Nazis want to look 'sexy'
The biggest neo-Nazi circle jerk in quite some time is being planned, and
they’re desperate for members. The strategy? “Fitted” clothes and
telling “obese” people they’re “not tolerated.”

Virginia man convicted on two counts of animal cruelty after being accused of sex acts with dogs leaves judge speechless
A Virginia man who had eight Rottweilers was convicted on two counts
of animal cruelty Tuesday after being accused of performing sex acts on
dogs, the Richmond-Times Dispatch reported.Stephen Matthew Taylor, 31, entered an Alford plea for the charge of inflicting pain and causing the death of an animal, a felony, and pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor animal cruelty charge.
An Alford plea allows a defendant to acknowledge that the prosecution has sufficient evidence for a conviction without admitting guilt.
According to Nael A. Abouzaki, an assistant commonwealth’s attorney for Henrico County, Taylor confessed to police that he performed oral sex on one of the dogs. He said that during a search of the home last November, authorities found 171 images of bestiality on a hard drive at the defendant’s home, 10 of which showed him performing oral sex on a Rottweiler.
“I just don’t have any words,” Henrico Circuit Judge James Yoffy said. “This is disgusting.”
Abouzaki said the eight dogs were seized from Taylor’s home, and two of them had to be put down.
Taylor disputed the charges after his court appearance, calling them lies and saying he only entered pleas because he didn’t think he would get a fair trial in the county. His lawyer, William T. Linka, said the defendant disagrees with the claim that it’s him in the pictures.
Taylor was released on bond and must undergo a court-ordered psychosexual evaluation, as well as stay away from pets. He will be sentenced on Nov. 14, with the maximum sentence for the felony being five years in prison. The misdemeanor carries a maximum sentence of one year in prison.
Following the search of the home, which authorities performed after getting a warrant for child pornography and crimes against nature, Taylor’s roommate, Craig Michael Knox, was arrested and charged with raping a 9-year-old-boy, as well as other sex offenses.

How eclipses were regarded as omens in the ancient world
On Monday, August 21, people living in the continental United States will be able to see a total solar eclipse.
Humans have been alternatively amused, puzzled, bewildered and sometimes even terrified at the sight of this celestial phenomenon. A range of social and cultural reactions accompanies the observation of an eclipse. In ancient Mesopotamia (roughly modern Iraq), eclipses were in fact regarded as omens, as signs of things to come.

Scientists say black holes are everywhere
Meteorites might explain how life on Earth started
On a clear night scores of meteors streak the sky as the Earth is
showered with stardust memories of its own creation. These cosmological
leftovers, known as meteorites*, range in size from many tons to
microscopic grains. They contain material unchanged since the birth of
the planets-and perhaps clues to the beginning of life. Says Martin
Prinz, a geologist at New York's American Museum of Natural History:
"Meteorites are the Rosetta stones of the origin of the solar system."
Scientists search for signs of cosmic catastrophe
It comes screaming out of the sky like the Scud from hell, bigger than a

arsenal. It hits the atmosphere at 100 times the velocity of a speeding
bullet, and less than a second later smacks into the ground with an
explosive force of 100 million megatons of TNT. The shock wave from the
crash landing, traveling 20,000 miles an hour, levels everything within
150 miles.

Are your parents to blame for your psychological problems?
Psychologist Sigmund Freud famously proposed that our personal
development is pretty much determined by events in our early childhood.

Some students make time for hangovers
Headache and nausea aside, the morning after an evening of drinking
can be filled with regret, anxiety and misery. But it can also be a time
of humor, story-telling and emotional bonding.
This is what we found in a recent study examining the experiences of university students with hangovers. We asked them about their attitudes to being hungover – and the psychological and social effects on their lives.

A billion miles past Pluto
In less than two years, the New Horizons space probe is going to go
whizzing by an object a billion miles further away from us than Pluto
at speeds of up to 30,000 miles per hour. We know generally where that
object—MU69, a cold dark object in the Kuiper Belt—will be thanks to
telescope observations, otherwise we wouldn't be able to rendezvous with
it at all, but like a blind date, we're not 100 percent sure what to
expect. Details like the shape, exact size, color of the object and even
if it has close neighbors all remain elusive.
