Markiplier's Iron Lung movie might be getting all the attention, but the horror game it's based on is a masterclass in the power of suggestion

Perhaps you recently glanced at the internet and saw the fuss about Iron Lung, the indie horror movie that got off to a rip-roaring start last week, elbowing Melania aside to take the number two spot in the US box office charts, thwarted only by horror movie king Sam Raimi's Send Help.

The Bizarre Enhancement Claims Rocking Ski Jumping

German newspaper Bild reported in January that some ski jumpers have been injecting their penises with hyaluronic acid ahead of the Milan Cortina Winter Olympics -- the theory being that temporarily enlarged genitalia would yield looser-fitting suits when measured by 3D scanners, and those looser suits could act like sails to produce longer jumps. A study published last October in the scientific journal Frontiers found that a 2cm suit change... Read more ›
