WALK, Like an Egyptian

This image comes from a friend of a friend. In case you haven't heard, Egypt is in turmoil as the people try to topple the government and send their President Mubarak packing, ending his reign that began in 1981.

10 Creepy Plants That Shouldn't Exist

We spend a lot of time here at Cracked pointing out horrors of nature that slither on the land and lurch through the sea. But staying under the radar in nature's landscape of nightmares is the twisted carnival of things that grow out of the ground.

Dugway Army base on lockdown

DUGWAY -- The U.S. Army's Dugway Proving Ground was on lockdown Wednesday evening as part of "an ongoing security operation," according to spokeswoman Paula Thomas.


Reports of nearly 1,000 employees stranded at the base, some in their cars, went unconfirmed but Dugway Proving Ground Commander Col. William E. King, IV, said food and beverages were being brought in.


"As you know measures like these (lockdown of our gates) are not taken lightly," he said. "No one is in immediate danger but these steps are required." King said he would open the gates "as soon as I can."


The gates to the facility were closed prior to the 5:30 p.m. shift ending. Workers normally scheduled to go home were not allowed to leave, while those coming into the area were also not let in.

Dugway encompasses more than 800,000 acres of Utah's west desert, where more than 2,000 people call home. It is a government-owned facility used by the U.S. Army Reserves and the U.S. National Guard for maneuver training. It is also a U.S. Army Test and Evaluation Command center where tests are occasionally run on defenses against biological and chemical weaponry.

EDIT to add new details:

It is being reported that there is a media blackout now in Utah about the event. Unconfirmed report that a scientist came down ill after coming home from work at lab and died in the hospital four hours later.


Some sources are now categorizing the event as a "national terror alert."


All police and emergency scanners in the region have been silenced.

No Tears For Dead Cops

With the recent rash of shootings and murders of police officers, Facebook has recently launched a "causes" page to whip up community support and outrage. But is outrage really called for? Or is it really little surprise that the police are finally getting a hard dose of their own medicine?

Show your support, of NOT supporting the police in their time of "need" by liking the FB page that will be linked here below. This is NOT an endorsement of murder in any way, but a "tough shit, we got no tears for you now after all the shit you pulled."

Please show your support and take a stand AGAINST tyranny:

Promiscuity 'part of job' for UK undercover officers

UNITED KINGDOM - Police used sex as a tool during undercover operations - and tactical "promiscuity", sanctioned by senior commanders, was viewed as "part of the job", a former agent revealed today.


The officer, who worked in a secretive unit of the Metropolitan Police for four years, said sexual relationships with activists were common among those gathering intelligence from anarchist, left-wing and environmental groups.

Hospital patients are dumped at homeless shelter

Haven for Hope had just opened its men's dorm in April when the first discharged patient showed up.


It was evening at the homeless center and Haven CEO George Block was walking along the sidewalk when he spied a woman getting out of a taxi. She was in a hospital gown and pushing an IV pole, with the intravenous line still attached to her.


“I asked the taxi driver what he was doing,” Block recalled. “He said he had a note saying to drop the woman off at this address. The women's dorms weren't even open yet, so we had no place to put her. We sent her back to the hospital.”


Since then, the practice of “medical dumping” — in which hospitals try to transfer their still-sick homeless patients to homeless shelters or other hospitals — has increased at Haven, officials allege.

5 Real Deleted Bible Scenes In Which Jesus Kicks Some Ass

The Gospels that made it into the Bible pretty much skip from the birth of Jesus Christ to his adulthood, but there are other documents that chronicle the adventures of Jesus Christ: Boy Wonder. They're part of something called the New Testament Apocrypha, a series of books deemed unfit for inclusion due to concerns over the message they'd send or, in some cases, the number of faces they'd melt with their sheer awesomeness. Most of the stories are pretty normal fare -- healing lepers and raising the dead -- but some are so insane that we learn that the answer to, What would Jesus do? is Whatever the hell he wants.
