Offbeat: All anime nerds should overreact like this from time to time

  • My mom threw out my Gundam action figures. Time to light my house on fire! The world’s biggest, most pathetic anime nerd (who is 29, making an even stronger case for “pathetic”) chose to handle the situation the rational way. He doused himself in kerosene and then set his house ablaze. The Kasai City, Japan resident nor his mother were injured, but the two-story home was completely lost because he couldn’t stand the idea of living without his !&#&^(^ action figures. ^_^ source

Offbeat: Redheads are in fact different from the rest of us, say dentists

  • A gene mutation makes them feel pain more. The American Dental Association recently published a study in their medical journal and found that redheads are more sensitive to pain at the dentist – requiring more anesthesia and often avoiding dentist visits as a result. The ADA blames the gene MC1R, which redheads and some brown-headed stepchildren also have. We wish we understood, guys. But we don’t. Sorry. source
