Notes from the study: Although 58.8% of female respondents reported having ever faked/pretended orgasm, 67.3% of those who had ever faked orgasm no longer did. Women who continued to fake orgasms were more likely to indicate embarrassment talking about sex with their partner in explicit ways and were less likely to agree that they and their partner are able to talk specifically about what makes sex more pleasurable for them. More than half (55.4%) of women reported they had wanted to communicate with a partner regarding sex but decided not to; the most common reasons were not wanting to hurt a partner’s feelings (42.4%), not feeling comfortable going into detail (40.2%), and embarrassment (37.7%). Greater self-reported sexual satisfaction was associated with more comfortable sexual communication

In 1930, the Indiana Bell building - an 8-story steel and brick building built in 1907 - was moved 16 meters to the south, rotated 90 degrees, and then moved 30 meters to the west. The whole task took 4 weeks to complete. The work was done with such precision that the building continued to operate during the entire duration of the move. A movable wooden sidewalk allowed employees and the public to enter and leave the building at any time while the move was in progress. The company did not lose a single day of work nor interrupt their service during the entire period. Incredibly most of the power needed to move the building was provided by hand-operated jacks while a steam engine also offered some support. Each time the jacks were pumped, the house moved 3/8th of an inch. Source: An Incredible Move: The Indiana Bell Telephone Building, AmusingPlanet.com Here's a non-looping gif I also made:

This week we take a look at the impact smartphones had on the camera industry.  Few industries have been hit as hard as the camera industry by the advent of Smartphones.  The camera industry saw slow but steady growth from the  beginning of the 1950s up until the late 90s, when the advent of digital cameras gave rise to an explosion in  camera  sales. Up until then, owning and operating a camera was a costly  endeavour  as a 35mm camera roll, the most common at the time, would only take up to 36 shots and you would then have to pay someone to develop these shots on paper. Then, the digital camera arrived, and took the world

Percentage of Americans with passports over time.  "Over the past 30 years, the share of U.S. citizens holding a passport has increased dramatically. Last year, a grand total of 21.4 million passports were issued in the U.S., the highest number ever recorded. Putting that number into perspective, a mere 6.3 million were issued back in 1997. That year, only 15 percent of Americans possessed a passport, though that's still far more than in 1990 when just four percent had one, according to the BBC. The pace of growth accelerated further in January 2007 when U.S. citizens traveling by air between the U.S. and Canada, Mexico, Central and South America, the Caribbean, and Bermuda were required to have a valid passport. Previously, it was possible for them to enter those countries without one but the law was changed in the aftermath of 9/11.

As late as 1939, the United States had a well-developed plan to invade Canada. In 1935, Congress went so far as to approve $57 million to update the plan and fund the construction “of three military airfields disguised as civilian airports on the Canadian border, which would be used to launch preemptive strikes against Canadian air forces and defenses.”

The word “okay” originated in Boston in the 1830s when it was popular to abbreviate phrases using the first letters of each word, such as “KC” for “knuff ced” (enough said) and “OW” for “oll wright” (all right). Only one survived: “OK” for “oll korrect.” (Martin Van Buren used the phrase in his 1840 campaign.)
