The Pope Is Getting His Own Twitter Account

quote...''While the Pope may not be the biggest fan of social media, he has nevertheless recognized its ability to reach out to his flock, and maybe even gain new adherents (or 'followers').

Pope Benedict XVI is set to become the first pontiff to register a personal Twitter account, in an attempt to change with the times and use new technology, rather than outdated missives to communicate.''

The Weird History of Wonder Woman in TV, Movies and Beyond

'' Poor Wonder Woman. Her television show got scrapped without even airing one episode, and her movie's been in development hell since the early 1990s. Batman and Superman both get big-screen reboots, but Diana Prince can't even get booted up for the first time.

It's not for lack of trying. Many attempts have been made to adapt Wonder Woman to other media over the years, besides her successful 1970s TV show. Everybody tried to reinvent Wonder Woman, from the creator of Lois and Clark to the inventors of She-Ra. Here's the complete history of failed Wonder Woman adaptations. ''

15 of the Most Ridiculous Lawsuits Ever Filed

It’s no secret that we live in a litigious country, but we often forget just how ridiculous people can be in a society that permits anybody to sue anybody. These are 15 of the most frivolous lawsuits we could find, and even worse — some of them actually won.

The Case of the $54 Million Pants

A DC Administrative Law Judge got more than a bit upset when a local dry-cleaner misplaced his pants. He sued them for $54 million in damages, kicking off what is now the infamous Pearson v. Chung and the Great American Pants Suit. The case went all the way to trial, in which Judge Pearson represented himself, and lost. He then lost his seat as a judge, along with any credibility he had left in the legal ranks. The Chungs, on the other hand, shut down the shop where it all took place.



Sexual Whiplash

Whiplash is already widely seen as a completely fabricated injury in many cases, but this is just taking things too far. A 27-year-old man from Michigan was driving his car one day when another car hit him from behind in an extremely minor rear-end collision. Four years later, the man sued the driver of the other car for changing his sexuality. Apparently he had turned gay over those four years and left his wife, and he felt that the only cause could be the accident. The disgusting part about this is that he actually won the case, and $200,000 from the other driver.



Defective Beer Goggles

Beer makes a lot of people do stupid things, but none of them has ever been so grandiose as this. Richard Overton sued Anheuser-Busch in 1991 for false advertisement. He claimed that commercials depicting men who drink Budweiser beers had made him believe that drinking the beer would surely get him beautiful women in mass quantities, and that this belief had driven him to buy and drink more than he would have otherwise. This of course resulted in emotional distress, mental injury, and financial loss — in his own mind. The case was thrown out.

Iranian Ninjas

these women took the hijab and the chador, the two articles of clothing Muslim women are forced to wear to hide them from the world, and they’ve turned them in to elements of stealth combat. The clothing that oppressed them is now what makes them deadly. That’s so goddamn badass – it almost sounds like the plot of a Tarantino grindhouse throwback, in which a group of fed-up Muslim chicks decide to fight back against the ruthless men that oppressed them by using their clothing to fade in to the night and learning kung fu.

Telepathy machine reconstructs speech from brainwaves

quote [ When you read this sentence to yourself, it's likely that you hear the words in your head. Now, in what amounts to technological telepathy, others are on the verge of being able to hear your inner dialogue too. By peering inside the brain, it is possible to reconstruct speech from the activity that takes place when we hear someone talking. ]
