It is a deplorable but well known fact that one of the most common causes of insanity, imbecility and feeble mindedness, especially in youth, is due to masturbation or self abuse. This is about equally true of both sexes.

Ancient Pagan Vessels Found in Israel
A rare stash of more than 100 pagan worship vessels, all of them intact and dating back more than 3,500 years, have been found in northern Israel, archaeologists said on Monday.
The items were discovered inside a natural hollow in the bedrock which was uncovered during excavations near Tel Qashish, close to the northern port city of Haifa.
Among the items recovered were goblets and bowls, a vessel used for burning incense, and a cup featuring the moulded face of a woman, which would have been used for dedicating a ritual drink offering — or libation — to a god.
Ancient Roman Gladiator Cemetery Discovered
Archaeologists have ultimately come to a conclusion and on Sunday announced that the 80 skeletons that they have dug out from under the city of York, northern England since 2003 were the remains of gladiators and the place is believed to be the ‘unique’ cemetery of the ancient gladiators around 1,800 years ago.

Thanks to an advertiser who wishes to remain anonymous, cars and trucks on Arizona Highway 260 in East Central Arizona are driving by a billboard advertisement that recently went up, bearing President Obama’s face on a mock U.S. $100,000,000,000,000 (One-Hundred Trillion Dollar) bill.
The billboard’s caption: “But Who Will Pay the Piper?”
This is your Brain on Computers
Scientists say juggling e-mail, phone calls and other incoming information can change how people think and behave. They say our ability to focus is being undermined by bursts of information.
These play to a primitive impulse to respond to immediate opportunities and threats. The stimulation provokes excitement — a dopamine squirt — that researchers say can be addictive. In its absence, people feel bored.
