Ever felt crushing pressure on your chest at night? Posted: 48 minutes ago by bingo
The most likely cause would be sleep paralysis.
For two University of Nevada students the cause was a car that pinned them to their bed for close to an hour driven into their bedroom at 4:00am by someone with anger-management issues who targeted the wrong house.

7-Eleven Wine Posted: 2 hours ago by bingo
These days, it seems like everybody and their uncle are making their own wines. Even 7-Eleven (yes, that 7-Eleven).
And, whoa, Yosemite Road is quite the bargain. Both the Chardonnay and a Cabernet Sauvignon will sell for $3.99 a bottle. Who needs a Trader Joe’s, anyway?

We Learn Our Language in the Womb Posted: 3 hours ago by bingo
No wonder learning a new language can be more difficult the older you get. We were learning our individual languages before we were even born.
It seems that fetuses not only warm to the sound of mother’s voice as they gestate, they also are being programmed in the direct patterns inherent in certain languages. By the time we are born, our dialect is determined.

Scheming Homeless, Parking Mafia, and Pink Tutued Meter Fairy.... Posted: 4 hours ago by bingo
....Just Another Day in Miami's Parking Hell.
One thing I like about the ‘burbs is not having to fight for cheap parking or pay through the nose for expensive spots. Not so for people in Miami. Apparently, the scarcity of parking there has created much violence, a cottage industry involving the homeless, parking mafia and even a "magical meter fairy."

Life is Hard for Man Named Harry Potter Posted: 15 hours ago by Chamale
Potter told the Daily Mail that, at first, he thought it was cool to have the same name as the whimsical wizard, but now it's just really annoying. As he told the paper, "After 12 years of it I couldn't count the amount of times I've heard 'You're a wizard, Harry.' It does wear a bit thin after a while. And I've heard all the puns about my wand."

Building with Whole Trees Posted: 1 day ago by cecilberman
According to research by the Forest Products Laboratory in Madison, run by the USDA, a whole, unmilled tree can support 50 percent more weight than the largest piece of lumber milled from the same tree. So Mr. Gundersen uses small-diameter trees as rafters and framing in his airy structures, and big trees felled by wind, disease or insects as powerful columns and curving beams.
