phinnia passes along the best links sometimes. This one is made of so much win and awesome, there are not even words to describe it.

The Republican debates according to a 9-year-old

I want one for the Democrats, too! This kid's a genius. XD

Also, here's one I found all by myself: Mind reading through simple visual clues. Good tips in general, IMO, as long as you keep the stuff at the bottom in mind, too.

Current Mood: rilly rilly hungry omg my stomach hurts

Great link from

phinnia that I couldn't resist passing along: 10 Brilliant Social Psychology Studies

Complementary palindromes:

DO, O GOD, NO EVIL DEED, LIVE ON, DO GOOD!

LIVE, O DEVIL, REVEL EVER, LIVE, DO EVIL!

Sit with a blank white wall to your right. Have a friend sit facing you. Hold up a hand mirror between you, positioned so that your left eye sees your friend's face and your right eye sees a reflection of the wall. Now sweep your hand in a circular motion across the wall. Your friend's face will disappear except for their eyes and mouth, like the Cheshire Cat in Alice in Wonderland.

This is worth the trouble to try, as the effect is startling. Your friend's disembodied eyes may float before you for five seconds if they don't blink or smile.

Current Mood: intrigued

Two things, both of which bring me great joy:

First, from

ariaminerva: SuDocWho. Srsly.

And second, from

aheartfulofyou's entry about studying for her psych midterm:

... Adams and colleagues (1996) asked two groups of male heterosexuals to watch videotapes that showed heterosexuals, lesbians,and gays engaging in explicit sex acts. One group of men had scored high on a test of homophobia... the other group scored low. While both groups watched the tapes, the researchers recorded changes in penile circumference as an indication of sexual arousal. All the participants became aroused when they saw the heterosexual and lesbian videos, but only the homophobic males were aroused by the homosexual male videos (Kosslyn Psychology in Context).

I've heard this before -- either I've used/read her psych textbook or one that cited the same study -- but seeing it again made my day. lulz, homophobes. And for the fun of it, because while idiocy is sad, it can also be hilarious, here's an old link: Hate mail sent to gay rights activists.

Current Mood: hungry
