Russian member of Mufti Council talked about religious extremism, which includes "European inquisitors, such as Grey Knights, Deathwatch, Sisters of Battle, and similar organisations, which drew a lot of blood both Christian and non-Christian".

Seven-meter wasp nest containing millions of wasps found in abandoned house in the Canary Islands.
Personally, I'd suggest that the previous owner is cocooned inside the nest and will burst forth with his kinswarm once fully metamorphosed. |

Re: Real-Life Weirdness
Looking for something to do on your holidays when you visit the US? Why not go look at a decommissioned Titan missile silo.

Not in itself weird, but if you like this thread, you'll probably also like the Google+ community "Suppressed Transmissions". And you'll see some familiar names and faces.
