I've obviously been reading New Scientist.

I don't know, I think I'd enjoy a rousing game of Human Pac-Man. A lot more than team building exercises, anyway.
Interesting, but not surprising: Superman is too good a role model. It's things like this that remind me why I love social psychology. Of course it didn't hurt that my social psych teacher would do things like bring in donuts to prove a point. Now, they were Krispy Kreme, which ... well, kinda suck, actually, when you grew up on Tim Hortons' ... but they're better than most American donuts even if they are too sweet. Why can't I find good donuts in this country? I feel like Hawkeye on that episode of M*A*S*H where they ordered ribs. </parenthetical note>
But anyway, social psych, yeah. She was nifty.
The word for today is 'caveat emptor'. Make sure you read all the way to the end.
I thought the shape shifting robot was cool too.
GPS and bluetooth phone bus and train stuff for blindies. Of course it's in Finland ... yeah.

Slice of life:
Tallin: Seaners, it's time to face up to reality. You have a sight problem.
Seaners: *continues bashing around yogurt container with juice lids in it*
Me: Well, that pretty much says it all, doesn't it?

The cats are both on red alert because of the LEAVES that are FALLING FROM THE TREES OMG don't you people realize that leaves are falling?
Poor Silk. About a dozen fell past the window and he just stood there shaking.

I'm not sure if I believe that simplistic write-up on the Superman study. I mean, yeah, comparing yourself to Superman all the time IS going to make you feel pretty useless, but also take into account that people who are liable to be actively interested in studying Superman are also probably somewhat socially-inept geeks, and would much rather be sitting at their computers at home browsing the Internet and wasting time than going out and doing productive helpful things. Like me! ^^

I'd love to read the whole thing. I might try and find it; the result sounds almost kosher to me, but I'm not sure about their reasoning.

Heh.. first time I read that I thought Tallin said "You have a slight problem."

[phinnia.livejournal.com]

He'd probably react in much the same way. :-D

*L* I imagine so.

Krispy Kremes are ONLY supposed to be eaten hot. People who eat them cold are missing the whole point. *G* They're nothing special cold--a little too greasy and stuff, honestly.

...I want to meet your cats.

Human Pac-man would be fun only if they didn't make me do the noises. *Grin*

Hey, if the *LEAVES* can fall, anything can fall. What if a penguin or something went by? I'd be worried as well. Though, not as worried as the penguin. :)
