you don't think a 25 hour working week is an exaggeration?  I have never seen a dutch man work a honest hour in my life!

Such a low average only means than many Dutch don't work because they are too high to find a job.

You should show that video in your class Ianki.

Some science:

Edit: I'm total shit at those tests.  Can't figure out one single change picture.

haha they aren't exactly tests.  They are supposed to take forever.

The best is the "gorilla in our midsts" paper.  same guys who did the change blindness thing with the directions that that video was copying. 

Simons, D. J., & Chabris, C. F. (1999). Gorillas in our midst: Sustained inattentional blindness for dynamic events. Perception, 28, 1059-1074.

Read it, love it.

Respected researchers calling their own work "preposterous."  Yeah, that sounds like quantum mechanics I know and hate.

Damnit, mean to put that in the lulz thread.  Also, what happened to the remove button?

Really, if it's anything like torpedo fuel, I'm not surprised the people who made it forgot how, just so they (personally) wouldn't have to fuck with it again.  There is probably a better way to do it anyways.Â
