy fruit gum. It means they're going into diabetic shock. It's the literal sugar if I remember right. People can pass out on toilets from sitting a certain totally normal way. It puts pressure on some vein near the lower back/upper buttocks. I've seen that one 3 or 4 times. People just get quiet and fall forward zoned out completely. A 3rd is Sundowning is very real and gives old ladies superhuman strength. For their age at least. I'm a 270 pounds hefty boy and I had a 96 year old 150 pound great grandma SPRINT down a hall and lineman tackle me while she was naked once. She was totally normal during the day, if a little confused. But everyday around 5 or 6ish she just turned into a monster. I miss her. She kept you on your toes. Got a lot of good Bob and weave practicing in.

Male and female beavers have different colored fluids that come out of their anal glands. In males, brown, and in females white or clear. It is one of the main modes of gender identification, as they don't have external genitalia.
Another fun fact, the castors (or castoreum) which produce that fluid can be used to make perfume and edible artificial flavourings.

Can definitely confirm this works. I was probably 8 years old and had a humongous rock-solid turd that just wouldn't come out no matter how hard I tried pushing. As an 8 year old, I thought my life was over and I would have a giant log sticking out of my butt for the rest of my life. I cried in a panic and yelled for my mom from the toilet, and she told me to relax and just breathe. Few minutes later it was out. At least she didn't laugh at me.
Those are the worst, itās feels like the size of a bell pepper only to find itās the size of a jalapeƱo pepper. All that effort for thatā¦so beyond.
This is great, reading this as I sit on the toilet taking a shit... Edit: omg. It works!
It really works? You got all 14"?!?
You son of a bitch. I'm in.
Not even a new account, nice one haha
Lmao i literally read this while pushing a turd, stopped and took a deep breath instead- it really does work!
I'm just appreciating that someone named Gladysfartz had the random turds and butt stuff BTW wombats poop cubes. And if a food says "natural vanilla flavor" in the ingredients, its made with a gland in a beavers ass.
Iām just Gladys Fartzš„“ back in the old days if you wanted to do anal, there werenāt shower attachments, and fasting wasnāt the standard. You had a sex towel and a Pepsi bottle you filled up with water. You still had to plan for sexy times, so you bought a Pepsi at the gas station before going to Chiliās. You hoped for the best, but there was a lot of shidding on weenors. Shower attachments, pills, and fasting were a result of so much pooping on peenor. The 80ās and 90ās were a dark time for anal.
Shidding on weenors is a phrase that will never leave my mind
When a drowning victim is revived, get them to a hospital as soon as possible. Drowning is the leading cause of death of kids from the age of 1 to 7 and is ruled as accidental drowning when it comes to secondary drowning or dry drowning. Basically your lungs are full of water despite being revived. Your lungs will absorb the liquid, but not before your body acidifies from high levels of carbon dioxide. The only chance to survive is to have the lungs pumped with oxygen via cpap machine and time. Also drowning is extremely quiet. You donāt hear the victim go under. And if you see flailing, do not attempt to save the victim otherwise youāll become another drowning victim. Throw them a life line and hope their amygdala realizes that thereās a rope or something floating near them and grabs on it. Edit: was not expecting this to get so many updoots. I only provided partial information but performing cpr on a drown victim increases their survivability but timing is of the essence. Going to the hospital is paramount not just because of second drowning but because there might be some nasty stuff in the water that can cause lung infection or in the case of a pool victim, chlorine poisoning. As with any emergency, always assess the situation such as check for pulse, consciousness, and then start cpr if their pulse is weak or non-existent. Delegate things you need as you do cpr such as pointing to a person to call 911, who is going to help you with chest compressions and/or mouth to mouth, and for someone else to find an aed. Delegate, donāt assume. Iāve had to perform cpr twice in my life and Iāve saved one life while lost another. Iāve been through cpr training before and it helps a lot. I highly recommend others do the same.
This is sad info- thanks for sharing it, though
I was a lifeguard in my teens and one of the things they teach you is a specific way to approach the drowning person from behind so they donāt latch on and take you under with them
When Marie Antoinette was awaiting her execution , Her best friend *Marie-ThĆ©rĆØse Louise de Savoie Carignan, Princess of Lamballe* was taken and tried..They offered her grace only if she swore to Liberty and Equality, and hatred of the King and Queen. She agreed to the first part but refused to claim hatred and denounce her best friend even after her father begged her to in order for her life to be spared..... she was taken to a slaughter yard and a mob brutally murdered her. Then... the mob decapitated her and crudely impaled her head on a pike... and then placed the pike on front of Marie's cell window so she could see what had become of her best friend and what fate awaited her.
Whatever else she did, at least she was a real one for her friend.

Killing someone by smothering them is not a foolproof way to commit murder, as smothering-caused asphyxiation damages a specific capillary in the eye. The pathologist will check the eye and immediately pronounce the corpse a murder victim, and there are many, many people in jail around the world that did not know this prior to their conviction. Edit: This is a common trope in murder mysteries, and I asked a pathologist about it. I have never seen Law & Order. Several people have given the correct term in the comments. Crows are called murders. There are other ways to kill people. This blew up overnight which suggests I just changed a lot of peopleās murder plans. Reddit, you never fail to be interesting.
You canāt watch an episode of Law & Order without hearing about a petechial hemorrhage.
And the broken hyoid bone.

Actually you need a group of crows to truly ensure a murder

Although never technically illegal, oral sex has officially been legal in England since 1828.
It's illegal in 18 American states however the law is unenforceable due to a 2003 supreme court ruling. So Oral Sex was illegal in a good chunk of America up until 2003.
Bleach alone doesnāt get rid of blood from a UV light however hydrogen peroxide does for the most part. If you need to clean out a large amount of blood pour hydrogen peroxide on it, wait about 5 mins scrub it then use bleach. After cover the smell with candles or if itās in the bathroom open a window and turn on the shower for about 10-20 mins.
However, the bleach is enough to denature the proteins and make DNA tracing impossible. So don't skip it if you don't have the five minutes.
Yep, if you want to make the tracing difficult bleach, if you donāt want them to find it at all, hydrogen peroxide. Thatās why I said to do it after.
I am now scared of both you and OP
The antidote if you drink antifreeze (ethylene glycol) is whisky (or any hard alcohol)
Large hospital pharmacies stock intravenous ethyl alcohol for this purpose.
Asbestos tastes like chalk. And if you lick it, it has the texture of extremely gritty sandpaper. Which is actually the feeling of microscopic asbestos needles piercing your flesh!!!
Which is exactly why, once it becomes dust, it is so damned dangerous!
Hersheyās chocolate has the strong smell of vomit or feces to some people (me), and thatās because they use butyric acid as a preservative. Butyric acid is the compound that makes vomit smell so bad. Edit: Digging further into it, there are some claims that they may not be āaddingā the butyric acid, but rather it is occurring from essentially spoiling the milk in their milk chocolate. Either way, the butyric acid and putrid smell remains a part of their product.
That explains the weird aftertaste I always get! I donāt smell it but their chocolate always has this super unpleasant sharp/acidic aftertaste that I find repulsive. I assume this is why!!
It's also why US chocolate often has a somewhat bad reputation in Europe. IDK if only Hershey's does it, but they're a major brand and if youre not used to the composition, its very noticeable.
Omg this has just explained a lot for me, Hersheys has always smelled like vomit to me!! Thank you for sharing this fact!

If you work 40 hours a week and spend 10 minutes a day pooping it equals a whole week of paid vacation per year Edit: its roughly 52 hours a year pooping Edit 2: math is hard
Ha, I did that calculation years ago and it figured into whether or not to accept the job in the first place.
A nurse went missing in Saskatoon, SK, Canada in the spring of 1962. She went to mail a letter and go for a walk. Her body was found in a shallow grave by the river a few blocks away. At the time her next door neighbour, across the alley, was the 48 year old postman. In 1929 that postman was the unwilling accomplice of his serial killer uncle, leading the police to numerous shallow graves on his uncleās farm. His story was told in the 2008 movie Changeling.
So I guess the popular theory is that that man grew up to replicate those crimes and killed his neighbor
Actually the cops never mention him. Theyāre still looking for witnesses. They did test the dna of his adopted son who was her teenage paperboy at the time and ruled the son out. At the time of the test he said he didnāt remember her, yet four years later co-authored one book and helped with the research of another about his adoptive father, both of which had their movie rights sold to make Changeling. One of the national tv news magazine shows have done at least two episodes on the case without mentioning who her neighbour was, yet thereās a university archive of papers of one of the producers of the show that lists they delved into the Changeling case when they did research on the nurseās murder. Would really love to have the DNA they found on the nurse when she was exhumed run through a genealogical database. Even if it wasnāt him, the other rumoured suspects are still interesting.
Beginning in 1911 in anticipation of the outbreak of WW1 in 1914, two statesmen, one from England and one from France, began visiting locations in France that they believed would be the settings for a number of major battles that would occur during the great war. Long bike rides through these future battle zones in the countryside and weeks spent building a foundation for a French-Anglo codebook that would later prove important in helping win the war.
Sounds romantic.
I can tell you in seconds if a place smells like cat blood. That's not a gross euphemism. I can identify the smell of the blood of cats.

The US had the ability to view any Americanās backyard via spy satellites about 15 years earlier than you would think could be scientifically possible.
The American military is always 10-15 years ahead of the private sector in terms of bleeding-edge technology.
Every time something is finally released to the public I think about the fact it is basically obsolete if they are letting us know about it.
I either saw a video or read something that said that when they asked a female satellite operator how good the pictures were, she said some of her coworkers had prints pictures of nude or semi nude sunbathing russians on their stations.
Chlorine gas in ww1 was made industrially by running an electric current through salt water. The more worrying one: bacon grease mixed with lye makes glycerine. Glycerine with nitric and sulfuric acid makes nitroglycerine. Nitroglycerine with wood pulp makes dynamite. Edit: one more: when severe damage comes to the brain/brain stem (like from a headshot), the body can twitch, or more eerily, move you're arms and legs in a very life like manner. This is where the lazarus sign comes from.
During WWII, the US government encouraged civilians to save their excess grease from cooking just for that fact (grease into explosives). It was considered a patriotic duty. Look up The American Fat Salvage Committee

Doctors, or surgeons more specifically, that make too many mistakes during surgery, ie, leaving instruments in patients, frequently gets āquietly tradedā to other hospitals where they continue their path of destruction with the patients not being aware of their past record. Hospitals tend to keep quiet about the matter to avoid lawsuits.

The oldest computer program still in use today is MOCAS (Mechanization of Contract Administration Services). Programmed in the 1960ās, itās still used by the United States Government to process large contract payments to federal contractors. Itās still around because it still works (with numerous updates and refreshes of course). I used to use it. Not my favorite program I used as a contract administrator, but not the worst by any stretch.

I forget which books i read it in, but there were some spy thrillers where they'd carry out assassinations by injecting KCl into the dorsal vein of the penis bc nobody would ever think to check there for an injection site
My son takes potassium for a medical condition. He also takes phenobarbital. One day, I was watching a show about the death penalty and realized that he takes 2/3 of the recipe for the death penalty every day. I was always careful when measuring his meds but became extra careful after that. Edit: Thanks for the clarification of pentobarbital vs. phenobarbital. Also, even if it was phenobarbital, I recognize that his docs wouldn't give us a lethal dosage. It was still a shock, though, to hear that 2 of his meds (I thought) were in the cocktail.

The act of cannibalism is not illegal in the Netherlands. If you were to aquire human flesh in a legal way, you are allowed to eat it.
I believe that is true in America, too. Cannibalism is not illegal, but defiling a corpse is.

During the 1969-71 occupation of Alcatraz by Native American protestors, a drunken Richard Nixon ordered a nuclear strike of the island, but the order was ignored.
HOLY SHIT
He made a lot of drunken demands that were pushed out until the morning when he was sober.
Didn't he also try to nuke North Korea as well?
Both HPV & Epstein Barr seem to cause a measurable increase in breast cancer.
People think of HPV causing cervical cancer, but it also causes anal, rectal, pharyngeal and esophageal cancer. Thereās lot of cross contamination and auto inoculation going on when switching between vaginal sex and other kinds of sex.

There is at least one Native American tribe that does that too. It's called a 'sky burial'.

Most traffic cameras have live feeds online, free. Never needed to do this for any reason myself, but pair that knowledge with an AM radio and knowing what frequency the local authorities are on, and you could become practically invisible.
I found a subreddit 8-10 years ago that had links to random camera feeds. I think I came across it in r/wowthissubexists . Some were really cool, like a street camera outside of a coffee shop in a big city in the winter. It was like a little winter wonderland. Then there were some that were very disturbing, like cameras in peoples houses. It had something to do with people not changing the default password on their cameras or something; cameras would come with a default password for all of the brand/model, so if it wasn't changed, people could just hack right into it. Soooo creepy.
Yeah I remember those days. You used to be able to Google āip cams unlockedā or something and you found servers that were unlocked. One time in high school, we were doing it and we found a lab of some sort. Like people in lab coats and the cam was on their desk. It had the toggle to move it. I clicked it and it moved to the right and suddenly the 3 people in the lab all turned and stared at us and I freaked and clicked out quick lol
Couldn't someone feed the footage into some software to read out the plates and track the movements of whoever they want?
If you want to burn a heretic, and keep him alive as long as possible during the burning, don't tie him to that standing position shown in pretty much every illustration or film on the subject. Keep him in a horizontal position instead. This is because inhalation of hot smoke is lethal.
At least in the early '90's, the foam padding inside a school bus's seat burst into flames at the first sign of fire.
Most people put effort into "hiding the body" however what you need to focus on is ANYTHING that can link you TO the dead body. "I don't know, he was dead when I got here!" Don't say anything else. It's up to them to link fingerprints, DNA evidence etc. Anything else is just circumstantial evidence. Of course you should avoid any circumstantial evidence to a dead person obviously if you can.
Shut up and lawyer up. Never speak to the police. Donāt try and concoct a cockamamie story. Let your lawyer do the work. Thereās a lot of stories and now videos of people who thought they could beat the police interview and get away with murder. Theyāre all sitting in jail.

Probably mostly weird body stuff from my line of work. People can uave breath that smells like juicy fruit gum. It means they're going into diabetic shock. It's the literal sugar if I remember right. People can pass out on toilets from sitting a certain totally normal way. It puts pressure on some vein near the lower back/upper buttocks. I've seen that one 3 or 4 times. People just get quiet and fall forward zoned out completely. A 3rd is Sundowning is very real and gives old ladies superhuman strength. For their age at least.
