The Deep-Fried Burger
Considering
how much we report on fair food, the title might make you think that
this is an entire hamburger -bun and all- breaded and deep-fried on a
stick as an extreme dish. No, this is a method for cooking your
hamburger patties that’s been around for at least 100 years. You can do
it at home to make the same kind of burgers your family expects. It
began at Dyer’s in Memphis.
The method is not difficult, but may take a little practice. That means more cheeseburgers! The instructions are at Lucky Peach.In my travels throughout the United States I have since discovered other deep-fried burger joints, stands, and carts, and they all share one very important component—rich hamburger history. The method for deep-frying burgers was actually born of laziness: an accident-turned-tradition. One day, in around 1912, Elmer Dyer was too busy to drain the skillet he was using to cook burgers. Eventually the rendered fat became a deep pool of grease. Elmer discovered that if he strained the grease and used it to cook with, the result was actually a better-tasting burger.
Now I know what you are thinking—“Yikes! I’m not eating a deep-fried burger!” But trust me, you should, and you will. The deep-fried burger cooks in just 1 minute and, if the temperature of the oil is just right, the patty deflects most of the oil. These factors allow the patty to retain a moist composition and lend it a slightly crispy exterior.
House on fire swept away in floodwaters
A house burning ferociously was washed away in floodwaters on Thursday
afternoon in the worst floods to hit West Virginia in a century.
Amanda Carper posted the video to Facebook with the message: "Please
everyone pray!!! We are stuck in the car with our precious dogs".
The flaming house brushed past trees before colliding with a bridge in White Sulphur Springs.
"Please pray for our neighbors. They are trapped in their attic with small children," Ms Carper added. "Our other neighbors are on their kitchen counter." Ms Carper later wrote that she is now safe at a friend's home.
At least 20 people have died in the flooding, and hundreds more rescued
from homes filling up with water.
National Weather Service meteorologist Frank Pereira said West Virginia
had received a quarter of its annual rainfall in a single day.
"Please pray for our neighbors. They are trapped in their attic with small children," Ms Carper added. "Our other neighbors are on their kitchen counter." Ms Carper later wrote that she is now safe at a friend's home.
Inventing the Beach ...
The Unnatural History of a Natural Place
Going
to the beach for a vacation is a common, but relatively recent,
practice. Throughout most of history, the seashore was a place to be
feared, with sea monsters, pirates, and destructive storms. The people
that lived and worked there knew different, but they didn’t think of the
beach as a treat, either. How did all that change? Historian Alain
Corbin fills us in.Around the mid-18th century, according to Corbin, European elites began touting the curative qualities of fresh air, exercise and sea bathing. Especially in Britain, home of the Industrial Revolution, aristocrats and intellectuals became preoccupied with their own health and hygiene. They viewed workers, whose numbers were multiplying in factories and new industrial towns, as strengthened through labor. By comparison, the upper classes seemed fragile and effete: lacking in physical prowess and destined for decline. The notion of the “restorative sea” was born. Physicians prescribed a plunge into chilly waters to invigorate and enliven. The first seaside resort opened on England’s eastern shore in the tiny town of Scarborough near York. Other coastal communities followed, catering to a growing clientele of sea bathers seeking treatment for a number of conditions: melancholy, rickets, leprosy, gout, impotence, tubercular infections, menstrual problems and “hysteria.” In an earlier version of today’s wellness culture, the practice of sea bathing went mainstream.The view of the beach as a restful, restorative place took some time to spread to other places and classes. But there have been consequences of our fascination with beach getaways, both culturally and environmentally. Read about the history of beach vacations at Smithsonian.

An Investigation of Asparagus Pee
It
has been noticed for centuries -if not longer- that eating asparagus
gives one’s urine a distinctive smell. Describing the smell is a
problem, though. Some people (Proust) liked it, others didn’t (Ben
Franklin), while some have never encountered the smell. Those who
recognize it just call it “asparagus pee smell.” And there’s some
difference in our knowledge as to whether everyone produces the smell
after eating the vegetable, and whether everyone has the ability to
detect it, particularly since smelling urine is a subject many people
just don’t talk about.
Then there are the people who aren’t sure which category they fall in, because they don’t like asparagus and don’t prepare it for the family. Read more about the effects of asparagus on urine at First We Feast.One thing most scientists agree on: asparagusic acid (which, as its name suggests, is only found in asparagus) is metabolized into sulfur-containing compounds, like methanethiol—the most prominent smell in your asparagus pee. These chemicals usually have a low boiling point, becoming smelly gases at room temperature, and hitting us in the face with that familiar odor.
But who makes asparagus pee, and who smells it?
According to Professor John H. McDonald in the biology department at University of Delaware, a 1980 study found that all participants produced asparagus pee, but only some smelled it. A 1987 study found the opposite; only some participants produced asparagus pee, but everyone could smell the difference. And a 1989 study found that 103 French people all produced asparagus pee and all of them identified it as stinky.

Copulating couple on arch of bridge shut down Autobahn
A drunk 28-year-old man and his equally inebriated 18-year-old
girlfriend clambered onto one of the arches of the Kaiserlei Bridge in
Frankfurt, Germany, at around 11am on Thursday.
“They didn’t just enjoy the view,” according to police.
Drivers approaching the bridge, which crosses the Main river, spotted the couple and alerted the local police.
Officers decided they would have to close down two lanes of the Autobahn in order to make room for the ladders which fire services used to approach the love-makers.
Shortly after, the firemen managed to bring the pair back to the ground, and within 20 minutes traffic was running as normal. After taking down their details, officers sent the couple away with an order not to return to the scene of the crime.
Man who broke into home before eating a piece of string cheese and passing out arrested
A man was arrested after breaking into a woman's home in Roseburg, Oregon, on Wednesday.
Police say Michael Ray Dimock, from Roseburg, climbed onto the garage
overhang at the residence and broke two windows and three window
screens.
"He entered through one of the windows, ate a piece of string cheese from the refrigerator and passed out on the living room floor from intoxication," police said.
29-year-old Dimock was charged with Burglary I, Theft III and Criminal Mischief II and lodged at the Douglas County Jail.

Man arrested after attempting to scan his genitals at grocery store
A Seattle man is facing an indecent exposure charge after allegedly
attempting to scan his genitals at a grocery store on Wednesday
afternoon.
According to police, Christian Fisher, 31, entered the Quality Food
Center market in Capitol Hill at around 5pm and proceeded to a
self-checkout scanner. He then summoned over a female employee, a
Seattle Police Department report states.
When the woman approached Fisher, officers noted, “she saw that his
penis was out on the stand.” The employee said she “reacted with
surprise,” which caused Fisher to laugh.
A male employee said that when he saw his female coworker “reacting to
something on the checkout stand,” he “walked over to see what the issue
was.” The “issue,” he told police, was Fisher’s penis, which was “resting on top of the scanner.”
The suspect, the report notes, “was laughing and did not make any attempts to stow away his blatantly exposed genitalia.” Fisher fled the business before police arrived, but he returned several hours later and was confronted by workers who recognized him from the earlier incident. Fisher, officers say, ignored employee demands that he leave the store and got into a shoving match with security trying to escort him from the premises.
Police subsequently apprehended Fisher about a block from the store. Told that he was under arrest for indecent exposure, Fisher “became agitated and yelled ‘I didn’t whip my cock out!’” He was later booked into the county jail on the misdemeanor count and an assault rap. According to jail records, Fisher’s arrest on Wednesday night was his fourth this month. He has previously faced on burglary, assault, and obstruction charges.

Birds in Scotland Are Stealing Skinny Dippers' Underwear
A
swimming hole in an isolated party of Angus, Scotland is popular with
local skinny dippers. It's also a hunting ground for red kites who nest
nearby. Lately, they've been waiting for the humans to get naked and
into the water, then stealing their clothes. The Herald
reports that these birds appear to have a special affinity for high
fashion branded underpants, which they use as nesting material:
Gamekeeper Dave Clement last year found that a pair of red kites on his estate at Gannochy in Glen Esk near Edzell had stolen pants and socks from a popular local wild swimming spot, to to use in the building of their nest. […]
Dave Clement, member of the Angus Glens Moorland Group, said it appeared that the Kites had become more discerning in 2016, choosing branded undergarments.
“The licences ringer who went up the tree to the nest said there were Armani pants and another brand as well as socks, which they must have pinched off the swimmers at the local gorge.
“It seems they will take anything to line the nest, then lay the eggs on top, and someone must have gone home minus some underwear.

Man named Mr Gambles has won lottery for the second time using the same numbers
Chicago man Larry Gambles has won the lottery for the second time, using the same numbers.
Mr Gambles, of Matteson, won a $1,050,000 Lucky Day Lotto jackpot prize
when his ticket matched all five numbers, 01-06-12-14-25, in the June 7
draw.
"Nine years ago, I won $50,000 playing the numbers from the jerseys of my high school basketball team," Mr Gambles said. "I’ve been playing the same numbers ever since. I can’t believe they paid off again."
Mr Gambles, 65, a retired school administrator, plans to share the winnings with his family and friends. Mr Gambles' advice to other lottery players is to pick your favourite numbers and stick with them. "It worked for me," he added.

Caribbean Sea Whistles Loudly, Mysterious Sound Can Be Heard From Space
The Caribbean Sea apparently whistles, as per a new study.
A
strange noise emanating from the Caribbean Sea has reportedly been
detected by researchers from UK's University of Liverpool. The sound,
which was found to be similar to a whistle, was so remarkable that it
could be picked up from space, even though it was too low to be
initially caught by human ears on our planet's surface.
The scientists
heard the sound when conducting a research about regional sea level and
pressure changes, especially in the Caribbean Sea owing to its
significant role in creating currents that feed into the Gulf Stream.
The team soon realized there was something mysterious going on when they
noticed pressure oscillations in their study model which did not seem
quite right.
The scientists zeroed in on the
oscillations and realized that they emanated a low noise, which could
only be described as a whistle. The whistle's pitch was so strong that
it could be measured in space by observing the oscillations on Earth's
gravity field. The further study of the effect led the scientists to
understand that the sound was actually a Rossby Wave, a phenomenon that
moves west on the ocean, and reaches the Caribbean basin, where it
disappears for 120 days and then reappears again to make the journey
back to the east of the ocean. The researchers attributed the mysterious
whistle of the sea floor to the Rossby Wave.
"An ocean current flowing through the
Caribbean Sea becomes unstable and excites a resonance of a rather
strange kind of ocean wave called a Rossby wave," said
Chris Hughes, from the researching team. "Because the Caribbean Sea is
partly open, this causes an exchange of water with the rest of the ocean
which allows us to 'hear' the resonance using gravity measurements".
Incidentally the note of the wave is in
A-flat tone, which is around 30 octaves lower than a piano's lowest
note. Furthermore, the researchers believe that the "Rossby Whistle" is
actually impacting the flow of the Caribbean current and subsequently
the whole North Atlantic Ocean. The team now wants to study more about
the effect of the Rossby Whistle, particularly its capability of coastal
flooding prediction.
‘Judge fuckman’ and ‘donkey dick’ inmate ...
Man arrested again for hiding under vehicles and touching women's feet
A man who police in Lincoln, Nebraska, have again accused of hiding
under a parked vehicle and touching a woman's foot to satisfy his
fascination says he is sorry to the women involved in these encounters.
Jesse M. Johnson, 20, was arrested and ticketed on suspicion of
disturbing the peace in connection with an incident at an Aldi parking
lot.
“I just have this weird addiction and odd behavior,” Johnson said on
Wednesday night. “I don’t know why.”
A 48-year-old woman told police she was leaving the store at around
5:30pm on Tuesday when she noticed a running car parked next to hers,
which stuck her as odd, Capt. Jeri Roeder said.
As she got to her vehicle, the woman felt a hand reach out from under
the vehicle and grab her ankle, Roeder said.
She screamed and a man rolled out from under the vehicle and ran off,
Roeder said. Police found the suspect, identified as Johnson, at the
Kohl's store nearby and took him jail.
Johnson disputed the police's account and said he didn’t touch the
woman’s foot or make any physical contact with her.
“I was hiding under the vehicle simply for the visual,” Johnson said. This is the third such incident he's been accused of being involved in this year, according to police. Johnson said doesn’t mean to scare the woman involved in these cases and he has never tried to hurt them, he said. But police worry that a similar incident could escalate. "Some of these people never move beyond what they’re doing, similar to window peekers," Roeder said. "And some, you know, graduate on to bigger and worse things. "It’s always concerning whether he’s going to do something more serious.”
He was ticketed by police on June 16 after a woman reported a hand reaching out from under her car and trying to grab her leg in an apartment complex parking lot. Johnson had been out of jail only two days after being jailed for seven days connected to another incident on March 21 at a Lincoln Wal-Mart. That case remains pending. City prosecutors are seeking jail time this time after a judge fined Johnson $150 for a similar incident from June 2015 at TJ Maxx. Johnson said he has sought help in the past and was seeing a counselor in 2014 before financial issues made continued treatment unaffordable. He hopes to find affordable counseling before he gets into further trouble. Asked if he thinks it will happen again, Johnson said: “If I get the help that I need, no.”

British Police Arrest Artist For Getting Strangers To Stroke Her Breasts
by
Jake Kilroy
Her latest project is called Mirror Box. In it, Moiré struts around European cities adorned in a mirrored performance box outfit of sorts. The curious attraction though is that surrounding pedestrians can stick their hands—after a thorough sanitization—into the box and feel her breasts or vagina for 30 seconds. Her press release explained the idea.
Moiré has taken the liberty of showing female desire, thus giving women a sexual voic. The audience’s reflection on the mirrored box simultaneously becomes a visual metaphor for the role reversal from voyeur to the object of view: a constant play of inversions analogous to our roles in the digital world.The performance didn’t exactly go over well in London, however. Not long after the Moiré began in Trafalgar Square, the Swiss artist was arrested. She wound up with a “4-digit fine” and 24 hours in a prison cell. Once released, Moiré pointed out the arrest as an indicator of why Britain should stay in the European Union, as the vote took place just yesterday. Hyping “regulated uniformly” and cultural unity in Europe, the artist pointed out how the Dutch police only complained that the megaphone was too loud.

Police introduce its new 'porn sniffing dog'
Law enforcement officers use K-9s and their keen sense of smell to help
them find drugs, locate missing people and help solve arson
investigations.
Now Utah police have a K-9 to find child pornography.
On Tuesday, the Weber County Sheriff's Office introduced URL, pronounced
Earl, as the latest addition to their fight against child pornography.
"He'll definitely find it. He has an incredible nose," URL's handler,
detective Cameron Hartman, a member of the Internet Crimes Against
Children Task Force, said.
URL is the state's first electronic detection K-9. With a few simple
commands like "seek" and "show me," URL is able to find small electronic
devices, SD cards, SIM cards, USB sticks, thumb drives and other items.
He can also detect large devices such as cellphones, iPads and tablets.
URL is trained to smell common chemicals found in devices that store
electronic media, such as pictures and videos. Although he cannot
specifically tell which devices contain child pornography, his main use
will be to find small electronic devices that child pornographers may
try to hide, thus earning URL the nickname the "porn dog."
URL has already been used to assist investigators serving search
warrants in two task force cases, and he was able to find hidden devices
at another house, Hartman said.
