by chris

These days, everything we use has both camera functionality and internet access. Being the forward facing society that we are, people use that technology to do the most important things that we can think of. For the sake of the children of the future, we’re making the most vigilant effort to document literally everything we eat. Much like any other form of journalism, both the beautiful and grotesque come to the surface.

5 Weird Religious Beliefs

Fall of Mankind

In Christianity this term is referred to Adam’s and Eve’s loss of innocence after disobeying God’s instruction in Garden of Eden. Most Christian denominations believe that the fall corrupted the entire natural world, including human nature, causing people to be born into original sin, a state from which they cannot attain eternal life without the gracious intervention of God. When God created Adam and Eve, he originally made them sinless, and he intended for them to remain that way. But the eating of the forbidden fruit somehow transformed human nature. Some Christians believe that our natural tendency to sin is transmitted from generation to generation by male semen.

The Automotive Woman Theory

By: James Calloway

I had an intriguing conversation with a friend of mine the other night. We were just going back and forth quoting Sports Night and I made the comment that Jeremy (played by Joshua Malina) was way out of his league dating Natalie. Not only that, but when he and Natalie break up he dates a freaking porn star who ... wait for it ..... LIKES SPORTS! Jeremy is a computer, math guy who also has a love for sports.
