i have a false tooth filled with a placebo in case i'm ever captured and need to be a control subject

Modern Star Trek needs to stop being so concerned with looking cool and return to its roots of being about horny nerds doing diplomacy in pajamas.

Some ya’ll who are younger need to google Frank Serpico and read about his time in the NYPD and what the cops did to him and attempted to do to him up until the late 90′s. He literally had to go into hiding in Italy and Switzerland and multiple times people tried to kill him.

Damn, NYPD is so bad, Mafia started protecting good cops

This is an awesome use of what is probably a master's degree if not a doctorate and I am 100% thrilled that she shared it even though it was embarrassing and she squeaked.

Thank you, adorable scientist, for making people's lives better.

As an Australian, THIS WOMAN IS A FUCKING GODSEND.
