It has long been assumed that the behavior of teenagers, driving too fast, engaging in unprotected sex, dabbling in illicit drugs, is due in part to their disregard for mortality. Teens usually operate under the presumption that they know it all and will live forever.

Or, do they? picked by bingo 5 months ago

Like the things listed here, for example. picked by kakana 3 months ago

A new report from the Center for an Urban Future confirms the obvious: the so-called middle class can no longer afford to live in New York and are relocating in large numbers to the exburbs or far-flung cities like Houston, where $50,000 a year gets you the same standard of living as a $123,322 salary does in Manhattan picked by suebe 10 months ago

... advice from the Dalai Lama, a truly amazing person, whom I admire.
OK, so you are a Christian (doesn't matter which brand) or a Muslim (doesn't matter with variety), a Jew, an atheist, or whatever. I wish we could all of us on this planet just live by this man's set of guidelines. picked by rambler 2 years ago

I chose the potato to portray human faces because of the many striking parallels. Not only is their skin porous like ours, but their skin texture and color is very similar, and like us, they come in different sizes, shapes and forms.

The study was only a small proof-of-principle test, and its approach is not practical on a large scale. However, it shows that scientists may finally be on the right track to developing an effective vaccine against one of mankind's top killers.

The GOP in Michigan wants to keep people with foreclosures from voting and might do so under a technicality. Ironically, most of these people are African American and live in a swing state. Interesting, no? picked by murfanda 1 year ago

The downtown core of big cities across the Americas, Europe and Asia are the cultural pulse and economic engines of urban regions where millions of people live. All urban "life" begins and ends, each day and night under the watch of the city's tallest skyscrapers and most grand architectural structures. So kick back and appreciate the view that they have to offer... picked by sholom22 2 years ago
