(also en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drukpa_Kunley)

He was known for his crazy methods of enlightening other beings, mostly women, which earned him the title "The Saint of 5,000 Women". Among other things, women would seek his blessing in the form of sex.

He is credited with introducing the practice of phallus paintings in Bhutan and placing statues of them on rooftops to drive away evil spirits.[2] Because of this power to awaken unenlightened beings, Kunley's penis is referred to as the "Thunderbolt of Flaming Wisdom" and he himself is known as the "fertility saint".

Some of his most famous performances include urinating on sacred thankhas, stripping down naked or offering his testicles to a famous Lama. He is one of very few Buddhist teachers to almost always appear in Bhutanese paintings topless. It is known that Drukpa Kunley would not bless anyone who came to seek his guidance and help unless they brought a beautiful woman and a bottle of wine.

This is the guy who actually converted Bhutan to Buddhism.

Please edit this to say "having snowsex"

That podcast aside (which I didn't bother to check) the others look perfect legit, and if anything they're skeptical of the primary accounts. Here's from the JSTOR article.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyatlov_Pass_incident

For anybody who wants a bit of spooks, here is tl:dr, but the more you read into it, the scarier it gets

>group of geologists disappear in Ural mountains
>rescue party finds their tent buried in snow, with hole cut in the side from within
>barefoot tracks leading from the hole to nearby forest
>remains of a campfire on the edge of the forest
>three dead bodies around the fire and three more between the fire and the camp, obviously trying to get to the tent
>all of them only in their underwear and died of hypothermia

>the remaining three bodies were found year later bit off in the forest
>these ones had some clothes, and didn't die of hypothermia
>after medical examination, it was found out their chest and skills have been crushed, the force of the impact equaling to crashing car
>meanwhile their skin bodies carried no bruises, scratches and no signs of any combat
>all three had dark orange tanned skin

probably some weird case of intense radiation with the details purposefully glazed over by the Soviet government

That is one of the main theories, but the radiation would affect all of them, and all of their skin would turn orange, not just the ones found last.

Killed by communism.

the oddest thing is that all of them cleanly died on the spot or nearby. No survivors, even some sort of freak accident is unlikely to kill them all. There's no detailed debris or damage to trees around the site

Well, its pretty clear that the half-naked six died of hypothermia, which isn't really all that weird. What makes me wonder is why did they cut open the tent and run away from it in middle of the night in such a rush, that they didn't even take any clothes? There were no animal or other tracks around the tent but their own and avalanche was also highly unlikely considering the surroundings.

They just died of exposure. Paradoxical undressing is a common symptom of hypothermia, as is burrowing, and the tongue was eaten by a wild animal or bird.

And what about the crashed bones? The medical report clearly states that human or animal would be incapable of such force and even if so, there would be marks of struggle on the skin.

>At the start of the War of the First Coalition Tarrare joined the French Revolutionary Army.
>With military rations unable to satisfy his large appetite, he would eat any available food from gutters and refuse heaps but his condition still deteriorated through hunger.
>Suffering from exhaustion, he was hospitalised and became the subject of a series of medical experiments to test his eating capacity, in which, among other things, he ate a meal intended for 15 people in a single sitting, ate live cats, snakes, lizards and puppies, and swallowed an eel whole without chewing.
>Despite his unusual diet, he was of normal size and appearance, and showed no signs of mental illness other than what was described as an apathetic temperament.

>Since nuclear power gave it almost unlimited range, the missile could cruise in circles over the ocean until ordered "down to the deck" for its supersonic dash to targets in the Soviet Union. The SLAM as proposed would carry a payload of many nuclear weapons to be dropped on multiple targets, making the cruise missile into an unmanned bomber. After delivering all its warheads, the missile could then spend weeks flying over populated areas at low altitudes, causing tremendous ground damage with its shock wave and radiation from its unshielded reactor. When it finally lost enough power to fly, and crash-landed, the engine would have a good chance of spewing deadly radiation for months to come.

>British-born Thomas Hicks of the United States ended up the winner of the event, although he was aided by measures that would not have been permitted in later years. Ten miles from the finish Hicks led the race by a mile and a half, but he had to be restrained from stopping and lying down by his trainers. From then until the end of the race, Hicks received several doses of strychnine sulfate (a common rat poison, which stimulates the nervous system in small doses) mixed with brandy

Why is Louisiana such an irredeemable shithole?

You'll find that St. Louis is in Missouri.

Relevant question. Is Wikipedia generally considered pretty good for general history articles? I am often impressed by the level of detail when reading about wars or empires or other such events.

Good read. Interesting man. Thanks.

So? Answer the question, why is Louisiana such an irredeemable shithole?

Really, that's the sorta thing that pays for itself - and one could probably bankroll a real nation of three times the size on the profits.

Slavery is a cancerous institution, both because it creates intense social division and repression, and because you need black people to do it right.
