Paperclip boogie
This video was shot on the Rokko Liner, an automated guideway transit system in Kobe, Japan which links the man-made Rokko Island to Sumiyoshi Station on the JR Kobe Line. The paperclips were placed on the floor of the train. When the train accelerates and brakes, the paperclips stand on end and appear to dance in response to the magnetic field produced by the electric current that drives the motors located under the floor. The Kobe New Transit Company, which operates the liner says extra shielding is being installed just in case the magnetism could harm the human body.
LEMUR LOVE
The Worst Person on the Internet
40-year-old Missouri mother Lori Drew is there because, in the summer of 2006, she pretended to be a teenage boy called Josh Evans and gave 13-year-old Megan Meier cause to kill herself. Drew, who apparently boasted to her hairdresser about the hoax she had hatched, wanted to get back at Meier who had quarrelled with her daughter Sarah and created the fake 18-year-old so that she could get Megan to confess secret desires and find out what she thought about her daughter.
"Josh" soon got nasty and threatened to "defriend" her, saying that he had heard she was not a very nice person. In November 2006, Drew sent Megan a message that read: "You are a bad person and everybody hates you. Have a shitty rest of your life. The world would be a better place without you." Megan hanged herself in her bedroom cupboard.
