Awesome Stuff From This Week 1/13

A woman in England coughed up her own tumor. It was an extremely aggressive kind of cancer with a 50/50 survival rate… except that she somehow managed to cough up all the cancer cells. Y'all have fun with that thought next time you have a coughing fit.

Stateside, a homeless girl is a semifinalist in the Intel Science Talent Search. Warning, video at the link. Because no one writes fucking articles anymore.

I don't play video games* but I spent a frightening amount of time during the back half of this week watching video game reviews over here. Warning, these are also videos but they're completely hilarious. With abundant filthy language and unexpected dildo clip art. So, hilariously filthy. You probably shouldn't watch them at work.

And the by now viral Fotoshop by Adobé video. I was just remarking to my sister the other day that we've reached a point in our culture where the standard of beauty has become unattainable not only for the vast majority of the population, but even for those select few individuals who have been chosen to represent the standard of beauty. This is very depressing in one sense and extremely freeing in another.

Any cool stories or sites that you've stumbled across recently? Feel free to share!

*That don't involve motion control or on very special occasions plastic guitar like controllers. I played Portal 2 for ten minutes the other day and spent the entire rest of the night with the spins while sober. Unpleasant.
