God was right-brained, chameleons are the living proof.


Amazing creatures. Not only they are well known for the ability to promptly change their skin color, but they also come with quite the unique feature list:

  • Very long tongue, sometimes as long as their body.
  • No need for glasses to watch 3D movies, their eyes are already stereoscopic.
  • Ability to stay still (freeze) for an extended period of time.
  • Deaf.

One of the mistaken perceptions — chameleons change color only to camouflage. Yes and no! They also change their color to mingle and get laid. Color changing is based on very similar process we see at Home Depot. Yes, they do mix different paints (cells/RGB/PMS) to produce desired color.




Chameleons can be petted. There are places which breed them to be sold.

Toilets — cultural differences.





Toilet customs and facilities vary from country to country. The most advanced and cleanest facilities, can be found in Japan.


The worst can be experienced in India, Africa and other third world countries. World Toilet Organization makes sure that everyone gets decent toilets.




Some differences are noticed in the process of visiting "the facilities".While in some countries, like India, public urinating (as well as baking brownies) is an absolutely normal process, the others,are so embarrassed of their bodily natural processes, so that they even had to come up with devices to mute the sounds.


Most of Arabic countries oppose to using toilet paper. That of course, does not come from the desire to be environmentally friendly. How they do it? They just use their bare hand (always left one).


Lastly, how do space travelers do it without getting splashed in the face with digested waste? Answer →.


P.S sometimes space travelers quarrel about toilet usage.

No down for 12 years.


Most religions require followers suffer through self inflicted hardship in order to achieve spiritual purity.

Food and sex deprivations are among the most widely practiced.

Quite an interesting spiritual purification comes from India.

If you do not smoke, you are missing on life.


Increasing popularity of smoking in the last century, was largely
contributed to massive advertising. All means used to convince Joe Blow that a cigarette was nothing but panacea.

Smokes for men — a symbol of a strong, confident and successful man. Smokes for women — a symbol of an equal, tender and sexy woman.

Of course, those stupid kids needed to be educated on the preferred brands as well. Doctors were the last drop in the bucket...

Is auto industry vital?

Subsidized industries are part of government strategic planning. In case of war, the country — which can feed itself, has its own energy supplies, and is able to produce weaponry has better chances of winning the war. Does auto industry fall under strategic planning as well?

Ford is the oldest automaker in the world. Yet they have been making cars of poor quality for a long time. ( Stock market proof ).
How come they get 1040 bucks?

To top it all, their ads remain to be in the the losing territory when compared to the competition.

Interhistory.

Internet was invented in 1946 by Murray — a science fiction writer. Someone (Mr.X) from the US Defense department, having read this book as a child, became obsessive with ideas described in the book.

The obsession turned into the reality, when Mr. X finally got his hands on taxpayers money.

Years later, Mark and Bill borrowed the idea from the inefficient government agency to turn it into a cash cow.








Finally, a Russian immigrant Sergey, took over. Who is next?

God created humans with a boring design.


Since then, Homo Sapient is trying to improve "user interface".
Japanese invented an eye glue to add European touch.
British, naturally born with European touch, added an artistic one.
Thai ladies think neck design could also be perfected.
