If you mix Tarantino's final shooting scene in Reservoir Dogs

Birds Fitted With Suicide Vests Are the New IED
The
Taliban reportedly has a new weapon in its crusade against the

Music Sounds Better With Daft Punk's Old Friend Alan Braxe
By
now a lot of people are familiar with that particularly buttery breed

Iced fog turns forest into real life Frozen magic kingdom

Remember the 90s Panic That Power Lines Caused Cancer?
"The
potential danger from EM fields is making millions of human beings into

The Common Mistakes That Make Your "Strong" Passwords Weak
By now, you probably think you know
the drill when it comes to passwords: Avoid pet's names, mix up letters,
