I was just listening to NPR in my car (I have no idea why) and they were about to go into a story about "unbreakable guitar strings." I was intrigued by that story but I couldn't get the chance to finish listening to it.

I can't imagine how grimy those strings would be after about a year.

A friend gave me the tip to spray WD40 on the strings and then wipe them off to prevent that.

idk if it's true but ive been doing it ever since then and i noticed it does help a little.

Awhile ago i heard some girl posted some pics blowing smoke from a Blunt to her baby which oddly enough wasn't my first time hearing that sort of thing but it wasn't until today i actually saw the picture



I may have a heartless misogynist rep around here but i have a 4 old daughter who i luv with all my heart and want to raise right and seeing this baby suffer through this makes me wanna seriously harm that woman.

How can she do that to her own son?

This is the kind of stoner behavior that makes other stoners look bad,
i smoke weed BUT I HAVE NEVER even for a single second thought of doing something like this to her much less post it proudly on FB

but that's not my real problem, my real problem is with the parenting issue

I couldn't even begin to tell you how much fucked up stuff I've seen happen to kids in my line of work. It's nauseating.

this is a weird one, apparently this mummified girl who has been dead for a like a 100 hundred yrs now, everyday opens and shuts here eyes..

Rosalia Lombardo: The Child Mummy

i originally found the article in spanish which went into more detail and there is actually a scientific explanation for this phenomenon

apparently something about the flash of the camera combined with the humidity around her causes this to happen.
idk if that's true but that's the scientific explanation they came up with

It's one building, I don't know that I'd hold it against the entire nation of Canada.

There is also an underpass full of those same spikes but you can always hold one small thing against a whole nation.

Canadians do it all the time!

Where? This is the first time I've heard of this, and plus it's only ONE building in ONE city...

Everyone on MB knows you hate Canada anyways so I can't say your opinion surprises me.

That's terrible. Why would anyone hate Canada? It's like hating your retarded cousin.

I mostly like just teasing you about living in Canada just like you constantly crap on the US.

Hate is such a strong emotion for something that isn't that serious.

I got the impression they were placed at underpasses from this photo but it could be lumped in with a place in London.

According to a Canadian homeless advocacy group, anti-homeless spikes are relatively common and have even made occasional appearances in Canada.
"I've seen them around, I've seen them here in Calgary and I've seen them in other cities around Canada," Tim Richter, head of the Canadian Alliance to End Homelessness, told Yahoo Canada News.
"Typically outside high-rise buildings. It is the same kind of thing that lots of places do to deter skate boarding. The last time I saw them was right outside a C-train station in Calgary. They are unfortunately fairly common."
So no it's not just one city and not one building.

First person to fall over and injure themselves on those spikes is going to make a small fortune in compensation.

even though i call bullshit on those two articles....this is really happening and it's sickening

there is an underpass in downtown Seattle that has "art" under it....which just happens to be huge concrete spikes

Nice insight into how news is manufactured, bob!

In fact, isn`t the whole thing a complete non-story ? Yes, the spikes are potentially hazardous and definitely shouldn`t be allowed where children or other unlucky innocents could hurt themselves. But anti-homeless devices date back to the earliest days of construction and have been accepted without outrage: English castles have moats and American houses have white picket fences. Other anti-homeless devices include 45º ramps (US embassy in London) and cactus hedges (poor Mexican householders). So, yeah, the spikes should go for safety reasons and the property owner could think green and plant some shrubs instead -but trying to generate a trans-Atlantic scandal out of one doorway is not exactly responsable journalism imo.
