OPEN POST: It's Friday the 13th, Bitches!

By

Happy Friday the 13th, you lovely hors, and hooray for bad luck and superstition! Here are a few fun facts about the day we get to suffer even more misfortune and adversity than usual! Woo hoo!

  • Ancient Babylon's Code of Hammurabi omits the number 13 in its list of laws.
  • Wall Street: According to The Stress Management Center & Phobia Institute, an average of $700-$800 million dollars are lost every Friday the 13th because people are too afraid to travel, make large purchases, or conduct business. 
  • The Friday the 13th film franchise was the highest grossing-horror franchise in the world until Halloween (2018) was released. Still, it's considered one of the most successful media franchises in America.
  • In 1881, members of "The Thirteen Club", a secret society noted for its philanthropic practices, attempted to dispel superstition surrounding the date by walking under ladders and spilling salt. During its existence, members included five US Presidents: Grover Cleveland, William McKinley, Chester Arthur, Benjamin Harrison, and Theodore Roosevelt.
  • Many tall buildings do not have a 13th floor.
  • Murderers disproportionately have 13 letters in their name. Some examples are:
    • Charles Manson
    • Jeffrey Dahmer
    • Aileen Wuornos
    • Vladimir Putin
Now get out there and tempt fate!

OPEN POST: PROJECT BABY FACE IS A VANITY DISASTER!

By

I love my headline here. It reads like something out of some shameless 50s tabloid headline about an alien boy hidden away from the world because he has the head of a 4-month-old infant. Well, in his ever more bizarre quest for youth, the disturbed but too rich to go broke in his absurd waste of money, 2 million this year alone, Bryan Johnson has discovered what us vain bitches have known for a while. He could have paid me a cool million to quietly whisper in his ear, "Hey, Bry, loss of fat in your face can age you." No duh? One look at a fat pudge of a baby and an 80-year-old is plenty to prove something obvious, yet this fool and his money part to discover these groundbreaking insights into aging. This genius has a team, and his goal is to "bio" hack aging, having once absconded with the blood of his teenage son to trick his middle-aged cells or some such nonsense. His cells laughed at his ass and refused to change.  Schadenfreude is my oldest friend, and I enjoy
