Scarlet did fully recover and was well loved and cared for until she passed away in 2008. Unfortunately, one of the kittens, a little white one, died a month after the incident from a virus. However, after 3 months of recovery, the remaining four kittens were adopted out in pairs and Scarlet herself received a loving home.

I lived in san francisco for many years so did robin it was common to see him out jogging by the golden gate bridge. once downtown i was going down on the elevator, i think it was the 101 california building, and who should get in but robin williams, i was amazed. it was just him and me on the elevator and i thought he would make some lighthearted joke or comment about being on the elevator together, you know owning the moment as only he could, but he was completely shut down and didn't say a word. i've heard this same story about him from several places, when he didn't have an audience he was very quiet and reserved but have three people staring at him and suddenly he came to life.

At first, you might not know what to do with this information. But I have two words for you: trivia night. As Jaya Saxena wrote in GQ, no one can claim to have invented "knowing random stuff for fun," but the trend gained a lot of traction in the 1970s. While the original Jeopardy! daytime game show premiered back in 1964, the nighttime syndicated version started airing a decade later, around the time when pub trivia began to take off.
Of course, pub quiz nights have evolved and a lot of that change has been organic, the first formalized version came about in 1976, when Sharon Burns and Tom Porter peddled quizzes to pubs in southern England.
At first, the idea was to give bars a way to get people inside on slow nights, but the concept of pub quiz turned into a cultural phenomenon. In the U.S., groups like Pub Trivia USA and America's Pub Quiz organize city- and state-wide competitions, often with serious cash prizes.

Burns to 90% of her body? That's amazing she survived, she had an amazing healthcare team.
"We don't want people to walk into a bar and feel like they can't contribute for a round," Cullen Shaw, co-founder of the NYC Trivia League, said. "If there's a really difficult 17th-century poetry question, maybe there's one person in the bar that knows that, but a sports question comes up after that and they let someone else answer. That's what's fun about team trivia."
But you don't even need a team to participate now. Hundreds of thousands of people log on every night to play HQ, and though the app can be glitchy at times, it hasn't stopped folks from trying to claim hundreds and sometimes thousands of dollars in prize money.

"You get a rush or a neuroreward signal or a dopamine burst from winning,” John Kounios, Ph.D., professor of psychology and director of the doctoral program in applied cognitive and brain sciences at Drexel University in Pennsylvania, told Healthline. “I think whenever you’re challenged with a trivia question and you happen to know it, you get a rush. It’s sort of like gambling.”

This is worse than it sounds- he was in the cold and dark in the capsized boat which sunk at a depth of 30 metres. When rescued he had to stay in a decompression chamber for 3 days before he could breathe normally again.
WildBerry 4 years ago (edited)
Andrew - he could breathe normally in the chamber. The reason he needed to be in it is because his body absorbed so much nitrogen from being at depth for so long. If he simply tried to be on the surface, he would get 'the bends', a condition that happens to scuba divers when they over-stay their depth limits and then come up or when they come up too fast. It's like a soda in a bottle fizzing out after you shake it... the gases (mostly nitrogen) can 'hit' any part of the body and case death or cause disability. So they regulate the pressure in the chamber and 'bring him up' slowly, as if he were doing the required decompression stops on a long dive. Many divers who work salvage and such routinely spend time in a chamber so they can lessen their underwater time to decompress.

As an amateur beekeeper, you couldn't pay me enough to get stung 23 times. Over the years I've developed such an allergy that one sting on my face makes my eyes swell shut. Also, they could have just used male (drone) bees. They can't sting, only the females can.

I seriously doubt carbon levels from human activity were of any significance in regards to global climate in the early 13th century. And for the most part, the vast areas Mongol conquests wiped people off from were not farmland but grassland - rather empty spaces from the start, then. Basically the Mongols were looking for more and more pasture for their sheep herds, enhancing their nomadic way of life all around, while fighting anyone who could threaten it.They killed so many people because they sacked and destroyed the big cities of the mighty Asian empires they had as their neighbours, but I think it wasn't very long until the populations from these regions came back to normal under their rule afterwards.

From an interview with Stallone, quote: So I said to Dolph, “We practiced one thing, [but] let’s just go at it for the first 15 seconds. I want you to try to knock me out. Just bomb away.” Well, he did. And he gets me in the corner, and he’s bombing away, and I’m tryin’ to slip the punches and then he comes with this uppercut in my chest, and I went: That hurt. Okay. Cut. Let’s finish the rest of the day. That night, I felt this thumping. It was hard to breathe. I went to the emergency room. My blood pressure was like 290, and they put me on a low-level flight to St. John’s Hospital where I was put into intensive care because the pericardial sac around my heart was swelling and impeding the beating of my heart. I was there, like I said, for nine days surrounded by nuns. Source: https://ew.com/article/2006/12/22/why_rocky_iv_is/

The M16 is a subpar weapon the Kalashnikov, but hating Communism is so ingrained in the US, we aren't allowed to have them in the US Military. Instead we have black ink Bic pens as a part of the uniform (will get in trouble if you don't) to push firing pin back when it jams. It jams all the time. They'd rather have troops in combat die from jammed weapons than buy a Communist (superior) weapon that our enemies have.

Death or injury by chimp are among the most horrific things known to man.
François Carré 4 years ago
A male chimp is 3 times stronger than a man physically. IIRC, 75 % of proteins they eat go to their body muscles, while it is less than 30% in the human body, the rest going to our big, enlarged, demanding and rather psychotic brain. That's also why chimps and humans look so different, in spite of being genetically so close : our metabolisms are not the same at all.

It's not necessarily a bad thing either. It's awful if you feel pressured into plastic surgery to match some kind of beauty standard, but it's perfectly fine if you just want to change your face because you like it better this way. Body autonomy and all that you know?

Several years ago, a man in China sued his wife for fraud. Their child looked like neither of them, and he accused the child of being very ugly. The wife finally admitted to having had extreme plastic surgery, such that the child did look like her original self. I have no idea what was the outcome of the case though.

So their future kids who inherit their parent's unaltered genetics presumably have to undergo cosmetic surgery too?
Joann Casey 4 years ago
This seems a bit unlikely, it takes weeks for the swelling to go down from facial plastic surgery and if they have rhinoplasty with lateral osteotomies they would need to wear either a Plaster of Paris or a thermoplastic splint to keep the bones in place while they heal, it would be more believable if they had trouble getting through customs because their faces were bruised and swollen and they had casts on their noses. I appreciate new techniques such as Piezosurgery reduces the soft tissue damage compared with traditional 'cold steel' but there is still some swelling. I am an operating room nurse for facial plastics and ENT surgery. You don't wake up from surgery fully healed, and an extended stay in another country would be very expensive.
