Cornelius Heyer, Sammy Trujillo, Sam Jackson: 9 Famous Thinkers Who Were Total Hypocrites (Cracked)
If you think "hypocrite" is too strong a word for the people on this list, keep in mind that we're all hypocrites, in a way. Even the most fierce animal rights activist may really love the leather shoes some poor cow made possible. We're all human, and that's also true for the famous thinkers and activists below.
Eddie Deezen: 11 Facts You May Not Know About George Clooney (Neatorama)
At the age of 14, George took a sip of milk one day and it started dribbling out of his mouth. It was the beginning of a year-long battle with Bell's palsy, a form of facial paralysis. With his face partially paralyzed for a year, his nickname as a high school freshman became "Cloon-dog" (his face took on a droopy, Basset hound look).
Mental Floss: 18 Famous People Who Are Missing Body Parts (YouTube)
"April is Limb Loss Awareness Month. Josh Sundquist tells us about famous people who are missing a body part or two that you may not be aware of in this week's mental_floss video. Well, a few of these you are well aware of, but others may be news to you. Who knew about Ella Fitzgerald? And one actually was dead before amputation, but the story is strange enough to be included here." - Neatorama
Hop Sing was the fictional Cartwright family's cook on the US television series Bonanza which ran on the NBC network from 1959 to 1973. US born actor Victor Sen Yung played the character, who was a Chinese immigrant.
Throughout the series Hop Sing was a faithful, considerate character. The Cartwrights considered him almost family, with Hoss virtually in tears whenever the cook threatened to resign. When riled, he is often heard spouting Chinese expletives, but otherwise, Hop Sing's presence was a source of common sense. He once used martial arts to assail a threatening family foe ("Stage Door Johnnies", 7/28/68).

Lois In The Kitchen With Hop Sing In Oregon responded:
Ha ha, not really. I don't even have a kitchen. We turned it
into a compost heap along with the rest of the house. But
poor Hop Sing had a kitchen, and he never got out of it,
except to shovel food directly into Hoss, sometimes while it
was still alive. That's why you never saw any cattle on the
Ponderosa. Just nervous looking horses.
Deborah replied:
The Cartwright family cook was Hop Sing.
Which nowadays, spelled Hops Sing, could be the name of a craft double IPA.
I know, I'm hilarious.

DJ Useo responded:
Holy sneck! Just last night I was talking Bonanza with the Wife.
His name was Hop Sing. Victor Sen Yung, who portrayed him
was sadly underpaid for a show that cost the most of all the shows of it's period.
Did'ja know he was a real chef? Honestly.
Dale of Diamondy Sprungs, Norcalination, replied:
Hop Sing was portrayed by Victor Sen Young. I remember him as No. 1 son from the Charlie Chan movies. It was funny seeing him out of character. He was a native son of San Francisco. I wonder what it was like being a stereotype all of your career? That coming from one of the most terminally unique creatures that every now and then remembers that we've all got to squat to shit! If I could be a stereotypical, what would I be? That's right folks---choose your own fucking pigeon-hole.

"Hop Sing", I believe it was... Loved how he would browbeat the Cartwrights, particularly "Hoss", for any reason that he felt justified to do so. They, in turn, not knowing how to effectively deal with him, were easily cowed into submission. He coulda wound up owning "The Ponderosa" had he a mind to do so, I'm thinkin'. He was a formidable force... and a dagnab good chef, too, more'n likely.

Ancient Rome's Demise Probably Not Caused By Lead Poisoning, Scientists Say
I still hold to the theory that insists that lead was responsible for the demise of the RE, ( having read many articles advancing it for 20+ years). The conclusions reached by this latest team fail to account for concentrations that would've been ingested by the ruling classes in vastly higher amounts than the rest of the population. Lead might've been widely used in pipes, but was also the preferred material for the manufacture of cups, utensils, bowls, cooking vessels that were only available to the elite, ruling class when the lower classes used mainly pottery.
To simplify; the team collected sample pee from the entire population, when it was the ruling elite who ingested the highest ppms.
In order to establish why the Roman "nuts" ascended when they did, they need look no further than some of the ancient palaces/estates for artifacts/soil samples in their trash dumps.
Let us pity poor Caligula, who probably suckled from a gold-plated lead sippy-cup while he impregnated /disembowled his sister.
There are way too many instances in recorded Roman history that correlate directly with the introduction of lead into their society and the saturation that had to have occurred first among the upper classes.
Maybe the RE died because it was over-extended, externally threatened, politically intrigued, but the elite were certainly over-enamored with lead as a manufacture ingredient and awash in all it's by-products.
These 50 Photos From The Past Are Shocking And Hilarious. I Can't Believe How Things Have Changed...by Jake Heppner
These photographers may have never known the significance of the pictures they took and that millions would be marveling at them in the future. From thousands of images, I chose these to give us a rare and fascinating look at how different (and similar) life used to be.
As you all know the untimely passing of Terry was unexpected, even by
him. We all knew he had cancer but we all thought he had some years
left. So some of us who have worked closely with him over the years are
scrambling around trying to figure out what to do. My job, among other
things, is to establish communications with the Bartcop community and
provide email lists and groups for those who might put something
together. Those who want to play an active roll in something coming from
this, or if you are one of Bart's pillars, should send an email to
active@bartcop.com.
So - to let you know what's going on, the guestbook on bartcop.com is
still open for those who want to write something in memory of Bart.
Bart's final wish was to pay off the house mortgage for Mrs. Bart who is
overwhelmed and so very grateful for the support she has received.
Anyone wanting to make a donation can click on this the yellow donate

But - I need you all to help keep this going. This note
isn't going to directly reach all of Bart's fans. So if you can repost
it on blogs and discussion boards so people can sign up then when we
figure out what's next we can let more people know. This list is just
over 600 but like to get it up to at least 10,000 pretty quick. So

George Clooney won't tolerate insults being hurled at his "longtime friend" President Barack Obama, whether you agree with his politics or not.
The actor is setting the record straight on a heated dinner conversation he had with Las Vegas casino mogul Steve Wynn two weeks ago, which ended with Clooney calling Wynn an "asshole" and walking out.
"There were 9 people at that table … So you can ask them … Steve likes to go on rants … HE called the president an asshole … that is a fact," Clooney said in a statement about the verbal altercation that occurred at a restaurant inside Wynn's Encore hotel.
"I said that the President was my longtime friend and then he said 'your friend is an asshole'… At that point I told Steve that HE was an asshole and that I wasn't going to sit at his table while he was being such a jackass. And I walked out," added the Oscar winner.
"There were obviously quite a few more adjectives and adverbs used by both of us as I left," Clooney's statement concluded. "Those are all the facts. It had nothing to do with politics and everything to do with character."

Roger Ebert's final blog posting last April ended with his hopeful sign-off: "I'll see you at the movies." The award-winning film critic died two days later.
Visitors to the central Illinois theatre that hosts the annual "Ebertfest" film festival he started now may feel like they saw him at the movies. A life-sized bronze statue of the longtime Chicago Sun-Times critic was unveiled Thursday outside the Virginia Theatre in Champaign, which is next to Urbana where Ebert grew up.
His wife, Chaz Ebert, described the statue as "interactive art," because it shows her late husband giving his famous "thumbs up" sign and sitting between two empty theatre seats where visitors can sit.
The statue will remain outside the Virginia Theatre during this week's festival, which ends Sunday. Organizers hope to have it permanently installed outside the theatre over the summer.
Pop legend Paul McCartney is set to return to Candlestick Park to offer a swan song to the San Francisco 49ers' former stadium.
McCartney's website posted a statement Thursday confirming that the former Beatle will perform on Aug. 14 at what is being billed as the last concert at Candlestick.
His appearance became contentious last month when McCartney's worldwide concert promoter, Barrie Marshall, mentioned he had visited the 49ers' new Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara as part of negotiations about a possible opening concert there in August.
The San Francisco Chronicle reports city officials felt slighted, since San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee had personally invited McCartney to close the "Stick." The Beatles played their final paid concert there in 1966.
The Andy Warhol Museum has recovered a set of images, doodles, and photos created by the seminal pop artist on a Commodore Amiga home computer. The artworks, made by Warhol as part of a collaboration with Commodore Amiga, had been stranded on Amiga floppy disks for almost twenty years after the artist saved them in the mid-1980s. They were only discovered and rescued from their obsolete format thanks to the chance viewing of a YouTube clip.
The clip shows Warhol in 1985 at the Commodore Amiga's launch event. Warhol takes tentatively to the new hardware, perching a hand on the Amiga's mouse, before tweaking and manipulating an image of Blondie's Debbie Harry. That image is part of the collection housed at the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh, but no other records of the artist's Amiga experimentation were kept.
The video of Warhol's forays into Amiga art piqued the interest of new media artist Cory Arcangel. In 2011, Arcangel contacted Tina Kukielski, a curator at the Carnegie Museum of Art. Together, they asked Matt Wrbican, the Warhol Museum's chief archivist, if they could search for files on the artist's disks. They were also connected to the Carnegie Mellon University Computer Club, a group, as the Warhol Museum notes, known for its collection of "obsolete computer hardware" and its "prize-winning retro-computing software development."
The images they found include doodles, photographs, and experiments with Warhol's existing artworks. One image is a crude recreation of his world-famous Campbell's soup can, its proportions skewed and its colors drawn in scratchy, MS Paint-esque lines. Another piece is a three-eyed doodle on a pre-rendered version of Botticelli's The Birth of Venus.
The U.S. communications "regulator" on Thursday sought to tame an outcry over its plan to allow "fast lanes" for some content on the Internet, insisting that the agency will monitor and punish broadband providers that treat Web traffic "unreasonably." (Nudge, nudge. Wink, wink.)
The Federal Communications Commission is weighing rules that would ban Internet providers from blocking access to websites or applications, but would allow content companies to pay for faster Internet speeds delivering their traffic as long as such deals are deemed "commercially reasonable."
Consumer advocates assailed the proposal from FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler, saying it would let certain content providers pay for access to fast lanes and discourage consumers from going to competitors' sites where videos or other content may load more slowly by comparison. (Videos? Videos! This clueless doofus is in charge of the effing FCC?)
The five-member FCC will negotiate the rules (cough, cough) before they vote on May 15 to formally propose them and seek public comment.
Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday called the Internet a "CIA project" and warned Russians against making Google searches.
Putin assured a group of young journalists that the Internet was controlled from the start by the CIA and its surveillance continues today.
Responding to questions from a young pro-Kremlin blogger, Putin warned that information entered on Google "all goes through servers that are in the States, everything is monitored there".
He also made ominous comments on Russia's most popular search engine Yandex, suggesting it could become more tightly controlled.
Yandex is "partly registered abroad and not just for tax reasons, but for other reasons too", Putin said, mentioning it is partly owned by international investors and reiterating his fear of foreign control of the Internet.
US commercial oil stockpiles hit a new record last week on the strength of continued growth in oil and gas production in the world's biggest oil-consuming country.
Commercial stocks rose 3.5 million barrels to 397.7 million barrels for the week ended April 18, according to US Energy Information Administration data released Wednesday.
That is the highest level of inventories since the EIA began releasing weekly data in 1982. It is highest level of commercial stocks since 1931, according to monthly data kept by the agency.
Domestic oil production has risen to 8.4 million barrels per day compared with 7.3 million a year ago, driven by new production from oil shale deposits.

While researchers have sometimes connected weather extremes to man-made global warming, usually it's not done in real time. Now a study is asserting a link between climate change and both the intensifying California drought and the polar vortex blamed for a harsh winter that mercifully has just ended in many places.
The Utah State University scientists involved in the study say they hope what they found can help them predict the next big weird winter.
Outside scientists, such as Katharine Hayhoe at Texas Tech University, are calling this study promising but not quite proven as it pushes the boundaries in "one of the hottest topics in climate science today."
The United States just came out of a two-faced winter - bitter cold and snowy in the Midwest and East, warm and severely dry in the West. The latest U.S. drought monitor says 100 percent of California is in an official drought.

Oregon agriculture authorities are investigating the mysterious deaths of potentially thousands of honeybees along a highway, the second die-off of bees in the state in less than a year.
Officials said on Wednesday that they did not reach the site along highway 99 in Sherwood, a small city southwest of Portland, in time to document the precise number of bees.
"From what I've learned, when bees swarm, there can be anywhere from one to 10,000 in a swarm, so if that indeed was a case of a swarm of bees in the area, it could be in that range," said Oregon Department of Agriculture spokesman Bruce Pokarney.
He said officials saw dead bees in the roadway or shoulders of the road. A witness told a news station thousands of dead bees were found on Sunday.

New genetic evidence casts further doubt on the authenticity of a grisly French relic: a gourd long believed to be stained with the blood of Louis XVI.
Scientists sequenced the genome from dried blood inside the 200-year-old gourd and found that it didn't match with the DNA signatures of the king's ancestry, nor did it seem to carry the code for Louis XVI's celebrated traits, like his imposing height and blue eyes.
Deposed during the French Revolution, Louis XVI was executed by guillotine in January 1793, months before his wife, Marie Antoinette, fell victim to the Reign of Terror, too. According to legend, witnesses soaked up the king's blood with handkerchiefs after his beheading. An inscription on the elaborately decorated gourd claims the vessel held one of those bloody cloths.
Last year, a group of scientists compared the DNA signatures from blood found in the gourd with the DNA of three modern male relatives of Louis XVI from different branches of the Bourbon line. The Y chromosomes from the three men matched one another, but not the blood. This revelation, published in the European Journal of Human Genetics, sparked a new investigation.
