Overnight Open Thread (20 Jul 2013)

I think we now know why La Raza wants nothing to do with standing up for an exonerated hispanic man. Via dri in the sidebar, $300 million in slush funds for immigration rights groups. Cash and political power trumps standing by someone who they're supposed to support. At least according to their website. Are those just words?

Spying Pop Quiz

This will be a bit more challenging than last weeks pop quiz. How well do you know the world of spying? Take the CIA/NSA quiz.

Candy Profiling

This candy profiling is out of control. First it was Skittles and now it's Snickers.

Drone Hunting Season

I guess those fake CA drone highway patrol signs spooked some folks.Colorado town to consider drone hunting license, bounty. Take that Skynet but I think the Hellfire missile wins. And maybe the FAA as they warn folks not to shoot at drones.

If Idioms Were Real

Play Date Consultants

Damn I'm in the wrong line of work. $400/Hour "play date" consultants for rich kids who suck at playing with others.

Sex Addiction

I wasn't buying the addiction part anyway. New brain study questions existence of "sexual addiction".

We found that the brain’s response to sexual pictures was not predicted by any of three different questionnaire measures of hypersexuality. Brain response was only predicted by a measure of sexual desire. In other words, hypersexuality does not appear to explain brain differences in sexual response any more than just having a high libido.

In related news, the "I have a headache" excuse won't work anymore as science determines that sex is better for headaches than painkillers.

Facials

Of course it's from Japan. You 'ettes ready for some snail facials?

Doomsday Prep

Somehow, I don't think I'll be able to qualify but a Merkava tank would be pretty kick-ass thing to have. Israel to sell F-16's and Merkava tanks at auction.
