Rubiks cube is still a big deal. The world record shortest average time and shortest single time for solving it were both set just a few weks ago by some dude and it was 11.28secs(av) and 8.72secs(single).

The average time is the average of the middle 3 of 5 attempts. Cubes are initially scrambled by moving them 40 times and rubbed with petroleum jelly for ease of insertion I mean twiddling.

thank you, helcyon, for that rather crude (yet titillating) mental image. now i have to go and attempt to set the record for solving a rubix cube using only the muscles in my colon.

An erogenous zone referred to commonly as the G-spot is located at the anterior wall of the vagina, about five centimeters in from the entrance. Some women experience intense pleasure if the G-spot is stimulated appropriately during sexual activity. A G-Spot orgasm may be responsible for female ejaculation, leading some doctors and researchers to believe that G-spot pleasure comes from the Skene's glands, a female homologue of the prostate, rather than any particular spot on the vaginal wall.

More than 100 years ago, the felt hat makers of England used mercury to stabilize wool. Most of them eventually became poisoned by the fumes, as demonstrated by the Mad Hatter in Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland. Breathing mercury's fumes over a long period of time will cause erethism, a disorder characterized by nervousness, irritability, and strange personality changes.

Botox rules!

If anti-perspirant isn’t keeping you dry this summer, resulting in those oh-so-attractive pit stains, botox might be the new trendy answer.

Botox, short for Botulinum toxin, is a neurotoxin protein produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. Though it is one of the most poisonous substances in the world, specialists use it in very small amounts to stop muscle spasms and most commonly to smooth out facial wrinkles by paralyzing the muscles that cause them to form.

Botox also is used to treat:

migraine headaches
uncontrollable blinking
crossed eyes
certain pain disorders
and several disorders that cause repeated muscle twitching.
