Markus Persson (Notch) also gave away the bonus that he made in 2011 (around $3 million) to his employees..all 25 of them
Themidge22
I have always been a big Lenovo fan
puttputtinthebuttbutt
I feel a lot better about buying a lenovo laptop!
HerHighnessMySpleen
It's my birthday imgurians!
GoBlue
Is it bad that I laughed about how the New Zealand trucker recovered?
ilovetanktops
About fudging time, I've been waiting for that site to get up off its ass for a month now!
magneticgumby
Left out: Benavidez stepped on a landmine, was told he'd never walk again, and through self-administered PT, taught himself to walk again.
WaitingToBeAmused
Can't believe they haven't made a movie about him.
KNOWLEDGEisPowerwastaken
So... Cockle bread was full with curly hairs? Think I'll pass...
KevinCardinale
Several of these have NOTHING to do with the 25th of February. I still liked them all, but several of these have NOTHING to do with today.
LordTyranius
No matter how hard I ever try, I could never be as badass as Rodrigo Duterte
IveGotATheoryItCouldBeBunnies
His whole family's badass. Her daughter became the mayor after his term. She got her father's "no bullshit" attitude.
Grubenwolf
I want some Cockle Bread.
ShamPebbleRage
Roy Benavidez was the inspiration for Call of Duty.
TheDepartmentofRedundancyDepartment
Detroit should elect Rodrigo Duterte
barksinternally
He's our mayor here and crime rates are incredibly low.
88dahl
yayy spitting on the enemy's medics how badass.
allhisdarkmaterials
You made cockle bread. do you like yeast infections? Because that's how you get yeast infections.
blissfullignorance
Air butt. Huehuehuehue.
cmptguy
So that's what happen to Val Kilmer
CommanderDick
A Chinese billionaire that hasn't changed his name to cha ching? Gtfo. Also +1 for being really interesting.
MyBanjoStringFeaturesInTheDeliverance
I love the fact that you uploaded sources along with these facts.
Strudol
I dunno man, that inflated dude smells like Bullshit. I'm no expert but i'm pretty sure human anatomy does not work like that.
itsybitsyspider
I remember reading the news article on it. It almost killed the guy.
Strudol
while i believe it almost killed him i dont think it would have inflated him and he certainly wouldnt have farted it out. that doesnt work.
quatrekins
I dunno. When I was given water through an IV my body got swollen and then I urinated it out.
TheRedChameleon
A) The IV solution is going into your bloodstream B) The cells in your body are capable of absorbing the IV fluids.
IHaveAPhrasalUserNameLikeThisOneCauseTheyAlwaysGetTheTopComment
But that actually makes sense.
Strudol
well yeah thats how your body recycles fluids. pretty sure your body doesn't send excess air in your body through your digestive tract.
FatassFangle
+1 for Looney Tunes being straight up.
WeiYanZhuo
I remember watching some of those when I was younger in the 90's - I don't remember any disclaimer!
IAmLobstronomous
This. Not praising/glorifying their past, but not denying its existence either.
jeangaijin
Some of them are REALLY cringe-worthy... especially the wartime ones. But they're right: It's our history.
thatpictureisaspy
It is a much better solution than banning /editing it (like Tintin in Congo)
JewishMonk
Now if only they would release the Censored Eleven on home media.
gingermadness
"Punctured his left butt"
scienceBITCH3
I feel like those would be very satisfying farts.
LittleVandriver
I had a good laugh about that one. Left butt.
CharlieHoxey
If it wasn't bad enough that he had two buts, that happened to him?
angrybeards
Right in the butt-tocks..
cmptguy
So that is what happened to Val Kilmer
Smayds
The west butt is the best butt.
GamesAndPrettyDames
Ah the right butt could have been lethal! The left butt is the least significant of the two butts humans have.
theDogter
it was a one in a million shot
AbnerDoon
now he has to wear on of these
RubiksKlube
It itches.
IHaveAPhrasalUserNameLikeThisOneCauseTheyAlwaysGetTheTopComment
That one really seemed to be the odd one out. I mean, all others seem somewhat plausible, but this?
TheRedChameleon
I'm just trying to wrap my head around how the air would be able to escape, there aren't any holes in the digestive track for it to escape.
AetherMcLoud
That whole story...
TheFlyingHellfish
And now for something completely different: a man with three buttocks.
BenWeiner
Reminds me of "None pizza with left beef"
Civikjm
Heh, the one guy who can be proud of his stretch marks.
ChillaAquila
Wonder what size he got to!
KhalPogo
That Lenovo CEO seems like a stand-up guy.
imnicetopeopleontheinternet
This practice can actually result in a net gain. My company does profit-sharing to increase performance and tenure, which helps growth.
thatwilldopig
Kind of makes me happy that I bought one last year. It's not my favorite ever, but it's a cheaper model. No problems with it, though!
nanakathleen
My dad worked for Lenovo at that time! No cash bonus, but he got tablets to give my brother and me for Christmas.
JesusDeSaad
Everybody gets a $300 bonus? Damn straight!
bioskope
Cannot detect sarcasm: I hope you do realize that 300$ can mean quite a lot to a factory worker in China.
JesusDeSaad
I wasn't sarcastic at all.
N0CashValue
And the make some pretty cool laptops too
N0CashValue
*they ... I really need to proofread my comments more
stopcallingmesusan
my mom is indian . can confirm
GoogleFucker
Same here. I read that fact and went "Now this is one I actually KNOW is true"
veronicamarsiswatchingyou
same here. As a woman I have also started amassing my own collection
Dracowrath
I wonder how many men got STD's from cockle bread
vibrantlightsaber
Or women got yeast infections.
weareallhomos
given that high temperatures kill bacteria, I'm thinking none since they'd bake the bread
matchesmalone81
Thats right. Autoclave is 121 Celsius. Average bakers oven is around 220.
LiTMac
But is it high enough to denature viruses?
fackenawesome
If you know what to call killing viruses I think you know the temperature that denatures them. Btw, I only know denatured cos of g.11 bio :D

I met him after a speech. It was something else, you could feel yourself becoming more badass justby shaking his hand.
Somanypinkelephants
+1 for pissflap.

His Medal of Honor citation http://youtu.be/VIJzqDBMObQ
TurdsOfWisdom
Source was wikipedia. Wish i could find a more reliable source that this actually happened and isnt some bs war story that was made up
LegoStomper
I like badassoftheweek's entry on him.
321Guesswho
look at Wikipedia's source they do source their material most of the time too
1doctor
I've read his Medal of Honor memo and all kinds of shit on this dude. It's legit, and not even the most badass part of the story
TurdsOfWisdom
Good enough for me! You're a doctor!
1doctor
Thanks friend!
NotACanadian
"You're not foolin' anyone, mate."
RandomOilMan
There should be a film made about that Rodrigo Duterte guy. Shame they won't be able to call it The Punisher...
SeanGecko
The Philippines Punisher. Maybe?
JrElmoe
They could go with "The Pahnisher" with a thick filipino accent.
barksinternally
He's our mayor :)
starvngartst
yup, he's that badass. even rewarding an SUV to whoever leaks an info about drug syndicates and smugglers into his city.
thegoddamn18thavenger
His daughter's a bit of a hellraiser too. Misguided, but a hellraiser.
comeflywithme
Grew up in Davao, myself. His methods aren't as awesome as they sound. His death squads were pretty scary.
WaitingToBeAmused
They should make a film about Roy Benavidez. He was a bad mofo.
ParkyouSH1T
He's our mayor btw
piscesdreamer
I asked my wife why she never makes me any vulva bread. Her reply was "Because I always make you brownies"

You may want to ask where she sticks them before she bakes them.
raveyraveyraveyclub
wasn't that the joke?

Plus, she has all the gold.
koektrommel
Oh god, that inflated fireman. You just know he appeared on several fetish sites because of that.
gopms
I did not know that, but now that you say it I think I actually did somehow.

snoyes
How would the air end up in his digestive system and need to be farted and/or burped out?
impulsivepassion
yeah it doesn't make sense
bibbidybobiddyboo
Same thing happens when you get inflated for a laproscopic appendectomy. No idea how though
snoyes
Your appendix is part of your digestive system, not functional, but a part of it,
bibbidybobiddyboo
They don't pump the air into the appendix. Just the surrounding area so they have room to work (though I was pregnant, may not be the norm).
snoyes
Glad you are OK! I'm just saying at least I can wrap my brain around that. It's attached!
takeoffyourvestyoulooklikealaddin
You're correct. It's pumped into the body cavity so they have room to work. Same with non-pregnant people.
ZebraStripedRose
I think it just travels through the tissues. I had laparoscopic surgery for my gallbladder, but I could feel air pockets up by my shoulder.
depressinglyawesome
What nooooo why?
ZebraStripedRose
Why what? My gallbladder had to be removed. They cut small holes in you and pump you full of air to see. It's a better method than a big cut
koektrommel
I have -no- idea. I am a fetishologist, not a doctor.
snoyes
Damn it Jim...
FrigidMage
so for that bread recipie, do you need to add yeast orrr...
TheDoctorAndHisTrustyTardis
She had a yeast infection in her vagina
retrohellix
Hey, it's an award-winning pussype.

There's a bard in a LARP I know who uses that as the vocal component in his healing songs. The "alive" part, you know.

Mary, Mary quite contrary, how does your garden grow? Silver bells and cockle shells, and pretty maids all in a row.
Beepity
As long as those maids have their heads, all is right with the world...
marymarymistressmary
You rang?
DarkParn
You've been waiting for this haven't you?
marymarymistressmary
........*shakes head sheepishly* :p
juedeas
That yeast wouldn't cause a yeast infection. They're different kinds of yeast.

Add yeast for the Hoegie rolls...

Fish not required.
