Pay it forward.

So true, especially the last line...

============================

Teacher: Why are you all sleeping? You need to know, if you don’t pay attention in class, you won’t get good grades, if your grades are not good enough you won’t go to university, and if you don’t go to university you can’t…You need to understand these principles of life!!!

I can see your pussy cat.

ROFL!

Someone could take all your old phones and ship them off to China for recycling, or a good artist might come up with a clever re-use like making sheep. These are Jean-Luc Cornec's telephone sheep from the Museum of Telecommunication in Frankfurt. Meet Ptolemy Elrington, artist from United Kingdom and his insanely detailed sculptures made from old hubcaps.

Haha, these ads are great!

Matt! You should join this sculpture contest just for fun!

Cutest Spider
With her big beady eyes and shimmery turquoise fangs, this juvenile jumping spider (Phidippus audax) takes the award for cutest arachnid in our Hall of Fame. Based on the bright yellow pollen dusting her furry coat, it also looks like she may have had a recent run-in with a wildflower.

So take this little test: if you were interested in pursuing a partner for a short-term relationship which would you be most interested in…their face or their body?  And for a long-term relationship, face or body? That is, if you were forced to choose, of course.

Well two PhD students and their advisor, David Buss professor of psychology at the University of Texas at Austin, did force people to make this very choice. They asked 375 college students to pick whether to date someone based on either seeing just their face or their body. 

Nearly all participants chose to see the face. Except for one of the sexes in one situation.

Can you guess which one?
