This woman is so courageous. I see this photo around a lot and have a bit of a story associated with it, as it happens.
In Berlin, I went to watch the Eurocup semis at the Brandenburg Gate with a Canadian girl I’d just met that day. While there, we met two American guys, an Irishman and a Swedish guy, whom we got along with well. After the match, I went clubbing with the two Americans. The one I got on with better was a footballer-type, super assertive, clearly going for the “alpha-male image” kind of guy. If I’d been at home and sober, I’d have thought he was a dick, but in this context he was fun.
So we’re at a club and we’re hooking up and eventually he’s like, “So do you want to get out of here?”
I say, “Sure,” because it’s about 3am and I could deal with some fresh air. We end up getting a cab after walking around for a while and he tells the driver we’re going to Hackesher Markt, where his hostel was. I hear this and have the wherewithal to add in German that I wanted to go to Kreuzberg, where my hostel was, first. He doesn’t give me any shit about it and we part on good terms.
Anyway, we become friends on Facebook eventually and soon after, I notice that he’s commented on this photo, agreeing with some fuck who’s said that drunk girls who flirt with guys get what they deserve if
sexrape happens later.We are not friends anymore, needless to say. For days afterwards I couldn’t stop thinking about how differently that night could have gone.

This is off the Bermuda Triangle, where 16+ ships washed up on a sand bar. The mystery is still unsolved
Actually the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle has been given a scientific explanation: methane vents which have been discovered in that region.
Methane reduces the density of water, causing ships that would normally float, to instead sink.
Methane, when in gas form, messes with the electrical components of aircraft, causing them to fail and sometimes fall right out of the sky.
Methane also causes the water to turn a ghostly greenish color, and the “ghost ships” reported to be seen are simply green reflections of the ships that scatter the bottom of the triangle.
Fucking science, man.

What would really happen if a huge asteroid hit Earth?
…the 11-ton meteorite that exploded above their city was crumbly, and shed lots of its energy as it broke apart in the upper atmosphere. It also came in at a shallow angle, so frictional forces slowed it down significantly. But what if it wasn’t crumbly, but made of iron, as other meteorites are? What if it was a little bigger? Or what if it wasn’t an asteroid, but a much speedier comet?
