On Friday, the law firm of Steven J. Baum, the largest foreclosure law firm in the country, threw a Halloween party just like they do every year.

Demographers are uncertain exactly when the world human population will actually cross the 7 billion mark, but the UN today figured today was good enough. They symbolically named the above baby, Danica Camach as the 7 billionth human on the planet, though of course India and China both claimed they had the 7 billionth, but who the fuck knows.

Before the “Holy fuck Steve Jobs oh noes” stuff starts, this public eulogy to her brother by Mona Simpson is pretty incredible stuff. She didn’t meet Steve until she was 25, but here she pours her heart out on the most important man in her life, how he struggled for years trying to beat cancer and ultimately… not failed, but achieved death in his own way.
I remember my...

There’s plenty of fake blood to go around this Halloween, but a team of researchers at the University of Edinburgh have created the first oxygen-carrying artificial blood from stem cells.
The artificial blood could go into human trials in as little as two years, and there’s still the matter of being able to mass produce the stuff that needs to be worked out.

Skinless Heidi Klum just won the celebrity...
Unlike you or I, celebrities generally have the money and the personal assistants, professional make-up artists and costume designers at their disposal to create Halloween costumes that are better than the store-bought kind. But no costume, celebrity or not can compare to Heidi Klum’s epic use of detailed body paint to turn herself into a skinless cadaver. She even had herself wheeled into...

WatchIHC After Dark: “Manson”, the creepiest documentary on the Manson family you’ll ever see

You and I may know Juggalos as just stupid fans of awful rap that like to get together dressed in black and white clown face paint to drink, smoke weed and do shrooms, but the FBI recently put Juggalos on a gang watchlist, saying that some groups have begun to go beyond old fashioned American drug and Faygo fueled fun and into organized crime.
You might think Insane Clown Posse’s...
