Stock in Intuitive Machines sharply dropped in after-hours trading Friday after the company’s Odyessus lunar lander tipped over when it landed on the moon’s surface. The extreme stock move shows just how hard it is to trade events that will move a small capitalization stock. Intuitive and NASA held a news conference on Friday evening. The lander “is stable, near or at the intended landing site,” said Intuitive CEO Steve Altemus. One hiccup though—the lander is on its side. Altemus said the craft was going 25,000 miles an hour in orbit and landed at about 6 miles an hour, with...

This spearfisherman should consider himself lucky he's alive and approaching full recovery after an arrow went through his own head. According to the South Coast Herald, a man has survived and is in good spirits after impaling his own head with a spearfishing arrow. The speargun went off during an accident and was not fired by the man, but led to a stint in the hospital. Connie Hallowell, a pastor from Umkomaas, South Africa, was diving in Scottburgh, a coastal town located outside of Durban. In an interview with East Coast Radio, he explained what led to the incident. "For...

Childbirth can trigger a number of odd body changes, but for a woman in Portugal, post-pregnancy symptoms were particularly curious: She started to lactate from her armpit, according to a new report. The 26-year-old woman told doctors that she developed pain in her right armpit two days after giving birth, according to the report, published July 29 in The New England Journal of Medicine. When doctors examined the area, they found a round mass in her armpit. Surprisingly, the mass "released a white discharge when pressed," the authors, from Hospital de Santa Maria in Lisbon, Portugal, wrote in the report....

Anyone who disagrees with this fact is anti-white, anti-American, anti-Western and doesn’t believe in law and order or a solid work ethic. If anything, Trump is sympathetic since he saluted a Commie General once.

LOS ANGELES (CBS) — Police say a man who jumped from a four-story parking structure impaled himself on a wrought-iron fence Saturday in Lincoln Heights. Authorities said about an hour before the unidentified man jumped, they had shooed him out of the parking structure. The man reportedly impaled himself in the midsection. Firefighters cut away the section of fence the man was impaled on and took him and part of the fence to a hospital after the roughly 3:40 a.m. jump, a witness told a videographer who arrived after the man was taken away. The incident occurred at 1143 Mission...

I'm a REAL CONSERVATIVE. I took a test once, and it showed I was 92 percent nuts! I'm such a conservative that I kept coming back to FR and spamming the state boards and freepmail until I was blocked from doing such. Now all I can do is sign up and make posts that will never see the light of day as the moderators just discard them. It isn't FAIR! I have a RIGHT to be an IDIOT on FR! It's in the CONSTITUTION! I have been neutered, gelded! My life no longer has any meaning! Everyone one here is...

(NewsCore) - Italian police arrested a Naples butcher after discovering worm-infested meat for sale in his store that was 10 years past its expiry date, the ANSA news agency reported Friday. Shocked food safety inspectors discovered pasta and biscuits crawling with parasites, rotting meats and dairy products, and olives covered in mold in the store of horrors. The butcher tampered with expiry dates on the products in order to keep on selling the items, even though some were a decade old, the report said. Police arrested the butcher on suspicion of endangering public health.

Dream ticket for 2012 Presidential Election: Huckabee and Hickenlooper... What do you think?

Harvard Professor Raj Chetty and a group of other researchers have performed a much-discussed study (via Gene Expression) that looks at what factors really affect things like income, your likelihood to own a home, and odds of getting married. The most startling thing they found? Your score on a very basic kindergarten test is a HUGE predictor. Other educational factors like class size and the quality of your teachers aren't nearly as important. Given the renewed interest in educational policy in America right now, it's fascinating.

For those of you who followed my every word raptly (sarc) and wondered where I went--I'm back. Moved from NJ to SC and already saving tons of money. I hope "sickoflibs" picks this up and adds me to his list of "regulars". It's so good to be back. Especially given the conservative tidal wave overtaking the country. Come on November!!

mmm Mmm MMM!
