10 Sexting Horror Stories That Will Make You Cringe So Hard, Your Face Will Hurt If you've ever sent or received a sext, you probably have a few sexting horror stories that you'd like to erase from your memory for good. Same. There's a reason people prefer to sext on Snapchat rather than over text. Snaps disappear and, with them, any physical evidence of your failed attempts at dirty talk. I mean, have you ever looked back at the sexts you sent to someone long after the moment has passed? I bet you could barely recognize yourself in them because they're so outrageously thirsty and just straight-up bad.  The good news is that your absolute worst sexts make for some of the best stories. Personally, I like to share the one about me accidentally sending an exaggerated, double-chin selfie that was meant for my BFF... to the person I was sexting instead. What? I can't multitask while I sext? (Apparently not.) I was embarrassed because that p...

This Woman’s Runny Nose Was Actually Spinal Fluid 52-year-old Kendra Jackson from Omaha, Nebraska, had been suffering from a runny nose for quite some time. Her runny nose occurred two and a half years after she got into a serious car accident, but doctors didn’t see any correlation – they just put it down to allergies, however Jackson knew it was more than just that. Her runny nose started to worsen in 2015, “ When it didn’t go away, I kept going back and forth to the doctors, and they prescribed every kind of medicine you can think of, and my nose just kept on running ,” she said. After having a runny nose for more than two years, she went to see physicians at the University of Nebraska Medical Center earlier this year, and learned the real reason behind it. The physicians discovered that her nasal discharge was actually cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), leaking from a small hole in her skull that occurred when she had the crash. A rhinologist at the medical center, Dr. Chri...

Women Absorb And Retain DNA From Every Man They Have Sex With Women retain and carry living DNA from every man with whom they have sexual intercourse, according to a new study by the University of Seattle and the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. The  study , which discovered the startling information by accident, was originally trying to determine if women who have been pregnant with a son might be more predisposed to certain neurological diseases that occur more frequently in males. But as the scientists picked apart the female brain, the study began to veer wildly off course. As it turns out, the female brain is even more mysterious than we previously thought. The study found that female brains often harbor “ male microchimerism “, or in other words, the presence of male DNA that originated from another individual, and are genetically distinct from the cells that make up the rest of the woman. According to the study: “ 63%...
