Protesters carry a man injured during the storming of the Green Zone

A weekly protest targeting the center Iraq’s government spiraled once again into chaos on Friday with bursts of gunfire and reports of dozens injured.
Iraqi security forces used tear gas, water cannons, and live bullets to beat back throngs of demonstrators, most of them Shiite Muslims, who’d broken through barriers in the heavily-fortified Green Zone in Baghdad. For the second time in less than a month, protestors managed to enter government buildings and occupy them for several hours. The Iraqi army later declared a curfew across Baghdad, the BBC and local media reported.

Adult FriendFinder Creator Is On A Quest To Find Robot Souls

The internet pioneer wants to use art to find them

An internet pioneer who first taught the world how to find friendship, love, and sex online a quarter century ago is trying to determine at what point artificial intelligence develops emotional intelligence, and he thinks he can do it with an art contest.
About 31 different robots competed for $100,000 in prizes at the first annual International Robot Art Competition. The vote was based on 2,200 votes cast on Facebook as well as judgment from six art critics who have experience working with technology. The fan and judge favorite was TAIDA from the National Taiwan University. TAIDA won first place and $30,000 for several Pointillism-style works, including a still life of fruit, landscape of the Taiwan coast, and a portrait of Albert Einstein.

9 Amazing Facts About The Vagina

8000 Nerve Endings in the Clitoris

What we commonly refer to as the vagina is actually made up of several parts. The outer area is called the vulva, made up of the inner and outer labia (“lips”), the clitoris, the clitoral hood, and the urethra. The true “vagina” is actually the interior area, which includes the cervix, uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes. The clitoris is the organ exclusively reserved for a woman's pleasure during sex – as so, it contains 8,000 nerve-endings.

This sounds all well and good compared to the glans of the penis, which has only 3500. But, if you're comparing nerve-endings to the ENTIRE penis, including foreskin, that number, er, jacks up to 24,000. (Sorry, ladies - thought you had us beat.)
