CAMBRIDGE (CAP) - Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have discovered a brain disorder that causes drivers to forget the most basic rules of driving the minute snow starts to fall. Dubbed Seasonal Driving Disorder (SDD), researcher Roderick Crawford describes it as a neurological syndrome in which the presence of snow literally causes synapses in the brain to cease firing. In turn, people suffering from the disorder lose the ability to recall even the simplest driving procedures, such as how to maintain a consistent speed, or what the brakes do...

A horse and a chicken were playing in a meadow. Suddenly, the horse fell into a mude hole, and started sinking. He called to the chicken for help. The chicken knew it wasn't strong enough to pull out the horse by herself, so the chicken runs to the farm to get the farmer. But the farmer was nowhere to be found. So the chicken drove the farmer's BMW back to the mud hole, tied some rope around the bumper, and threw it to the horse. The chicken drove the car forward and saved the horse from sinking...

Great stone structures and megaliths around the world stand as mysteries to how they were constructed. Is it possible their builders possessed the powers of defying gravity? Did ancient civilizations possess knowledge that has since been lost to science? Were amazing technologies available to the ancient Egyptians that enabled them to construct the pyramids - technologies that have somehow been forgotten?..

Haven't you always been fascinated by time travel?  You've probably wished you could go back in time and save that relationship that went wrong, or ace that test which could have led your career in another direction or perhaps travel to the future, to see if there really are those flying cars and super-advanced technology in people's homes...

Here are some cool and really useful things you could do when you are bored...

Ли Вонг Ян (李忘咽, Ли, Забывший Глотнуть) — легендарный вьетнамский расовый студент, обучавшийся (так гласит легенда) в середине восьмидесятых в МГИМО, как вариант — в Университете дружбы народов им. Патриса Лумумбы. Больше о нем ничего не известно, кроме ушедших в фидо, а потом и в интернеты перепечаток его сочинений (несколько глав также были напечатаны в детском журнале «Трамвай», а некоторые из опусов в начале 90-х в одном из номеров журнала «Санкт-Петербургский университет»). Основной особенностью их было то, что Ли Вонг Яну понравилось писать по-русски гораздо раньше, чем он научился это делать. Оригинальные словосочетания и попытки писать по-русски с азиатским менталитетом приводят читателя в неадекватное состояние...

Hypnosis has become a most popular tool in the field of abduction research. The understanding of its intents and abilities by the general public though are still widely relegated to the earliest erroneous notions of its being a trancelike state with suggestibility and retrieval of repressed memories being the most notable of these traits. Research into the validity of hypnosis and its traits has been done for 200 years yet the only truly revealing research has taken place in the last 30 or so odd years. Research which has shown a much different facet of its nature...
