Auto Union's connections to the Nazi party were revealed recently in a historical study commissioned by Audi.
After Daimler, BMW, Porsche and Volkswagen told everyone about their Nazi affiliations, Audi is doing the same thing now with a study conducted by the firm's history department head Martin Kukowski and University of Chemnitz historian Rudolf Boch. The study is about Audi's predecessor company, Auto Union, which was co-founded by Dr. Richard Bruhn who had strong connections to the Nazi leadership.
The study findings revealed Auto Union exploited a minimum of 20,000 slave laborers and is "morally responsible" for the death of approximately 4,500 inmates. Audi expressed "shock" at the research and they now plan to provide compensations for victims who are still alive. In addition, they will update publicity materials concerning Bruhn..

Sasha Shulgin, the man responsible for introducing MDMA to the world, has died at the age of 88. He was said to pass “peacefully, surrounded by friends and family.”
During his lifetime, Shulgin synthesized over 200 mind-altering compounds, testing them all of them on himself, but is best known for rediscovering the compound that would eventually grace the rave and club scene.
Originally discovered by German scientists, the compound methylenedioxy-methylamphetamine, or MDMA, was determined to have no useful effects and was shelved. Shulgin revisited the compound and decided to see if it had any effects if taken orally. He was surprised to find that MDMA elicited a powerful empathetic response.
However, Shulgin intended MDMA to be used for therapeutic purposes and has been known to say that he’s disappointed that the drug left doctor’s offices and turned into a recreational drug.
Check out the documentary below for the whole story on the man who made the drug.
Just a question... Recently my passenger side rear wheel well area/trunk area started having a clunk sound while going over bumps, sort of like the sound as if something was hitting the side of the trunk or the top of the trunk. I've checked my suspension and everything is fine (noi. I'm suspecting it might be my trunk liner so i've ziptied it all tight, but the sound is still there (albeit slightly better). Anyone know what might be the culprit?

This question suits "The Mechanical Advice Thead" perfectly, I encourage you to post it there (excuse the self-promotion).

Zach LaVine's NBA draft stock is soaring right now. After leaving UCLA, where he played limited minutes off the bench and got very little attention, the exceptionally athletic guard is now the No. 18-overall prospect in the loaded 2014 draft, according to the expert consensus. LaVine worked out for the Los Angeles Lakers this afternoon. He showed off his athleticism, jumping a 46-inch vertical leap. Goodness (via @Lakers):Zach LaVine's NBA draft stock is soaring right now.

I remember it like it was yesterday, 25 years ago............ Tiananmen Square Massacre. Rest in Peace to those who stood up for what they believed in. Up against great odds. It was just sad to see it unfold.
Rejoice, happy-go-lucky and environmentally conscious Coca-Cola lovers. Thanks to this new "2nd Lives" kit from the brand, you can now transform your Coke into something even more delightful.
Is that just an empty soda bottle? Nope, it's a squirt gun. Useless piece of trash? Nope, it's a pencil sharpener, or the perfect rattle for your baby. Make your children happy. Give them Coca-Cola, and toys made from Coca-Cola. And if you have two empty Coke bottles, you can even make a dumbbell to burn off some of the calories you gained by guzzling both.
Created with the help of Ogilvy & Mather China, the campaign features a line of 16 innovative caps that can be screwed on to bottles when they're empty, transforming them into useful objects like water guns, whistles, paint brushes, bubble makers and pencil sharpeners. It's all part of a clever effort to encourage consumers in Vietnam to recycle, and a rare success at the sort of alchemy that seeks to reincarnate garbage as advertising (even if such attempts are a cornerstone of the marketing industry). Coke will give away 40,000 of these modified caps, which come in 16 different varieties, to start.
It's not clear if the add-ons themselves are made from recycled material. Even if they are, producing more plastic parts might not be the best way to reduce plastic waste.
But that's beside the point. While the caps might not quite hit the sharing chord as clearly as the it-takes-two-to-open bottles, they're a smart bit of advertising. "What if empty Coke bottles were never thrown away?" the campaign asks. Clearly, it would mean people everywhere could finally live in a utopia where everything was made of Coke products.
