Fact vs. Fiction…what does the mind believe more???

Fan death is a South Korean urban legend (also found in Japan) which states that an electric fan, if left running overnight in a closed room, can cause the death of those inside (by suffocation, poisoning, or hypothermia). Fans manufactured and sold in Korea are equipped with a timer switch that turns them off after a set number of minutes, which users are frequently urged to set when going to sleep with a fan on.

This is so widely believed that the press report it as fact: “The heat wave which has encompassed Korea for about a week, has generated various heat-related accidents and deaths. At least 10 people died from the effects of electric fans which can remove oxygen from the air and lower body temperatures” [Korea Herald, July 28, 1997]

To do or not to do?

Rather in life or business, I find that there are two great offenses…one being to act suddenly without thought and the second is to not act at all…THINK ABOUT IT!!

Is a dream worth $1??

The jackpot drawing for tonight’s Mega Millions multi-state lottery is a whopping $333 million, the second largest prize in North American lottery history. The ticket is $1. Should you buy in?

So tonight, i was riding around chicago with a few friends, and this mega jackpot comes up in one of our conversations. I was trying to explain to one of my friends who was raving about what he would do with 333 million. I was telling him how,with a single ticket, your odds of winning are only about 175 million to 1. THEN if you will taxes will take half of whatever that is. So if you only buy one ticket and you’re the only winner, you’ll get net winnings of about $163 million. You would need to get more than $175 million to justify taking 175-million-to-1 odds. The question remains: is a dream worth a dollar?

The most effective pick up line?

It may be, “I’m taken.” The New Scientist reports today on a Journal of Experimental Social Psychology study finding that single heterosexual women prefer men who are identified as taken by a wide margin over men identified as single. Single men were far less picky in their choices generally, but their preferences were not affected by whether or not a woman was single. Big Think has enlisted several experts to weigh in on the mysteries of relationships.

Elizabeth Gilbert settled down in the wake of her bestseller Eat, Pray, Love. She delivered a memoir about her romance to be released in January, and gave Big Think a preview of the relationship tale.

Last year, Rachel Resnik, author of Love Junkie, a memoir of her lifelong attraction to unsuitable men, told some guys over at Big Think what kind of men attract love addicts like herself. Meanwhile, for the mathematically inclined, Yale economist Barry Nalebuff discussed game theory’s applications to relationships.

Do lost people really walk in circles?

Finally, something from the movies that actually jibes with science: when people are lost and have no landmarks for direction, they walk in circles.

There’s only one sound scientific way to test this hypothesis: handing a bunch of people GPS trackers and dropping them off in the middle of nowhere. So that’s what scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics in Tübingen did—deposited one group of subjects in the Sahara Desert, another in a German forest.

If the sun or the moon was out, no problem; participants could keep to a more or less straight line. But with no heavenly bodies and no other recognizable landmarks to guide them, the study subjects simply wandered around aimlessly without realizing they were doing it.

So why do we do it? Is that we all favor one leg over the other and start veering off in that direction? The researchers thought this might be the case, and beyond the testing in the desert and the forest, they also blindfolded some subjects to see if they could stay straight.

However, rather than favoring only one direction, people would wander one way and then the other, and end up nowhere. The researchers hypothesize that the real cause of walking in circles is simply losing track of “straight ahead” and overcompensating.

So if you’re hiking around in the desert—or planning to appear in a horror movie—please, take a compass. Your senses deceive you.

Marijuana and Sex??

This would make me never want to pick up a blunt..... Could it be? A new study suggests that men who smoke marijuana daily are four times more likely to have trouble reaching orgasm than men who don’t. Smokers experience premature ejaculation at almost three times the rate of non-smokers. The experiment, conducted by scientists at La Trobe University in Melbourne, tested 8,656 Australians

But on the bright sideeven though male smokers appear to have more problems in bed, they don’t have much problem getting to bed. Pot users were twice as likely to have had two or more sex partners in the previous year than non-smoking men. Female performance doesn’t appear to be affected by the drug.

To be fair, the study definitely has its shortcomings— one being that it doesn’t show a clear cause-effect relationship between smoking marijuana and sexual performance. There are many other factors that have to be taken into account, like age and alcohol use. But there’s clearly a correlation. What it is, we’ll have to wait and see.

My Heaven

after my final breath escapes
when my heart beats no longer
once decision is made for my flesh to enter grave
my heaven awaits

i see gold and gold only
different shades and tints of this majestic hue
it is the coat of all translucent souls
Ancestors covered in glow that shines much louder

love, the only word uttered from spirits’ lips
joy, the only thought we share
melodious drum beat accompanies word and thought
adore i do, the sound of paradise, and its echo

perfumed and flowery scents surround me
waves of fresh bouquet travel, even in absence of a medium
aroma of the sweetest of fruits visit often
to feed the appetites of those who reside here

elation through movement, our ritual
feelings of delight and bliss captured in every shift
connected are all souls in this place
i am now spirit and we are one
in my heaven
