What Americans Do and Don't Know About Religion

LarsaruS says...

So if I correctly interpreted this the less you know about your religion the more fervent your belief is and the more you know about it the less you want to have to do with it. Ignorance gives faith. Who knew...

Paula Deen takes 'ludes and makes food

legacy0100 says...

Sorry I didn't know the term 'ludes' was a popular enough term to be googled. In the original title the word included an apostrophe at front, and I assumed the word was abbreviated.

Oh well, the more you know.

What Falling From Space Looks Like

video of a REAL ghost NOT fake!

IronDwarf says...

The more someone proclaims a video to be 100% REAL, NOT FAKE, the less I am inclined to believe it, no matter the subject. It's like talking to a kid: the more he tries to convince you that he is telling the truth, the more you know he's lying.

Treason! Tea Party Conference Discusses Secession

handmethekeysyou says...

Well I learned that if someone around me asks what the odds of a state seceding are, I am legally required to say, "that's a bad idea." Otherwise it's treason.

Also it turns out that a civil war is declared and fought by discussing withholding taxes.

The Shining - Elevator Blood scene! (26 sec)

rougy says...

^ Gotta respectfully disagree.

This is one of the classics.

The more you know about this film, the more you realize what a total mind-fuck it really is.

And that's what's scary.

left 4 dead 2- Charger sneak attack at the start

>> ^Kevlar:

The "normal" (meaning cheap but not outside game rules) way this is done in Versus mode (at least as far as I do it and normally see it done) is to spawn the Charger on the roof the instant the first survivor runs into the building, thus leaving the 'safe room' which consists of the outside area. If the team is unprepared for such an attack or if one person simply runs ahead (which allows the SI to spawn), you can immediately jump down and charge anyone still standing outside and picking up weapons/kits off the pier and into the ocean. Using a Jockey or a Smoker to hold the person still also helps, or helps to drag them back into position for the death charge. However, I've never seen the death charge occur while the opening intro is still going - that shouldn't technically be possible due to everyone still being in the safe room and thus disallowing the charger spawn.

Thanks for dropping some science.

Kevlar says...

The normal way this "death charge" is accomplished in Versus mode - meaning the cheap, but within-the-rules way I regularly do it - is in the following manner:

1. After the survivors' cutscene has ended, wait for the first survivor to walk from the pier into the building. As soon as one survivor does so, all the survivors have officially left the 'safe room' (in this case, the pier is the safe room) which allows the special infected to spawn (so long as it's out of sight).

2. The instant the first survivor has entered the building, have the charger spawn on the roof. If any straggler lags behind to pick up weapons and health kits on the pier, immediately jump down and charge the survivor straight off the pier and into the ocean. Instant kill. This technique works if the survivor team is uncoordinated, someone is a straggler or one idiot survivor runs off ahead of the others which then allows the special infected team to spawn.

3. If the survivors are well-coordinated and move as a team into the building, have a jockey or smoker spawn on the pier and drag one backwards toward the pier. Let the other infected hold the survivor still and charge right through them both and off the pier. Instant kill.

4. If the survivors are well-coordinated and *prepared* for the death charge, they may send a survivor onto the roof to prevent special infected from spawning there (as specials cannot spawn where a survivor can see them). In that case, spawn whatever you can wherever you can and harass the team until someone can pull a survivor back.

In the meantime, this particular video should not technically be possible since the opening cinematic is still playing, thus proving the survivors are still on the pier and in the 'safe room' (meaning specials should not yet be allowed to spawn). We're seeing either bugs, hax or 'sploits.

Do Ducks Blink?

schmawy says...

Birds and aquatic mammals are capable of unihemispheric slow-wave sleep (USWS), which means they can sleep with one eye open and one hemisphere of the brain awake. USWS helps dozing aquatic mammals such as dolphins keep breathing, presumably by permitting them to surface once in a while. It also lets sleeping birds keep an eye out for predators--literally. This was demonstrated in an experiment reported in Nature earlier this year. Neils C. Rattenborg, a graduate student in the department of life sciences at Indiana State University, lined up four groups of four mallards. (Yes, he got his ducks in a row.) Then he videotaped the birds while they slept. He found that those on the ends of the rows--those more exposed to predators--had two and a half times as much USWS as the birds in the middle of the group. A bird on the end kept its outer eye (the one facing away from the group) open 86 percent of the time, whereas birds in the middle kept it open only 53 percent of the time. Brain-wave tests confirmed that half the brain slept and half was in a "quiet waking state," alert enough for the duck to escape should danger threaten.

Thanks, Cecil!
