A Well-Built Physique Is A Status Symbol
"A well-built physique is a status symbol. It reflects you worked hard for it; no money can buy it. You cannot borrow it, you cannot inherit it, you cannot steal it. You cannot hold onto it without constant work. It shows discipline, it shows self-respect, it shows patience, work ethic, and passion. That is why I do what I do."
– Arnold Schwarzenegger

7 Women Describe What Life Is Like With Big Boobs
1. 34H here (34I in American sizes)
I shot from an A cup to a DD by the time I was twelve, and it just kept going from there. It was certainly jarring, to have men in their thirties and forties give you that kind of attention when you’re still mentally a child. I was given hell from the girls in my year because of my shape as well.

What Were Aztec Sacrifices Ritual Actually Like?
They were religious events first. The Aztecs believed that their gods got their sustenance from human sacrifice; and one of the basic duties of Religion is caring for your gods. The most important of these sacrifices were carried out during the 18 monthly festivals of the Solar Year.
One of these, to give you an example, was the Tlacaxipehualiztli, the Festival of the Flaying of Men, celebrated at spring equinox before the rainy season, one of the most brutal and complex.

Picture of the Day
One of the only two known authentic Jolly Roger pirate flags in the world.
Prior to the advent and popularization of the "Jolly Roger" we know today, western pirates flew a simple black flag, initially devoid of design.
The black flag was part of a flag signal combo, together with a plain red flag. After closing in on a target ship, the black flag would be raised, signaling that "quarter" will be given if the target crew surrendered their cargo/valuables without a fight. Followed by warning shots, if the enemy did not strike their own flag to signal surrender, the red flag (or bloody flag as it is known) was raised, signaling that the target’s cargo/valuables will be taken by force and that "no quarter" will be given if the enemy ship continued to refuse surrender.
The pirate captain Jean Thomas Dulaien would wait for the enemy to fire three or more cannon shots after raising the red flag before giving the order to attack with no quarter given.

12 Green Flags That Your Relationship Has Long-Term Potential
1. You go on a road trip together and still like each other at the end of it. Traveling together in general is a great test of a relationship.
