Alarm Clock That Shows You When You'll Die Is Set To Go Into Production

An alarm clock that sets out to actually alarm its owner first thing in the morning is set to go into production. ALARMclock has a retro-style LED animation which can be programmed to start the day with information that shocks its user into awareness.

The makers say it can deliver "motivating data about your financial status, the size of your social networks, and your projected life expectancy". So instead of seeing the time on the clock's display, users could see their current bank balance or the number of Facebook friends they have.

All that is needed is a WiFi connection to customise features from a computer, phone or tablet. The clock's designers applied for backing for their idea on kickstarter.com, the crowdfunding website that appeals to individual backers to buy a stake in the idea. Their pitch funding suggests to backers they can "reconnect with powerful motivating forces such as financial instability, social insecurity and fear of death".

The clock is, its designers say: "A daily reminder that life is hard, deal with it."

In their case, it might just have got easier. With 18 days to go until the funding period ends, they have already raised more than double the $7,000 (£4,300) amount they set out to achieve.

Meet 81yr-Old Woman Who Has Dug Her Grave & Sewn Her Shroud In Preparation For Her Death

               

81-year-old retired matron, Mrs. Florence Fashola, has done something many senior citizens will dare not do. In preparation for her death, she has dug her grave and sewn a shroud. In this interview, she gives her reasons for doing so.

Do you think many people are dying young these days than in the old days?

Yes, of course. The problem is that young people are no longer doing what we did in those days. They no longer live the way we lived and eat the way we ate. For example, our parents never ate pepper milled with machines. They never put seasonings in their soup. They ate fresh fruits and fresh meat and fish. My mother never did before she died. She would not eat any soup if the ingredients were not milled on a stone. People eat too many packaged things nowadays. The luxury in which people live nowadays contributes to early death. But that does not mean I am not prepared for death. I have been ready since I clocked 70.

But many old people are afraid of death. Why are you not?

When I was 70 years old, I had a meeting with my children and told them I was expecting death anytime from then because even the Bible says nobody knows the time or day death will come. I have been blessed by God; I have children who have children of their own. I am not afraid of where I am going. So, why would I be afraid of death? To show I was really prepared, I held a meeting with my children and told them of my decision to find a tailor to sew me a shroud I would be interred in and dug my own grave in my yard. When the shroud was sewn, I put it on and took photographs with it.

Doctors were unsure if they were going to make it past their first few days, but now the McCaughey septuplets are celebrating turning 16 - and planning driving lessons, college degrees and careers.

Kenny, Kelsey, Natalie, Brandon, Alexis, Nathan and Joel, the world's first septuplets to survive infancy, are marking the milestone on Tuesday, November 19 at their home in Carlisle, Iowa.

'It's sad how quickly it's gone,' their mother Bobbi told a local newspaper of the past 16 years.

Bobbi and her husband Kenny famously declined selective reduction after learning they were pregnant with seven children following fertility treatment, saying it was 'in God's hands'.

15yr old boy axed severally in Akwa Ibom over allegation of witchcraft

A 15 year boy, Asuquo Edet from  Akwa Ibom State - was mid last week tortured for more than four hours before finally axed on the head to a state of coma by assailants numbering about ten over allegation of using witchcraft power to kill his father. Narrating his ordeal in the hands from those he called ‘local cultists’ to newsmen, Asuquo, who hails from Ikon- Edikor, Udung Uko Local Government Area, said he was reconciled with his parents few months ago by an Eket based non-profit organization, the Child’s Right and Rehabilitation Network (CRARN) that runs a centre for witch stigmatized children, having lived there for over a year. 

He maintained that his father who had unknown health issue received him with open arms, before he died a few days ago.

‘‘My father was very happy to see me again after abandoning me for more than three years on the streets because one soothsayer, by name  Alex Otong from Obughu, bought by my stepmother told him that I was a wizard; and responsible for his illness,  the poverty and misfortune in the family….’’  

The Junior Secondary II student said he was sitting in his late father’s house, mourning his death that fateful day when the hoodlums led by two of his stepmother’s brothers, by name Silas and Peter Inwang cordoned the house and started

Teenager In India Commits Suicide After Parents Ban Her From Using Facebook

A 17-year-old Indian girl killed herself on Wednesday after her parents told her she needed to stop wasting her time on Facebook and her mobile phone and focus more on her studies. Newsweek Pakistan reported Friday that the girl, Aishwarya Dahiwal of Maharashtra state’s Parbhani city, was found hanging in her bedroom after arguing with her parents on Wednesday. She left a suicide note which references Facebook and the argument with her parents which police are currently examining.

After the argument, she locked herself in her room and was found hanging later, with a suicide note nearby,” he said.

Woman Witness Man Buried Alive Rising From Grave

It's not every day you see someone climbing out of a grave. But for one woman in Brazil, who was visiting her family tomb, that's exactly what she was in for.

According to local reports, the woman, who has not been identified, was at a cemetery in Sao Paulo's Ferraz de Vasconcelos when she heard some odd noises and saw some dirt moving near a grave. That's when she spotted a man, buried alive, trying to pull himself from the ground.

"I was terrified to see a man who I thought was dead, trying to get out of the grave," the woman recalled later, according to local reports.

The woman notified authorities, and emergency services arrived to dig out the rest of the man's body; he had already managed to free his head and arms from the ground. In a video broadcast on local station Record TV, the rescue team is seen pulling the partially buried man from the grave.
It's not immediately clear how the man, who reportedly worked as a city hall employee, came to be buried alive, but it is believed he got into a fight in another part of the city and was badly beaten up in the altercation, the Daily Mail reported.

After he was rescued from the grave, he was taken to a local hospital for treatment. Though city officials confirmed the case, they did not disclose the condition of the man, Noticias R7 reports.

Meet 5-Yr-Old Isaac Brown Who Feels No Pain

Isaac Brown is a 5-year-old boy from Iowa who suffers from a rare genetic condition which makes him immune to pain, but not to the effects of his frequent injuries. Painful falls, deep cuts and other agonizing injuries that normally make children scream at the top of their lungs and cry out for their parents, don’t determine any kind of reaction from little Isaac. Even after he broke his pelvis by falling from playground equipment, he calmly acknowledged that something was wrong, but he didn’t feel pain.

Isaac was born with a conprivate part insensitivity to pain (CIP) and, according to his parents, the first years of his life years were especially hard as the boy “would just drop to the ground and smack his face on the table. He thought the fall was fun.” Unaware of the damage he was doing to his body, he also put his hands on a working oven burner and

Russian Man Nails His Scrotum To The Ground (Video)

A naked Russian artist nailed his own testicles to the ground in a bizarre protest against his country's authoritarian regime. Self-styled performance artist Pyotr Pavelnsky hammered a large metal nail through his scrotum and into the cobblestones in front of Moscow's Red Square as hundreds of horrified tourists watched on.

Police eventually covered him up with a blanket before removing him from the scene. He was taken to a clinic for treatment and placed under arrest.

Pavelnsky has previously performed painful protests to highlight political causes. In 2011 he sewed his lips together to highlight the plight of the jailed Pussy Riot group and he later wrapped his naked body in barbed wire outside a government building in St Petersburg.

Igbinedion Kills 3-Yr-Old Nephew for Bed wetting

Ben Igbinedion, 43, has been found guilty of killing his 3 year old nephew, Daniel Evbuowman after they shared bed.

Ben, of Bromley, southeast London, reportedly assaulted the little child in the early hours of March 2, 2013, after discovering Daniel wet the bed he and his uncle were sharing. After the assault Igbinedion put the child in a different bed, but when other family members tried to wake Daniel in the morning, they found him unresponsive. Daniel was taken to a hospital where he died.

During his trial, the court heard that Daniel was put in the care of Igbinedion, who was also left in charge of his three children while his wife was at work. He told Daniel and his youngest son that they should sleep in his room, while his other two children sleep in their own room. One of Igbinedion’s children was woken by him telling off Daniel for wetting the bed, the jury was told.

Bizarre!!!! Woman Pierces Her Cervix

26 year old UK woman named Ashley Crawford, who is described as a body modification artist and sex worker, is the first woman (and hopefully the only one) to pierce her cervix. The cervix is the lower end of the womb (uterus). It is at the top of the vagina. It is about 1 inch long. The cervical canal passes through the cervix. It allows blood from a menstrual period and a baby (fetus) to pass from the womb into the vagina.

The cervical canal also allows sperm to pass from the vagina into the uterus.

Chinese Man Wins In Court For Suing Wife Over Ugly Children

before and after cosmetic surgery

A Chinese wife has been sued by her husband for giving birth to what he calls an 'incredibly ugly' child.

Jian Feng from northern China filed a suit against his wife and was awarded $120,000 (£75,000) in a court settlement. He argued that his wife tricked him into the marriage by undergoing plastic surgery to make her beautiful. He said he realized this only when she gave birth to their daughter.

"I married my wife out of love, but as soon as we had our first daughter, we began having marital issues. Our daughter was incredibly ugly, to the point where it horrified me," Jian said.

The truth of the matter surfaced only when Jian went on to accuse his wife of cheating, as the child looked like neither of its parents. At that point, the wife admitted to having undergone cosmetic surgery worth £62,000 which had modified her appearance considerably. Jian was not aware of the surgery before their marriage, his wife conceded.

lol...so to be ugly don be crime? na wa oooo

Employee Gets Suspended For Refusing To Give An Armed Robber Money

Betty the employee

DailyMail is reporting that a petrol station employee got suspended after she refused to hand over cash to an armed robber.

 According to the story, the lady, Betty Green was working at the Speedway gas station in Lexington, Kentucky, when a man came in and demanded cash. 

The man had bought some beer, then handed her a note. 

'I started reading it,' Betty said, 'and it said "I don't want anyone to get hurt, take your money in the drawer, put it in a bag and give it to me."' 

He then lifted up his shirt to show a gun but Betty staunchly refused to hand over any money. 'I looked at him and I said "no," and he grinned at me, and picked up his purchases and left,' she said. 
The shocked clerk called 911 but got suspended by her bosses for not following company rules of handing over the cash then pressing the panic button. 

Betty hopes to get justice. 
She said: 'Right and wrong are important, and what he did was wrong. My outcome was right. No one was hurt and I was able to diffuse the situation from getting worse.'

Torture: In The Past, Adulterous Women & Homosexuals Were Punished by Stretching Their Anus or Vagina To Death

This must be some real torture/Pain. Thank God this generation was not born if not, they for don tear almost all the anus or nyas...#justsaying. 

Anyway in the middle Ages, torture was perceived as a legal method of attaining justice and of making the offenders confess about the crimes they were accused of. The prevailing rulers and those who participated in the spates of torture used these confessions as testimonies in the trials and inquires that ensued. 

There were different torture techniques for different crimes: the Judas Chair technique for sexual offenders, the Breast Ripper for crimes like blasphemy, spreading gossip, adultery and abortion. The Crocodile Shears was reserved for those who attempted to assassinate the king. And the Choke Pear.

The Choke Pear had several versions but all of them were used to inflict torture through the vaginal and rectal areas or the mouth. The device featured a screw, which would be used to expand any of the areas that it was inserted. The choke pear also featured sharp prongs at the tips of the segment, used to tear the throat, the cervical area or the intestines. This device was used to punish women accused of having intercourse with Satan, males who were perceived as having homosexual tendencies and on heretical priests.

After years of Marriage, Couple In Uk Realize That They Are Twins

 

Incest, Abomination, Tufiakwa....a whole lot of people would condemn this but before you be the first to throw that stone, here is the story .....

Separated at birth and raised by separate parents, the unnamed twins fell for each other and tied the knot without knowing they were brother and sister. They didn’t know they were blood relatives until after the wedding, following which they had the marriage annulled at a clandestine High Court hearing. A judge ruled the union to be legally invalid (as if they needed to be told).

The couple’s, or rather twin’s, plight  was brought to light by Lord Alton, a former British politician who was then fighting for children to have greater rights in knowing the identity of their biological parents. 

If you were a victim of this, what would you do? Feign ignorance and remain married or annul the marriage?

Phone saves Man's Life From Robber's Bullet

A petrol station clerk in Florida has been saved from a robber's bullet by his cell phone.The clerk had just minor injuries after a robber fired a bullet at his abdomen, Winter Garden Police said.

The man did not realise the bullet had been stopped by the phone until he pulled the device out of his shirt pocket.

The attempted robbery took place on in Winter Garden, a suburb of Orlando. A man entered the Hess gas station and asked a clerk for help. He then showed the worker a revolver and demanded that he open the safe. When the clerk could not open the safe, the robber ordered a second clerk to try. He was also unsuccessful.

The gunman fired a round at one of the clerks and fled.

Check Out A $300,000 Wrist Watch That Doesn't Tell Time

At least, Dbanj's expensive wrist watch which he said can buy a bently can tell the time but this wrist watch which cost $300,000 (N45,000,000) cant. All it can do is tell you whether it is day or night.

Swiss watchmaker Romain Jerome’s watch, ‘Day & Night’, made from oxidized steel salvaged from the Titanic (yes, the boat), doesn’t tell the time. Oh, it has two complex tourbillons (devices that conteract gravity and other perturbing force that affects the accuracy of the watch) all right, but the watch can only tell whether it’s day or night.

Yvan Arpa, company chief executive, quoted statistical studies to decipher how the watch better speaks of the ‘time-philosophy’ of today’s wealth. 

‘When you ask people what is the ultimate luxury, 80 percent answer ‘time’. Then when you look at other studies, 67 percent don’t look at their watch to tell what time it is,’ he told Reuters.

Yvan was also of the view that anyone is capable of purchasing a watch that tells time (that’s what they do, wrong?). But ‘only a truly discerning customer can buy one that doesn’t.’ The best part about this utterly useless device? The watch sold out within 48 hours of its launch.

Retiring Police Dogs In Nottinghamshire To be Given Penison

Lol...This is quiet hilarious. Retiring police dogs in Nottinghamshire are to be given a £500-a-year pension.

The county's police and crime commissioner announced plans for the three-year pension plan, saying the dogs had "worked hard all their lives" and deserved to be recognised. Paddy Tipping said the money would be given on request to the dogs' handlers to help them foot the cost of any vet bills.

"We give pensions to police officers and we look after (them) when they retire," he said. The dogs have worked hard all their lives and we should make some provision for them as well."

Around six police dogs retire in Nottinghamshire every year. Most go to live with the handler who has worked with them during their time in the force. Mr Tipping said he was "concerned" these officers have to pay for the dogs' food and medical bills.

"Let's be clear, if the officers didn't look after the dogs when they retire from the force, they would be put down," he said. The police officers become very fond of the dogs. They keep them and I don't think it's fair they have to pay all the bills."

Nottinghamshire has 26 police dogs which are able to sniff out drugs and explosives, search dangerous buildings and detain suspects. New recruits are trained when they are around 12 months old and usually retire when they are between seven-and-a-half and eight-and-a-half years old.

Pastor in Mississippi Bans Fried Chicken From Church Events

Mississippi pastor banned fried chicken at events as part of an anti-obesity campaign. Now, he is spreading the gospel about the Affordable Care Act, commonly known as Obamacare.

“Fried chicken has mysterious powers,” said Oak Hill Missionary Baptist Church pastor Michael Minor, who says you cannot just eat one piece.

Minor banned fried chicken at church dinners along with sugary drinks to help combat obesity.

“People are healthier, more energy. Their weight is down and once you get the weight down, you want to keep it down,” said Minor.

The pastor visited the White House in connection with First Lady Michelle Obama’s anti-obesity campaign. His new mission is now the Affordable Care Act.

“I think it looks like the site has had some problems, and it’s been a struggle to get consistent service,” said Minor.

Minor is working to help the uninsured sign up for the insurance coverage with the new federal marketplaces. His church is one of two in Mississippi that received a federal grant to help people sign up. Minor says the initiative will begin in earnest next month. He says at least 70 people so far have been trained to show people how to maneuver the government website.
