Will Ferrell’s Tour of The Future [PICs+VID]

Where is the Future?

…It’s almost certain that the future will not have dog bark translators, rocket packs for everyone (dangerous idea), time travel (please!) and AI that takes over the universe and annihilates all carbon units (we will always be their masters). No need to despair though, because the future will be better. Much better.
.
Imagine vehicles that that can move silently at tremendous speeds without any visible means of propulsion and that can negotiate right angle turns without slowing down and without incurring any damage due to inertial effects. Imagine traveling from New York to Beijing in minutes, or earth to Mars in hours. Imagine floating above the rings of Saturn or the craters on Jupiter’s moon, Iapetus. Imagine unlimited clean energy for everybody and their pets and legions of robotic servants zipping around the earth and the solar system, tending to our every need and whim. Well, it will all happen in your lifetime and here is why.

A new analysis of the causality of motion reveals that we are swimming in…

Eleven Great Playable Video Game Satires

They’re games, but they’re also parodies of games. Sweet!

…better than creator Ian Bogost himself: “You get a cow. You can click on it. In six hours, you can click it again. Clicking earns you clicks. You can buy custom ‘premium’ cows through micropayments (the Cow Clicker currency is called ‘mooney’), and you can buy your way out of the time delay by spending it. You can publish feed stories about clicking your cow, and you can click friends’ cow clicks in their feed stories. Cow Clicker is Facebook games distilled to their essence.” Plus you don’t even need Flash…

Gum Disease May be Linked to Alzheimer’s Disease

Periodontal disease may signal increased risk of cognitive dysfunction associated with Alzheimer’s disease, New York University researchers found.

…NEW YORK, Aug. 5 (UPI) — Periodontal disease may signal increased risk of cognitive dysfunction associated with Alzheimer’s disease, New York University researchers found.
Study leader Dr. Angela Kamer and colleagues conducted a meta-analysis involving 20 years of data that supports a possible causal link between periodontal disease, or gum inflammation, and Alzheimer’s disease, which involves brain inflammation.
“The research suggests that cognitively normal subjects with periodontal inflammation are at an increased risk of lower cognitive function compared to cognitively normal subjects with little or no periodontal inflammation,” Kamer said in a statement.
Kamer’s team then compared cognitive function at ages 50 and 70, using the Digit Symbol Test, a part of the standard measurement of adult IQ.
The researchers did an analysis of periodontal inflammation and cognitive function in 152 subjects in the Glistered Aging Study, involving Danish men and women over a 20-year period ending in 1984, when the…

States That do not Nickle and Dime You on Taxes

Want to make your retirement dollars go further? Move to these states to reduce your tax bite.

…Source: sxc.hu Photo: ctoocheckOne of the things that can eat into your retirement funds is taxes. No matter where you live in the U.S., you will have to pay federal taxes. However, state income and sales taxes are a completely different matter. These taxes vary according to where you live, and can make a big difference how much money you have to use at your disposal during retirement. Kiplinger offers a really great interactive map that offers insight into states where the tax situation can make retirement more desirable. Here are some of the results:No income taxesIf you want to avoid income taxes altogether, you can try moving to Washington, Nevada, Alaska, Texas, South Dakota, Wyoming or Florida. It is also worth noting that New Hampshire and Tennessee only tax interest and dividends, so other income is safe. These states can provide you with a way to avoid paying state taxes on your hard-earned income. Watch out, though: Only New Hampshire and Alaska have no sales tax to go with their lack of income…

The 6 Greatest Things Accomplished by Dead Bodies

Here’s a bunch of corpses that did like 10 times more than you did while you were alive.

…4.
Get Several Dozen Women Pregnant

Canadian lawyer and investor Charles Vance Millar was renowned for his love of practical jokes, his affable nature, his intelligence and his ruthless business acumen: He set up his own law office and eventually used the profits to purchase the British Columbia Express Company, which provided most of the transport to settlers in the region. He had an uncanny knack for picking the right investment, and over a period of 10 years, his net worth rose from $100,000 to $750,000 (that was a lot back in 1897).

That could buy you many monocles.
In his later years, Millar really made a name for himself when his actions changed the lives of some lucky locals forever: He started a competition with the end-goal of taking people from their dreary normal lives and propelling them into the limelight, kind of like a turn-of-the-century American Idol. Only instead of singing, it was humping, and instead of Simon Cowell, it was presided over by a corpse.
Have fun with that mental…

14-year-old girl begins attempt to sail around the world - C

A 14-year-old Dutch girl set sail Wednesday morning on a journey to travel around the world.

…Sailing

(CNN) — A 14-year-old Dutch girl set sail Wednesday morning on a journey to travel around the world. Laura Dekker left her home port of Den Osse at 9:10 a.m., her spokesman Peter de Lange confirmed. “She will arrive in Portugal, near Lisbon, in two or three weeks,” de Lange said. “She is traveling in her yacht, Guppy, with her father until Lisbon where she will start the official solo sailing trip around the world.” Dekker’s attempt to circle the globe hasn’t always been smooth sailing. Last August, Dutch authorities placed Dekker under state care for two months after her parents refused to prevent her from undertaking the potentially dangerous voyage. Last October, a Dutch court ruled against letting Dekker sail solo around the world, saying she is not experienced enough to make the trip on her own. However, she would be allowed to travel this year if she fulfilled certain requirements the court established for her to sail. Dekker is seeking to become the youngest person to sail solo around the…
