Khmer Rouge was the name given to the followers of the Communist Party of Kampuchea in Cambodia. It was formed in 1968 as an offshoot of the Vietnam People's Army from North Vietnam. Pol Pot was the leader of the Khmer Rouge and dictator of Cambodia.
The Khmer Rouge government arrested, tortured, and eventually executed anyone suspected of belonging to several categories of supposed "enemies". One of then included professionals and intellectuals.
This included almost everyone with an education, or even English-speaking people or people wearing glasses (which, according to the regime, meant that they were literate).
Ironically, Pol Pot himself was a university-educated man with a taste for French literature and was also a fluent French speaker. Many artists—including musicians, writers, and filmmakers—were executed.
An American Airlines flight from Washington to Dallas was forced to land in Nashville after a Dallas woman lit her flatulence to disguise its odour. Several passengers had noticed a suspicious smell.
The Dallas woman, who had ignited her fart in the lavatory, was not forthcoming about the burning smell noticed by other passengers. All passengers and crew disembarked while the plane and luggage were searched.
A bomb sniffing dog located her spent matches and the woman admitted to lighting her fart to disguise odor after "lengthy questioning" by the FBI. She said her flatulence was caused by a medical condition.
After the flight resumed, the woman was not allowed back on the plane.
IT’S NICOLAS CAGE’S 50TH BIRTHDAY!!! Let us pray.

Both running and cycling are excellent forms of exercise. Both are rhythmic aerobic activities that involve large muscle mass.
But there are differences, which could sway you toward one activity over the other. In general, running burns more calories per minute than cycling.
Someone weighing 150 pounds who runs at a brisk seven minutes per mile will incinerate about 1,000 calories per hour. That same person pedaling at a steady 16 to 19 miles per hour will burn about 850 calories.
Meanwhile, walking requires far fewer calories (only about 360 per hour at a 4-mile-per-hour pace).
But running has a downside: Injuries are common. Biking is much gentler. Because your body doesn't have to support it's own weight on the bike, it is better for your knees and joints.
If you want to maintain muscle strength and go lose fat with fewer injuries, try cycling instead.
Located in Brevard County, Florida, the area code 321 moved from suburban Chicago because of a successful petition by Robert Osband. Osband hoped to commemorate the many launches and the impact of the Space Coast on Brevard County. The three digits are a reference to the countdown before launch!
The slogan of Scotland was, before 2007, the "Best Small Country In the World." While not particularly clever or catching, it seemed to ruffle a couple of feathers within the country. So much so, numerous petitions were signed and 125,000 pounds were given to the Tourist Board to create a new slogan. And what ingenious phrase did they think of? "Welcome to Scotland." Do you think it's deserving of 125k pounds? Tell us in the comments!
I just assume these are all fake now. Still funny.
Sir Ernest Henry Shackleton was a polar explorer who led three British expeditions to the Antarctic, and one of the principal figures of the period known as the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration.
Away from his expeditions, Shackleton's life was generally restless and unfulfilled. In his search for rapid pathways to wealth and security, he launched many business ventures and other money-making schemes, none of which prospered. His financial affairs were generally muddled; he died heavily in debt.
In 1914, he ran an ad in a London newspaper for a Trans-Antartic exploration. The ad read: “Men wanted: For hazardous journey. Small wages. Bitter cold. Long months of complete darkness. Constant danger. Safe return doubtful. Honor and recognition in case of success. – Sir Ernest Shackleton.
Since we were little, we’ve been taught how to count them, how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide. What they probablyhaven’t told you is this curious fact about numbers.
In English, the name of every number shares a letter with each of its neighbors. One shares an O with two, which shares a T with three, which shares an R with four, which shares an F with five, which shares an I with six—and so on indefinitely.
C’mon ladies, just because Santa brought you lumps of coal for Christmas doesn’t mean you need to smuggle them in your panties. Those aren’t the lovely lady lumps people refer to anyway.

Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte, and Samantha dated and slept with more than 100 different men over six seasons. Here’s a ranking of all of them based on dateability: the good, the bad, and The Turtle.
Paired with: Samantha
First appearance: Season 1, Episode 9, "The Turtle and the Hare"
The verdict: The Turtle was Samantha's PR project. She was determined to turn one of New York's richest but most repugnant bachelors into someone dateable. And it worked — so well, in fact, that he decided to move onto someone new.
HBO
Paired with: Samantha
First appearance: Season 3, Episode 8, "The Big Time"
The verdict: Unctuous Len was an act of desperation, someone Samantha turned to when she thought she was going through menopause. Once she got her period, she bailed.
HBO
Paired with: Samantha
First appearance: Season 2, Episode 4, "They Shoot Single People, Don't They?"
The verdict: William was a total sleaze who promised to take Samantha on expensive vacations and turned out to be full of shit. But that should have been immediately apparent based on that smile alone.
HBO
Paired with: Charlotte
First appearance: Season 2, Episode 12, "La Douleur Exquise!"
The verdict: Buster and Charlotte didn't really date — he just let her try on some very expensive shoes for the chance to be close to her feet. It was a fine arrangement for a while, until it got too creepy.

SoundJam MP was an early Mac OS compatible MP3 player and Rio-compatible hardware synchronization manager that was released in July 1998 and was available until June 2001.
Jeff Robbin and Bill Kincaid developed SoundJam MP with assistance from Dave Heller. Prior to working together on SoundJam MP, Jeff Robbin and Bill Kincaid had worked for Apple in the 1990s as system software engineers assigned to the Copland operating system, a project that was abandoned before completion.
Apple, Inc. purchased SoundJam MP in 2000 and further developed the code to create iTunes version 1.0.
The struggle is real.

One famous early sufferer was King Charles VI of France who refused to allow people to touch him, and wore reinforced clothing to protect himself from accidental “shattering”.
One day when he was riding with his army, one of his soldiers dropped their lance. Thinking it was an ambush, Charles attacked his own army, killing several men in the process. By this time it had become quite clear that the stress had caused the king to lose his mind.
Charles spent the rest of his days with bouts of insanity, hiding in a corner because he thought he was made of glass, forgetting who he was, and roaming the halls of his castle howling like a wolf!
