Asparagus • Smelly Pee & Deadly Berries
The happy spring vegetable which people are crazy about worldwide, has a deep dark secret. Other then just making your urine smell more then usual asparagus berries are responsible for sending bushels of eager new gardeners to the hospital every year.
The berries contain several furostanol and spirostanol glycosides and the seeds contain a bitter substance called spargine. After the intake of larger amounts (more than 5-7) of the ripe berries, people have been diagnosed with vomiting and abdominal pain. People who have eating smaller amounts of the berries, should drink sufficient water or tea. If more than 7 berries have been eaten, start getting concerned. You may want to consider administering charcoal tablets at this point.
• In addition to the berries being poisonous the “leaves” also contain a slight irritant. Some people complain of allergic reactions, inflammation of skin, eyes, allergic rhinitis, and the occasional asthmatic attack.
• The English word “asparagus” derives from classical Latin, but the plant was once known in English as sperage, from the Medieval Latin sparagus. This term itself derives from the Greek aspharagos or asparagos, and the Greek term originates from the Persian asparag, meaning “sprout” or “shoot”.
• In the mid-1990s, tribulus terrestris became known in North America after Eastern European Olympic athletes said that taking tribulus helped their performance. The active compounds are called steroidal saponins. Two types, furostanol glycosides and spirostanol glycosides, the same components found in Asparagus berries!!

Bon Voyage LulzSec
Remember when Sony network went down and 1,000,000 users passwords and credit card numbers were compromised?? Since there was more or less a media blackout on most of it, I’ll bet you didn’t hear much about who did it. LulzSec. They called their hacking spree the 50days of Lulz, they released millions of dollars worth of codes and users personal data for public download and exposing major corporate web-holes via twitter. At one point even taking requests on who to hack next. In addition to Sonwage LulzSec was responsible for the network breeches and shutdowns of: The CIA, The Detroit FBI, PBS, FOX News, AZ DPS, World of WarCraft, Bethesda Game Studios, Pron.com, Citigroup, and who knows what else they aren’t claiming… Ahh LulzSec. Yesterday marks the end of the 50 days of Lulz cruse. After the arrest of 19yo Ryan Cleary, LulzSec announced via their official twitter they are finished. Cleary was arrested in his home Wickford, Essex.

Greetings folks. We're LulzSec, and welcome to Sownage. Enclosed you will find various collections of data stolen from internal Sony networks and websites, all of which we accessed easily and without the need for outside support or money. We recently broke into SonyPictures.com and compromised over 1,000,000 users' personal information, including passwords, email addresses, home addresses, dates of birth, and all Sony opt-in data associated with their accounts. Among other things, we also compromised all admin details of Sony Pictures (including passwords) along with 75,000 "music codes" and 3.5 million "music coupons".
Original LulzSec Razor and Blade from the movie Hackers.

The Daily Show got some Lulz out of this.
Final Statement • “Our planned 50 day cruise has expired, and we must now sail into the distance, leaving behind – we hope – inspiration, fear, denial, happiness, approval, disapproval, mockery, embarrassment, thoughtfulness, jealousy, hate, even love. If anything, we hope we had a microscopic impact on someone, somewhere. Anywhere.”
