What's in the news?

the north korean government is very well trained. they yell and make noise until someone gives them aid supplies to shut up and go away. they have no mode of non hostile communication because hostility has always worked.

The real danger is that they might decided to nuke SK or any other nation around them. And sadly even a war where the US and its allies crush North Korea would lead to unnecessary death. And families inevitably burying their children.

The best hope would honestly be if it went the way of the Gulf War. With the coalition getting air superiority and pounding North Korean military and government targets until they surrendered.


But knowing how underhanded the kim family is, they would probably move their military out of those facilities and put civilians in instead to demonize the Coalition.

Matter of fact...didn't Sadam actually do that at one point in the war? Moving civies into a known military facility, knowing it would be bombed.

Brief summary: An 11 year old girl was at her 12 year old friend's house for a sleepover.  The 12 year dumped boiling hot water onto the 11 year old's face and shoulders in the middle of the night as a "prank".  The 11 year has suffered 2nd degree burns and is in the hospital recovering.

Oh my god that's horrible!

I'd vote for killing them with explosives hidden in porn dvd's (an updated take on the CIA's famous plan for assassinating Fidel Castro with blow-up cigars...)

This is disconcerting. I hope I haven't consumed any:

Photos of the Statue of Liberty are now an attack on Conservative values https://www.dailydot.com/unclick/jennifer-lawrence-vogue-breitbart/

Taylor Swift should win her case just because of this comeback https://www.dailydot.com/upstream/taylor-swift-trial-testimony/

When McFarland asked Swift why the front of her skirt did not appear to be lifted in the photo. Swift was not playing games when she made her jaw-dropping response.

“Because my ass is located in the back of my body,” Swift said.

And apparently in this photo his fist is accidentally touching her ribs.

[Oniya]

I had no idea that the ribs were located so low on the body.

[Orval Wintermute]

It's not widely known but Taylor Swift actually has 78 ribs, so it could be true.

That sounds plausible - I do know that there is actually only one Olsen twin, she simply vibrates back and forth at high speed to make you think there are two of them.

At his very last professional race in a major torunament, the men's 4x100 m relay race (at the IAAF events in London), Usain Bolt is struck by misfortune:  what looked like a sudden cramp at the back of one of his legs made him effectively break off his run midway through his final 100 meters, and instead the UK team raced to an amazing gold medal (and at a killer time, below 37.50 seconds).

I feel sorry for Bolt and the Jamaican team (though even if Bolt had stayed the course at his normal speed, they would have had a hard time beating the UK or the US). But nothing can detract from Bolt's stunning career over the last dozen years. The man is already a living legend.

Just as a heads up, the posts on the Charlottesville situation have been moved here so as not to take over this thread.  Thank you.

So apparantly there's a news article going around claiming that a female morgue worker and secret necrophile was finally busted when she actually got pregnant from one of the dead bodies she was supposed to be preparing for a funeral.

Link withheld because the story turned out to be a hoax, but interestingly - at least scientifically speaking - it is actually theoretically possible for that to happen. Dead men getting erections is actually a fairly common occurance, especially if they died in a vertical or face-down position, and while not as common there have been recorded cases of dead men ejaculating before they go into rigor mortis. [Usually just at random due to decay process and not any real external stimuli.]

So it is indeed possible for a woman to have sex with a dead man's corpse and get pregnant from her "partner" if he hasn't gone into rigor mortis yet. We just don't know of any cases where that definitely is what happened, for obvious reasons.


There. That's something you know now.

You're welcome.

Again proving the old saying, Rigor Mortis IS a girl best friend.

Surely the dead man's seeds would be as stiff as the rest of him? I mean, sperms actually have to swim a long way up into the cervix and still further, to reach the egg. It's not as if the egg would just fall out into a pool of male juices.

Here's what I'm curious about: have there been actual cases of female necrophiliacs? Not that I'm sexist or something, but I seem to recall from my sexology course that most of the paraphiliacs are men? So, have there been cases of women being arrested for sex with corpses?

Salome, daughter of Herod the Great, if you accept the legend. :) (The sparse verses in the Bible don't actually say that she demanded the head of St.John the Baptist on a plate and then kissed his dead lips...)

Rigor Mortis only applies to overall multicellular structure, especially with muscle tissue. Individual sperm cells don't experience Rigor Mortis.

I believe there was a study done in the 80's on convicted necrophiliacs and about 8% were female. The study drew no conclusions on if this was because nobody really knows if women are genuinely less likely to become necrophiliacs or if they're just less likely to get caught.

Yes, but a man's sperm won't survive alive and well even a couple of minutes after he's died. It wouldn't matter if it's still inside his junk or spilled out on a table from his cock.

And the sperms have to be in good shape and take a really long swim into the cervix of the woman to be able to reach where the egg is. Mere ejaculation won't do the trick.

Actually, viable sperm can reliably be harvested from a dead man up to 24 hours after death as long as the way he died didn't invokve trauma to the dick. And has been harvested as late as 36 hours after death. This harvest sperm even has been used to successfully impregnate women before.

Just, no known cases of the "harvesting" being done "naturally" for a successful pregnancy.

Hmm, I am still a bit skeptical...

And wondering what would happen if the man suffered a lethal stroke induced by a vigorous bedtime session, and the woman then continued to ride him...

Actually, we know of cases where that's happened. Just no confirmed pregnancies.
