IOL: Inventor of rape device prepares for launch

A controversial device, which its inventor claims clamps itself to a rapist’s penis forcing him to seek medical treatment and be revealed to the police, will be launched by a South African woman on Wednesday.
The “Rapex” device is inserted into the vagina by a woman who feels she is at risk of rape, and if she is attacked, small burr-like teeth will attach themselves to the tip of the rapist’s erect penis, explained inventor Sonette Ehlers.
As he withdraws and becomes flaccid, it is only possible to remove the device by surgery, Ehlers said ahead of a launch and demonstration at Kleinmond near Cape Town.

This works better than one of those electric dog training collars.
Update, 9/24/2005:
In retrospect, what kind of a life is it when a woman practically expects to be raped on her way back from the grocery store?
This article from Amnesty International is a chilling summary of the state of human rights in South Africa.

Encyclopedia Dramatica

Posted by Void on 08/18/2005

Sock puppet – Encyclopedia Dramatica.

Just found this wonderful site yesterday. It’s all about the Internets, “invented by Al Gore and pluralized by George W. Bush”.

It’s also a great place to get tips on making your life interesting and everybody else’s lives miserable. And how to deal with dramatis personae who wish to make all the world their stage.

Like the Drama Whores who hang out with the mentally ill in support groups, manipulating people who actually need support into throwing pity parties for them. Nobody heals if an environment like that gets out of hand.

There are tips on creating Drama, important definitions such as “Mary Sue”- see previous post – and psychological profiles of various Internets Personality Disorders (IPD).

One of the more disturbing IPDs is “species dysmorphia“, a paraphilia in which the sufferer identifies too strongly with the animal cartoon characters from Saturday mornings. You probably know one or two of these. The chubby neighbors with too many plushies in the back window of their car?

Confused? Don’t worry, The Governator will explain it to you.

All-in-all a good laugh. Unless you’re a Mary Sue.

What Species of Mary Sue Are You?"

Results:
Mulier badasstica pseudofeminista, or Grrl Sue
You are Mulier badasstica pseudofeminista,
the Grrl Sue. Your aggressively bitchy
“feminist” stance only causes men /
boys / male elves to posture the more, and you
fall for it. And them. Surprise, surprise.

Mitochondria Food

Posted by Void on 08/08/2005

Caveat: I’m an electrical engineer. Do not construe this to be medical advice.
It is NOT.
I have chosen to use allopathic meds as the basis for my treatment, and I will not change my mind – at least not until after menopause! But with my pdoc’s blessing I am allowed not only to take supplements, but to choose them myself. I don’t take the supplement-du-jour, I wait until they’ve been proven out and people have been using them for a couple of years.
I am taking:
SAMe, mitochondria food. It has been proven effective in mood disorders and my psychiatrist suggested this one. A couple of studies showed some anomalies in mitochondral functioning in bipolars, probably mediated by the cell rather than in the mitochondria themselves.
The mitochondria, small organelles within each of our cells, provide the main source of energy at the cellular level. They use glucose and oxygen to modify a molecule called Adenosine Diphosphate (ADP) and change it into another substance called Adenosine TriPhosphate (ATP). Coincidentally our cells break down ATP for energy, and so the mitochondria are still with us. Without them, we’d very quickly die.
Incidentally, mitochondria are symbionts – they are foreign, they even have their own separate DNA. Fascinating stuff. They must have been parasites that infested our prokaryote ancestors.
Pantothenic acid – another mitochondria food. I’m going to choose between this one and SAMe at some point.
Lipoic acid – necessary in utilizing Essential Fatty Acids (EFA). You’ve heard the fuss about Omega-3s and Omega-6s. EFAs are an effective single supplement for bipolar disorder. There has even been preliminary information relating ADHD in children to low fat diets. Your brain is over 60% fat.
On the topic of evolution again, there some evidence that the sudden brain growth that resulted in our species was enabled by an increase in EFAs in the diet. It’s likely that this level of EFAs wasn’t available when we came down out of the trees and into the grasslands. However, the level of EFAs needed could have come from seafood, from our protohominid ancestors who found a seashore environment.

Spirituality

Posted by Void on 08/07/2005

Spirituality doesn’t have to take the form of a belief in a god, or even in an intelligence. It especially doesn’t equate to organized religion. In fact, churches have to discourage religious epiphanies in the general membership, lest their god tells someone outside of the power structure something the church elders don;t want to hear.

I am an electrical engineer, and I really, really like what I do. I am also a Master in Usui Shiki Ryoho. I like that too, but for different reasons. Reiki isn’t a religion, it is a modality with spiritual overtones. This isn’t the Occult, it is a simple technological limitation, that frequencies outside our limits of detection actually exist. After that, make the great leap into the void… in some way that I do not yet understand, we can act as transducers. Do headphones understand piezoelectricity?

Chaos in the extreme becomes perfect order. Chaos also has a fractal similarity with scale that enables us to understand the cosmos through generalization of human-scale ideas. Make chaos your god, and try to find the order in it.
