Well, I won’t show everything, here’s some of them:
Body Position Affects Your Memory: Can’t remember your anniversary, hubby? Try getting down on one knee. Memories are highly embodied in our senses. A scent or sound may evoke a distant episode from one’s childhood. (Interesting)
Big Brains Cause Cramped Mouths: Evolution isn’t perfect. If it were, we might have wings instead of wisdom teeth. Sometimes useless features stick around in a species simply because they’re not doing much harm.
The World Laughs with You: Just as watching someone yawn can induce the behavior in yourself, recent evidence suggests that laughter is a social cue for mimicry. Hearing a laugh actually stimulates the brain region associated with facial movements. (I swear this is true!)
When I see someone smile, I feel like smiling too. It’s natural for me. So smile more and soon you would see more of the world smiling back at you.

Is there something Dubai can’t and won’t do? Lots of architectural wonders there are being built or have been built in Dubai. Many of them looked beautiful in pictures, but this, this is a little different - this one moves:
Dubai plans ‘moving’ skyscraper
The Dynamic Tower design is made up of 80 pre-fabricated apartments which will spin independently of one another.
“It’s the first building that rotates, moves, and changes shape,” said architect David Fisher, who is Italian, at a news conference in New York.
“This building never looks the same, not once in a lifetime,” he added.
The 420-metre (1,378-foot) building’s apartments would spin a full 360 degrees, at voice command, around a central column by means of 79 giant power-generating wind turbines located between each floor. (Source: BBC)
Go to BBC’s page for a video too. Probably a waste of money in the sense where we don’t really need a building that moves.
It redefines a ‘living thing’. My primary school taught me that living thing is anything that could move, hahaa…

Names are getting stranger these days. I prefer the traditional names like Tom, Jack, Bob and John. It’s simple.

Amy Winehouse diagnosed with lung disease
Amy Winehouse has been diagnosed as suffering from lung disease emphysema.
Her father, Mitch Winehouse, told the Sunday Mirror that doctors have warned his daughter that if she continues to smoke drugs she will die.
“With smoking the crack cocaine and the cigarettes her lungs are all gunked up,” he continued. “There are nodules around the chest and dark marks. She’s got 70 per cent lung capacity.”
The singer’s father went on to condemn Pete Doherty, who his daughter has recently been hanging out with. “I don’t want her hanging out with her mates like Pete Doherty,” he said. “What hope does she have if people are taking drugs around her?” (Source: NME)
Now she’s diagnosed with lung cancer. Here’s a picture of her before and after:

This is what drugs and smoking can do to you. I can’t help but to feel sad for her. And well, bad company too. Life’s a choice and it’s yours, so choose well.
