Goofy Prank Kids There’s this group of graduate students who are in a psychology club. And they like to do these really interesting public pranks, just to see how the public will react. In one recent stunt, they went to a bowling alley, and they separated into two groups of equal number. […]
Arbitrage Baby Food
Buy Low Sell High I have this weird friend who has always been looking for some kind of angle. He’s very proud to have never needed a regular job. He’s always on the lookout for any kind of arbitrage opportunity, where he can buy something for a cheap price somewhere, and then sell […]
Fibonacci Food Theory
Watch How You Chew Recently some health experts, a few nutritional experts and some psychologists have done some interesting experiments regarding how we eat. It turns out that there are a lot more variables into maintaining a healthy mind and body than most believe. For example, chewing only on one side of your […]
Circular Reasoning
Triangle Man I have this really weird friend who is a professor of Trigonometry. A few years ago he discovered some ancient esoteric teaching that once you tune your mind for something, you’ll see this everywhere. So he purposely started to tune his mind for trigonometry, and he did find it everywhere. […]
Disappearing People

Cereal For Breakfast
Something of Champions I have this weird friend that eats popcorn for breakfast every morning. I wondered why she did this, so finally I asked her, wondering if it might cause unexpected friction. She actually had a very rational, very legitimate answer. Where’d The Sun Go? https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Jun10Loop.mp4 If you study solar eclipses, […]

Food Cult Openings I used to know this guy in my Toastmasters group, a place where you can not only learn public speaking, but meet some pretty fringe type characters. He said he’d joined this kind of food cult, where they had very strict restrictions on what you were allowed to eat. He’d […]
Balloon Animal Disaster
Lost History Humans have been the same, anatomically, physiologically, intellectually and linguistically for about 200,000 years. But we only have written historical records going back about five or six thousand years or so. This means that over 95% of human history is something we know absolutely nothing about. 95% of our ancient […]
