Watch bystanders tackle London terror attacker - CNN Video

Dramatic video shows a group of bystanders' heroic actions in subduing the London Bridge terror attacker Usman Khan, one by spraying him with a fire extinguisher and another by wielding an apparent narwhal tusk.

I love it when the news throws cities into a big old pile like a Denver omelette of the Knowledge of Things section in an IQ test addressed to the European Union.    

With the sheer amount of fog in and on camera from yesterday's headlines and headspace from the past, I think ghost writers everywhere agree, the earth might just need a little fumigation.

Don't panic, even when this guy specifically brings a narwhal tusk to what is clearly a fire extinguisher fight.

At least in the USA, we can enjoy that soulful artsy pic of President Trump from CNN; Which is, BTW, saying the same thing more or less as Fox...

     ...Dans le Moment...

The problem seems to be that - in the middle of the night - we just can't seem to remember where we all live.

Ah, progress. And hey, now that earth magnets are working again, maybe gravity is finally back on our side at least.

Don't panic. Not even we are too annoying to put up with. The question this guy is dying to ask, however, is, "Do you believe that, Child?"

Sure, and or, yes please. Namsayin'? Kegan, Ronald? Emmanuel?

Long story short, why is this article about a bridge, but also terribly concerned about patriots running short of narwhal tusks?

I - want - rainbow snakes...

Oh, wait. I mean, stop eating pork - specifically bacon - until we figure out exactly who needs change, who needs gas, what my clearance number is for real this time, and why exactly I've gathered you all here today in the cold away from Reddit Q and A's.

Also, is a pack of Camel lights really that impossible? Have a great day now that I’ve ruined ham sandwiches...or did I?

Are You Oversensitive To Sound? You May Want To Know About Misophonia

Do Certain Sounds Annoy You?

Apparently, there’s a condition called misophonia, and it’s a lot more common than you might think. People with this condition are annoyed or even angered by certain sounds, such as chewing or tapping. Unfortunately, most of the common “trigger sounds” for misophonia are sounds you’re likely to hear everyday.

According to Dr. James Cartreine, Phd. of Harvard University, “people with misophonia are affected emotionally by common sounds — usually those made by others, and usually ones that other people don’t pay attention to.” These people experience a fight-or-flight response triggered by a certain sound. This makes them angry with a desire to escape, but these feelings can manifest physically in an expanse of ways.

Your Brain on Sound

A single part of the brain – the anterior insular cortex – is responsible for both anger and processing outside input (such as sound). When this cortex is overactive, the person becomes extra sensitive, especially emotionally, to sound. It tricks other areas of the brain into activity, such as the areas responsible for fear, emotions, and long term memory.

This overactivity may be related to…..

Why Falling In Love With “Old Souls” Can Be So Hard

Right off the bat, I want to make it adamantly clear that the term “old souls” has no actual basis in psychology. Regardless, the phenomenon of “old souls” does exist, as many mothers and nurses in the maternal ward will tell you. The idea of “old souls” varies depending on who you’re talking to. Some say that old souls are merely children that seem much more mature than their age would indicate. Others see old souls in a much more spiritual light, and believe that these individuals have lived many past lives on this earth, and seem to draw upon that knowledge and experience daily. For these people, a belief in reincarnation is almost always present.

While the idea of old souls has been dismissed by many as pseudoscience, it’s hard to deny the existence of old souls when you see them. Some of the firmest believers in the existence of old souls are the nurses who help deliver babies in hospitals. These healthcare professionals see more babies than perhaps anyone else, and they notice the subtle differences in these newborns that others might miss. Many of these nurses will tell you that certain babies exhibit strange characteristics when they’re born, almost as if they’ve been born many times before and it’s nothing new to them…

While being an old soul can have its advantages, it can also have its downsides. Many old souls have trouble with relationships. In addition, many people who date old souls can tell you that it’s very difficult to make things work with them. But why is this? Is there any hope for these old souled individuals? These are the questions we set out to answer today.

1. Old Souls Often Come From Single Parent Households

While the term “old soul” might not be used in psychology, there is another term that is closely related. This term is “pseudomature.” This word refers to children, teens, or young adults that appear much more mature than their age might indicate. These children are often trying to….

What is dead may never die

Astronomers discovered a bizarre star that went supernova not once, but twice.

To quote the first line of a letter published today in the journal Nature, “Every supernova so far observed has been considered to be the terminal explosion of a star.” In other words, when a massive star blows itself up, it should remain dead. This is something astronomers have witnessed thousands of times before with absolutely no exceptions. That is, until now.
