Tobacco control has long been one of the most important public health policies, and rightly so; the average smoker loses 6.6 years of perfect health to their habit.

That's the unavoidable conclusion of the conference that staggered to a close in the early hours of Saturday morning in Copenhagen. It was a train wreck, but a fascinating one, revealing an enormous amount about the structure of the globe.

  • What Is Existence Without Sound?

    23 Nov 2009 | 7:42 am
    What would your world be without sound? Would the absence of all sounds (the incessant bustle of cars – the delicate buzz of flies over a bubbling river) change your emotional state of being? Can we understand our world more completely if we remove sound, all the while noticing the differential in our realities? I propose, for one day, we remove sound from our lives. We will wear earplugs, earbuds, earmuffs, or similitudes to create a vacuum in our perceptions to be analyzed emotionally and intellectually. If this does not work, we will try something else.

    A lamellophone (vibrating tongue instrument) made from extra spinal surgery supplies. The sound is amplified using a contact microphone and the pitches depend on the length of the threaded steel rods. I like what I see so far and I hope the creator over at Vulpestruments continues to experiment with homemade instruments. Post from: The Odd Musical Instrument Collection

  • Why Scrooge Was Right About Christmas

    20 Dec 2009 | 12:02 pm
    By John BlumenthalEbenezer Scrooge is the most charming, lovable and delightfully rotten curmudgeon ever created. His lack of Christmas spirit is utterly refreshing. The sourpuss at the start is so much more entertaining than the transformed Ebenezer, who's about as interesting as egg nog. When Dickens' A Christmas Carol was first published in 1843, London was one of the most dynamic cesspools in the civilized world. Every manner of vermin came from all over England to take in the city's slop-covered sights, bask in its sumptuous refuse and spread various and sundry plagues. The stench was…

So Dornob suggests that you could make your own: If you are looking for a cheaper alternative approach, however, local vintage clothing stores may sell a belt for a few dollars.

You can see the photo of this posted below. Each of these methods will help seeing the illusion: narrow your eyes and relax them, go slightly cross-eyed, and/or simply move few feet away from your monitor. Still, the best method for seeing this is reserved for those of…

    Jesuit priest Ferdinand Verbiest, who worked in China from 1659 until his death in 1688, left a description of a five-wheel steam car he had built as a toy for the young Chinese emperor Enkh Amgalan Khaan in 1672. That is the earliest record of an auto-mobile car thus Verbiest’s vehicle possibly holds the very first land speed record. The vehicle was not meant for human transport and was only 2 ft (65cm) long. There is, however, no other record of the vehicle and it is not known if it was actually built. The graphic here is from an 18th century print. The first “modern”…

    The belief that to attain wisdom and virtue one must give up all the pleasures of life originated from the Cynics, an ancient sect. The Greek philosopher, Diogenes (c412-323BC), adopted the philosophy, discarded all his possessions except a cloak, purse and wooden bowl, and made his home in a barrel, living in it on the outskirts of Corinth, Greece. When he saw a boy drinking from his hands, he threw out the bowl as well. It is told that Alexander the Great once met Diogenes, then a very old man.

    Transplanting hair is a grafting procedure that takes 4 to 5 hours, with the patient under local anaesthesia. A strip of scalp is removed from the back of the head, then cut up into grafts of hair. Hundreds of tiny slits are made in bald areas, and the hair is transplanted one or two follicles at a time. More than one procedure is usually necessary, and some patients have temporary swelling in the forehead or numbness in the scalp. It takes about 3 months for the transplanted hair to start growing again. Each procedure costs several thousand dollars. There is an alternative to grafting. In a…

When Edward Winslow, leader of the Plimoth Colony was asked by one of the Wampanoag Indians to “Please pass the turkey”, he simply responded, “No thank you.” It is unclear from what records exist of the first historic feast whether this was meant as an insult, or if Windlow simply misheard the request.  Whatever the case may have been, Winslow’s faux paux angered his Wampanoag guests.

    If you like traveling, it’s impossible not to know the wonderful Tower of Pisa (La Torre di Pisa), the campanile belonging to the Cathedral of the Italian city of Pisa, also known as The Leaning Tower. Dating back  to 1173 and even intially meant to be a perfectly vertical structure, the Tower of Pisa is today one curious attraction due to its high leaning at about 3.99 degrees. How this happened? As Wikipedia says: “The tower began to sink after construction had progressed to the third floor in 1178. This was due to a mere three-meter foundation, set in weak, unstable…

A new study suggests such reckless behavior can raise the risk of getting into an accident by up to six times. Don’t think chatting on the phone is any less dangerous though, as drivers chit-chatting on cell phones are four times more likely to get into an accident.

The pictures do make you feel sad about all the efforts going up in flames. The giant display caught fire during its unveiling.

Galen Galen caused millions of deaths by popularizing Humorism – the belief that the human body is filled with black bile, yellow bile, phlegm, and blood. He had never seen the inside of a human body because Romans considered dissection sacrilegious and wrote most of his influential anatomy books by observing,…

    17 Dec 2009 | 4:03 pm
    The high levels of poverty in the East End have, throughout history, corresponded with a high incidence of crime. From earliest times, crime depended, as did labour, on the importing of goods to London, and their interception in transit. Theft occurred in the river, on the quayside and in transit to the City warehouses. This was why, in the 17th century, the East India Company built high-walled, guarded docks at Blackwall to minimise the vulnerability of their cargoes. Armed convoys would then take the goods to the company’s secure compound in the City. The practice led to the creation…

Goldsmiths, masons, paper makers, and potters, were among the first trades people to use marks—pressings into gold, chiseled symbols, watermarks on paper, and simple thumb-prints on pottery.

When a smoker runs into another anti-smoking ad, often the reaction is – “yes maybe it is cool, but it won’t make me quit – it’s a waste of time and money”. Well of course, one single ad won’t change your mind in a second, but it does create the awareness that smoking is a BAD thing, and when a message is being repeated over an over again – it find its place somewhere deep inside your…
