When my friends and I go on a road trip, I bring chips, water, and just enough cash for the toll gates and gas. Celebrities usually bring their maids, butlers, bodyguards, publicists, driver, champagne, caviar and the latest gadgets and gizmos. Brad and Angelina actually need two planes when they go on vacations – one [...]
A pink Aura color is a delightful thing to possess. People love the color pink – it is feminine, tender, gentle, pleasing to the eyes, and has the tendency to represent a mix of naughtiness and innocence that lurks within. Blushing is rosy pink; baby girls are powder pink; lovely and graceful grandmothers are salmon [...]
If the Aura color of a person is red, it’s not something he or she should be happy about. A red Aura color means that someone is highly dependent on material objects in their quest for finding happiness. He or she makes decisions based on the shallow details such as wealth or money, using neither [...]
Just like zodiac signs that give us our daily dose of luck in money and love, everyone is also believed to have a “Ruling Planet” that determines one’s general attitude or personality. This can be determined by pinpointing the planet in a person’s birth chart which is most strongly aligned on the date and time [...]
My Very Eager Mother Just Served Us Nachos. This was the code I used back in middle school so that I could remember the planets – well, it used to be “My Very Eager Mother Just Served Us Nine Pizzas”, but Pluto apparently lost its title so we got nachos instead. This code stood for [...]
Leonardo DiCaprio is undoubtedly one of the hottest and most talented Hollywood actors of our time. Growing up in Echo Park, a particularly seedy and drug-dominated area of Los Angeles back then, young Leo knew he wanted to be an actor. However, when he appeared on his favorite TV show “Romper Room” at the tender [...]
John Christopher Depp, better known as Johnny Depp or Captain Jack Sparrow to his adoring fans and the general public, is perhaps one of the most versatile actors in the industry today. From a crazy pirate to a colorful candyman with perfect teeth, to a schizophrenic writer, to a murderous barber who suddenly breaks into [...]
From the age of five, Jessica Alba was in love with the idea of becoming an actress. She took her first acting classes at the age of 12, and signed by an agent after 9 months. She made her film debut in 1993 in a comedy called Camp Nowhere. She was supposed to be an [...]
When the sun sets and the sky loses its brightness, the moon and several tiny twinkling dots of light take charge. These tiny stars sprinkled across the night sky fascinate us with how brightly they sparkle each night, but just as fascinating is the story of how they are made and what they really are. [...]
The elements that make up the moon is quite a bit of a mystery. It is definitely not made of cheese, but what is it that lights up our night sky? Determining the composition of the moon’s surface was made easier when the first pair of human feet landed there, but scientists can only guess [...]
The sun is like a tiny fireball in the sky the lights up the whole wide world- and the other worlds that surround it. Okay, so it’s not really tiny…it just looks tiny because it’s so far away. But have you ever wondered what the sun is made of? If the sun were as small [...]
You’ve probably made the blooper of wearing too much white and ending up looking luminescent in parties. You can blame black lights for this faux pas. Black lights look like normal fluorescent lamps or light bulbs, but they are completely different in nature. White clothes, teeth and lots of other things “glow” in the dark [...]
People spend a considerable amount of time in their lives staring blankly into space. Most of this wasted time is actually planned – couples organize expensive beach trips and people hike up long winding paths up to the mountains just to look at the setting sun. So what causes the sunset to look so fascinatingly [...]
There are people who look amazing in person, but they look about as good as my dad’s foot in pictures. I’ve taken great pics, decent pics and pics that were absolutely horrible I wanted to run to the nearest plastic surgeon after hitting the “review” button. What I noticed though, is that I looked absolutely [...]
There is a scary psych experiment that happened (quite recently, like during the 70′s or 80′s) in a South African army that centered on the lesbian and gay soldiers – they were forced to undergo sex change operations. Prior to that, they were tortured with electric shocks, castration, and other cruel means to get them [...]
I was cleaning up some stuff from my old house the other day when I stumbled upon this box that contained all of my notebooks way back from 10th grade. I laughed out loud as I flipped through the pages and saw that there was more writing from the back of the notebooks than from [...]
In 1924, Carney Landis, a psychology graduate at the University of Minnesota developed an experiment to determine whether different emotions create facial expressions specific to that emotion. The aim of this experiment was to see if all people have a common expression when feeling disgust, shock, joy, and so on. Most of the participants in [...]
Ivan Pavlov is the father of conditioning, but John Watson is a close cousin of this field and became known as father of behaviorism. Ironic how he is known as the “father” of something when his infamy as a psychologist who experimented on orphans precedes his name up to this day. In one experiment, Watson [...]
Using animals in experiments is very helpful in the world of science. It plays a vital role in aiding pharmaceutical companies manufacture drugs that can save lives. However, a handful of scientists take the experiments so far that people can hardly see the relevance for such cruel animal abuse. An experiment infamously known as the [...]
A famous psychologist named Philip Zimbardo led an experiment in Stanford University to examine that behaviour of individuals when they were tasked with paying the role of either a prisoner or a guard. The main goal of the experiment was to pinpoint the attitude change in each individual, and to observe the norms that they [...]
