Right Brain v Left Brain

THE Right Brain vs Left Brain test ... do you see the dancer turning clockwise or anti-clockwise?

If clockwise, then you use more of the right side of the brain and vice versa.

Most of us would see the dancer turning anti-clockwise though you can try to focus and change the direction; see if you can do it.

Man in Wheelchair Cited for Drunk Driving

Man in wheelchair cited for drunk driving

BRISBANE, Australia (AP) _ A man found asleep in a motorized wheelchair on a highway in northern Australia was charged with drunk driving, police said Monday.
Officers in a patrol car noticed the man slumped in the stationary chair about 10 a.m. Friday on an exit lane near the tourist city of Cairns, regional traffic Inspector Bob Waters said. Cars were swerving to get around him, Waters said.
The officers breath-tested the 64-year-old man, who registered a blood alcohol reading of 0.301 — more than six times the legal driving limit. He was charged with operating a vehicle while drunk and ordered to report to court on July 7, where he faces a stiff fine if convicted.
The man, whose name was not released, told police he was making a nine-mile trip from his home to a friend’s place, Waters said.

Sex Chips Could Make Viagra Obsolete Within A Decade

Sex-Chips Could Make Viagra Obsolete Within A Decade


Oxford researchers are asking, “Why pop a pill when you can flip a chip?” and the answer could mark the end of those disturbing television commercials for male enhancement drugs. Although currently in the early stages of development, scientists are optimistic that a chip inserted to stimulate the brain’s pleasure centers could turn millions of “Not now, honeys” into “Where are the honeys?” Stimulation of the orbitofrontal cortex creates pleasure from both sex and eating, so perhaps the safer and healthier alternative would be creating an orgasm-inducing carrot. Can you pass the salad, baby? Ah, the cafeteria lady never looked so good.

News Breaks On Twitter First

clipped from mashable.com

Should we be surprised that this weekend’s Denver plane crash was first reported on Twitter, from a passenger aboard the plane? Or is the fascinating Twitter stream, from user 2drinksbehind, merely indicative of how our news will break in 2009 and beyond?

It’s safe to predict the latter.

And yet, breaking the news is by no means the only role of news agencies: parsing that raw information, and filtering it, and making sense of it in a broader context, is where news organizations continue to shine.

Are you kidding me that people are actually twittering moments after a plane crash??!!

    Christmas Trees ‘Round the World

    Before the
    ball drops in Times Square, the Big Apple turns on its holiday charm with the
    Christmas tree in Rockefeller Center.

    The Capitol
    Christmas tree in Washington, D.C., is decorated with 3,000 ornaments that are
    the handiwork of U.S. schoolchildren.  Encircling evergreens in the
    'Pathway of Peace' represent the 50 U.S. states.

    The world's
    largest Christmas tree display rises up the slopes of Monte Ingino outside of
    Gubbio, in Italy's Umbria region.  Composed
    of about 500 lights connected by 40,000 feet of wire, the 'tree' is a modern
    marvel for an ancient city

    .
    A Christmas
    tree befitting Tokyo's nighttime neon display is projected onto the exterior of
    the Grand Prince Hotel Akasaka.

    Illuminating
    the Gothic facades of Prague's Old Town Square, and casting its glow over the
    manger display of the famous Christmas market, is a grand tree cut in the Sumava
    mountains in the southern Czech Republic.
