"British actor Stephen Fry attempted suicide in 2012 by swallowing a "huge number of pills" and washing it down with alcohol. The "Gosford Park" star, who suffers from bipolar disorder, reveals he had been working abroad when his producer found him in an "unconscious state" in his hotel room. Opening up about the personal crisis during a recent interview for a London theatre podcast, he said, "I am the victim of my own moods, more than most people are perhaps, in as much as I have a condition which requires me to take medication so that I don't get either too hyper or too depressed to the point of suicide."" - SteVe C from Bookmarklet

"he 55-year-old has previously discussed attempting suicide in 1995, after walking out of the West End play "Cell Mates." He recalled the drama in the BBC documentary "The Secret Life of the Manic Depressive" - SteVe C

Kudos to him for revealing that and his battle with depression. - Kelli H. from Android

Yes. This is called "public health." ;-) - Jessie

Yeah, complex problems usually need to be attacked on multiple fronts. If you have a systemic health issue, whether it be disease, smoking, automobile related fatalities, etc., there are things that need to be done at the macro level and at the individual level if you want to have success. For instance, in the infection example, a country can make sure that there's plenty of supply of... more... - Scoble, Alex Scoble

"John E. Holden, alias Jack, took the Deep Six, Monday, May 27, 2013 at the Willow Valley Retirement Community after a life filled with endless laughter and debauchery. While flying his beloved Corsair as a Marine Fighter Pilot during WWII, he was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for his combat activities, the Air Medal for action in Okinawa in 1945 and the Distinguished Fleeing Cross for avoiding numerous women who were seeking child support under unproven circumstances." - Jessie from Bookmarklet

"The backers of The SCAR Project, which aims to raise public awareness about breast cancer by sharing powerful photos of young women and the scars they have from their mastectomies, say Facebook pulled some of the photos from the project's longtime Facebook page because of concerns about nudity. One of The SCAR Project's supporters filed a petition on Change.org a few weeks ago, asking Facebook to change its policy so that the photos — some very graphic, showing nipples that have been surgically reconstructed — will stop being considered in the same category as pornography." - SteVe C from Bookmarklet

Yeah, except I was the one who really said to do better and not as a joke. - Scoble, Alex Scoble

You're more than a pretty face, do better. (Seriously, I could "do better" all day! But I won't, it's bedtime.) - Zulema ❧ spicy cocoa tart from Android

Not a complaint. Merely an observation. - t-ra: confounded from Android

...over the whole US and he and my mother moved to OH. Part of the agreement for that move was that when dad decided to leave the company they would allow him to be an 'agent' ... something like a franchisee ... in an area where there wasnt a corporate office. When I turned 26 he did just that and moved to Florida (my parents divorced at that time). At 27, after refusing many, many times I moved Florida to run the office for him. In the beginning it was just us and two techs. Most days I was alone in the office b/c dad was out pounding the pavement looking for business. - Shannon - GlassMistress

"Beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, but one lovesick bull moose in Colorado is having a hard time understanding that a bronze moose statue is not the same as the real thing. The young bull has fallen hard for the life-sized moose statue with large antlers in a backyard in Grand Lake, Colo., and he’s attracting people from all over the area to watch him make his moves. “He’s in love with it,” said Frances Transue, 55, who lives about a mile from the moose love scene. “He acts like he wants to mate it. He kisses it, he nuzzles it.”" - SteVe C from Bookmarklet

"If you're going to try and cheat the worker's compensation system, it pays to stay off national television. Former postal worker Cathy Wrench Cashwell's big double-handed spin of "The Price Is Right" big wheel in 2009 was the beginning of her downfall, having claimed she was unable to work due to a 2004 workplace shoulder injury. The game was well and truly up — which is probably why she pleaded guilty in federal court on Monday — when Cashwell was snapped riding a zipline on a cruise and hauling furniture and bags of groceries. Pretty mean feat for someone who claimed she could couldn’t stand, sit, kneel, squat, climb, bend, reach or grasp" - SteVe C from Bookmarklet

"Seven years ago, a pair of Maremma sheepdogs got a new assignment: to keep invasive red foxes away from endangered Little Penguins on Australia’s Middle Island. And it’s working. Photo: Two Maremma sheepdogs have helped keep foxes from endangered penguins on an Australian island. / Middle Island Maremma ProjectSince 2006, the population of the world’s smallest penguin species has skyrocketed from 10 to 200. According to a report by the Nature Glenelg Trust, which monitors the project, no foxes have killed penguins during that time." - SteVe C from Bookmarklet

"Let's be honest for a moment — completely honest: At some point after Google Glass was announced, many of us briefly considered how the futuristic headgear could be used in the bedroom. Well, no need to wonder any longer, because the first Google Glass porn app is now available — and its creators really thought it through." - SteVe C from Bookmarklet

These cows are not some special breed of cow-cum-teddy bear: They've just been all fluffed up thanks to the power of product and blow-dryers. Styling a cow for showtime can take around 2 hours and requires hairspray to keep all that fuzz in place and oil to make their coats shine. Who knew cattle had so much aesthetic potential? - SteVe C from Bookmarklet

excellent dancer, engaged, always on Ellen. Next. - SteVe C

"A simple vinegar test slashed cervical cancer death rates by one-third in a remarkable study of 150,000 women in the slums of India, where the disease is the top cancer killer of women. Doctors reported the results Sunday at a cancer conference in Chicago. Experts called the outcome "amazing" and said the quick, cheap test could save tens of thousands of lives each year in developing countries by spotting early signs of cancer, allowing treatment before it's too late. Pap smears and tests for HPV, a virus that causes most cervical cancers, have slashed cases and deaths in the United States. But poor countries can't afford those screening tools. The study tried a test that costs very little and can be done by local people with just two weeks of training and no fancy lab equipment. They swab the cervix with diluted vinegar, which can make abnormal cells briefly change color. The low-tech visual exam cut the cervical cancer death rate by 31 percent, the study found. It could prevent... more... - Anne Bouey from Bookmarklet
