Every 28 Hours (4/19/15): A week ago, 27-year old Freddie Gray was arrested for an undetermined (and probably imagined) offense by the Baltimore police. After putting him into the back of a van, they beat him to the point of damaging 3 vertebrae in his back and damaging his voice box, amongst other injuries. Today, Freddie succumbed to his severe injuries and passed away. Baltimore police beat a man to death– where is his name on the nightly news? Where is the outrage for his murder?! 

A video that circulated widely on social media and prompted the Police Department to hold a news conference about the incident showed him yelling as police held him on the sidewalk and then carried him, his legs dragging limp on the street, into a police van.

This is genocide. My people are dying. At least seven other Black men were killed this week. Rest in power, to all our fallen ones. We fight for you now too. #staywoke #farfromover

I’m filled w so much sadness, hearing about these murders by those who were supposed to “serve & protect”

Dungeons and Dragons was originally developed by the U.S. Military to teach battle tactics.

Then I will definitely succeed in the Navy!

Don’t be so sure. If you roll a 1 or 2 when you ship out you automatically drown.

I have a couple of d20s, can I roll them all at once and choose the best one?

I’m afraid naval tradition demands you cast “Old Rolly”

Old Rolly dates back to the Triremes of Ancient Greece and has killed about 1 in 10 prospective sailors for the last few millennia. In the Persian wars she was rolled to execute Haxamanis, in Ancient Rome she was rolled by Julius Caesar as he crossed the Rubicon, indeed this is the very die he spoke of being cast. 

It fell into the hands of Dante and DaVinci, and then into the service of Napoleon who cast it to kill Lord Nelson. But after Trafalgar it was kept unrolled in the British Museum for nearly 75 years until it was called into service again in America, where it has served the fates at Annapolis ever since.

Many a senator has decried the use of Old Rolly as barbaric but the U.S. Constitution clearly states, “And ye shall rolle 1d20 upon thee induction of each foldier and if they shoulde rolle a one, they shall surely be put to death by drowninge.”

So I wish you luck, good Sailor, when your time comes.

Deleting all comments because only in this site you will find people throwing shit at a 17 year old boy who has voluntarily fed 80'000 people by starting his own business because he has a very particular idea lf masculinity which happens to threat only people with paper feelings.

His business has a line of ‘SheCans’ with names like ‘Unstoppable’, ‘Awesome’, ‘Fearless’ and ‘Beautiful’.
Anyone who is bitter about this kid’s business needs to step back and reevaluate their life.

Reblogging again because of that comment

A perfect example of a severe case of OCD or Obsessive compulsive disorder may be witnessed in Nikola Tesla, the genius mad Serbian Scientist, inventor and engineer. Nikola Tesla is best known for his Tesla coil, alternate current motors, contribution to the radio and other electrically engineered patents.

  • Nikola Tesla held an obsession for the number three and it’s multiples
  • ate with 18 napkins which is divisible by 3 
  • walked around a building 3 times before entering.
  • When eating, he counted his chewing and estimated the approximate mass of his meals.
  • Nikola Tesla would not eat alone with a woman
  • if a woman worked for him they had to dress to his standards
  • He grew a phobia of hair, jewelry and round objects
  • Tesla was a mysophobic or germaphobic and would not shake hands with acquaintances
  • If he read a book from one author he felt compelled to complete all of the books by the same author.
  • He was not fond of overweight people and fired his secretary who may have only been slightly over weight. Nikola himself was a very slim man with a constant weight
