I always found it fascinating the control the guy in the picture shows in regards to pain. He seems to be in some sort of meditating state, its amazing what one could do when they focus on something. "As he burned he never moved a muscle, never uttered a sound." Just saw the video on you-tube again. It gives me such a weird feeling to watch, hard to describe, sadness is only part of it. Here is my contribution: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_environmental_issues Problems that effect us all, maybe we can still save this world, no point in giving up on this planet just yet. Knowledge is just the first step, we must educate ourselves, and then find solutions. | ||

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleipner_A http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_election,_1876 Some stuff I remember from my numerical analysis math course that our prof showed us.One is kinda tragic but I found it pretty interesting and funny,I remember that course the most from that semester. As far as I can tell the articles don't go to deep into the math that caused the shit storms but I guess you can find it somewhere for yourself on the internet if you search.The lectures that I have with these examples and detailed explanations are all in Croatian so I doubt its going to be much of a use for most of you. Errors are serious business yo. | ||

I found this article reading a similar list of wikipedia articles posted on reddit a while ago. I have the exact same thing happen to me, but only on 5 or 6 occasions tops since I was a kid. I always though it was normal since it happened very rarely, and never talked about it. It's a loud BANG of sorts, hard to describe like an explosion but only in your head and almost like it's more the kind of sound an airplane makes when it breaks the sound barrier. It's a weird sensation, you open your eyes at once and freeze, heart pumping and all. I also get the feeling that something absolutely horrible happened, it always takes a few seconds to calm down. I noticed it only happens when I'm almost asleep, and only if I'm laying on my left side, never happened when I sleep on the right side which is the side I usually sleep on. Did you notice anything about your body position, or something recurent when it happens? | ||

My favorites I didn't know so far are the radio intrusion, the permanent broadcasts, the headless chicken and the mass psychogenic illness phenomena. Here's mine: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unexplained_sounds | ||

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retina#Spatial_encoding I didn't realize that eye retina performs data compression using an edge detection filter. Another one if you have a lot time to waste: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Action_potential | ||

I can't remember exactly how long ago it was when it happened to me last time, but around 10 months at the most (I moved to a new apartment 10 months ago and it has happened here). I haven't really paid attention to details during the events, but I will from now on. The only thing I can remember happening each time is the loud bang, waking up, heart racing and being terrified for a few seconds. The sound is similar to an underwater bomb in my case, at least that's how I remember it. Similar to your case, it happens when I am just about to fall asleep or soon thereafter (pretty hard to say  ).I've always just assumed it was from a dream or something. | ||

This was written on the first page, and http://xefer.com/wikipedia was linked. Also, 15 pages is not true for everything, Achaemenid Empire takes 17-18 pages + Show Spoiler + Xerxes I of Persia takes 20 according to http://xefer.com/wikipedia but it takes some wierd redirect routes | ||

If only the first party is able to 'decrypt' it, it's considered gibberish :D Watched a rather interesting TV show in which they found an individuals deceased step father who had matching hand writing that was nearly 100% identical with the Zodiac Killer, aswell as the mask he allegedly wore when he stabbed the two kids in the park. They send the mask off to the FBI but the FBI refused to give them any kind of information on what they discovered. | ||

Not trying to be the religious type, but you supposedly can go to an wiki article and get to "Jesus" in some amount that I forget, but it was like 5-10 links, by choosing the links (not just the first one). | ||
