NYT:
CRANSTON, R.I. — She is 16, the daughter of a firefighter and a nurse, a self-proclaimed nerd who loves Harry Potter and Facebook. But Jessica Ahlquist is also an outspoken atheist who has incensed this heavily Roman Catholic city with a successful lawsuit to get a prayer removed from the wall of her high school auditorium, where it has hung for 49 years.

" I am in love with you, and I’m not in the business of denying myself the simple pleasure of saying true things. I am in love with you,and I know that love is just a shout into the void,and that oblivion is inevitable,and that we’re all doomed and that there will come a day when all our labour has been returned to dust,and I know the sun will swallow the only earth we’ll ever have, and I am in love with you."

The Darvaza Gas Crater
Reblogged from weird-bizarre-creepy
The Darvaza Gas Crater in Turkmenistan also known as “The Door to Hell” was discovered when a rig drilling for gas hit the gas-filled cavern. The hole was soon lit on fire to avoid releasing methane into the air and has been burning for 40 years.
