4rachnid:

I hate to come off as insensitive because I really do have sympathy for those whose houses were destroyed in Oklahoma but I mean, do we really need to make a huge deal out of it? Lately the news feels the need to take everything and make it one big huge deal. I mean, if you live in…

Numbers stations are mysterious shortwave radio channels of indiscernible origin that exist in countries all across the world and have been reported since World War 1. They are identifiable by the unusual contents of their broadcasts: seemingly random sequences of numbers, words, letters, tunes, and Morse code, usually spoken by artificially generated voices of women and children. 
The most common theory regarding the purpose of these bizarre stations is that they’re used by governments the world over to secretly transmit encrypted commands and messages to spies. That said, even though numbers stations have been discovered all over the globe and in any number of different languages, no government has ever officially acknowledged their existence. While the espionage theory is a logical one, with no official confirmation of their purpose the jury is still out.
One particularly odd station, UVB-76, has existed since the late 1970s and has broadcast a simple, repetitive buzzing tone 24 hours a day ever since. On very rare occasions, however, listeners have reported a Russian voice interrupting the buzz to read out sequences of numbers and words, always in a consistent format — this happened once in 1997, once in 2002, once in 2006, 56 times in 2010, and 14 in 2011. As with all numbers stations, its true purpose is and will probably remain unknown, but the increase in frequency of whatever it’s doing is certainly odd.
You can listen to well over 100 recordings of numbers stations for free on archive.org but be forewarned that they’re all kind of, well, eerie. They feel like something you shouldn’t be listening to, which stands to reason since apparently you’re not supposed to know they exist.


These things are super cool

Grandmothers & Granddaughters

Early photo (possibly 1948 to 1950’s) of women in the IDF with their refurbished and reissued German Mauser K98 rifles. The current generation of IDF women are armed with a cadre of different firearms depending on their unit. Although they are commonly seen with U.S supplied M16 and M4 rifles, some units are fielding the new Tavor bullpup. One generation to another.

In all seriousness Idris Elba as the 12th Doctor would be a great casting choice because he’d kill it and we’d get to find out just exactly how many anglophiles are also gigantic racists

First I want him as James Bond

Can he play everything? Like 12 angry men. Staring Idris Elba, Idris Elba, Idris Elba, Idris Elba, Idris Elba, Idris Elba, Idris Elba, Idris Elba, Idris Elba, Idris Elba, and Idris Elba. Also featuring Idris Elba.

i think the reason perfume commercials are so weird is because they have to advertise a smell without using smells
