#1. The Milgram Experiment (1961)

And people wonder how we could have prisoner abuse.

My fave is last.fm

Lots of awesome features...

Milgram got in a bit of trouble for that experiment because:

a) he proved something people that didn't want to think about

b) some of his subjects were very disturbed by what they did in his experiment.

When I was in college I watched a video of another Milgram experiment, where he set out to explain the Kitty Genovese incident, in which a woman was stabbed and noone helped. Milgram and others theorized that in larger groups, many people find it hard to initiate any action, figuring that 'someone else' will do it.

Of all the things on the internet...

Hahaha...apparently turban ratings only range from OK to Super. I had no option to pick "well that just looks stupid."

Get book recommendations at www.bookseer.com. Put in a book you liked and it will recommend others.

I have known about all these experiments before from reliable sources. But once we know what our natural reactions are we can use our high brain to do something about it.

wait what? We were supposed to be high?

Apparently, Facebook is being a little bitch and trying not to catch the evil eye from Iran's government by attempting to squash the account of a vocal protester within the country: http://coedmagazine.com/2009/06/23/i...en-revolution/

Can't wait to play with this more! Hmmm... it doesn't seem to know The Glass Bead Game by Herman Hesse. Not as "Magister Ludi" either.

I put in Jane Eyre, since it wasn't recognizing Updike or a few others I was thinking of, and got nuttin'!

Washington Natural Plant SocietyI love the galleries.

It might not hurt, but I was more referring to our conciseness.

www.bookarmy.com is another site that serves the same purpose. you make a proflie, kind of like last.fm actually, and then rate books you're read and it gives you recommendations.

thanks a lot, the last thing I need is more books on my shelf!! :)

I enjoy photos. They might not be that exciting to some.

Pop culture translator. Kind of funny. Clod, did you do these voiceovers? :)

I have been really enjoying this and sad I missed the launch. Slightly more reliable audio (WMP only) here.

Absolutely incredible, what they accomplished.

No way. The Dialectizer.

Use the cellar url, so far I've picked redneck and elmer fudd. :D

I am overcome with snorting laughter at Upside Down Dogs.

Just had touchdown on the moon.

I managed to catch this while at work, today. Really cool to hear it in full. Now waiting for the hatch to open and the ladder descent.

This makes me wish that full TV newscast coverage from this night 40 years was available today.

I was glued to the TV that day. Pissed me off that I had to drive my wife to a baby shower and pick her up later. ;)

Wow. A friend of mine who works in customs bureacracy got sent this link from a work contact...

The original customs declaration from the Apollo 11 flight. Because they were leaving and re-entering the country, and procedure has to be followed! (It's a very hi-res PDF, so it may take a moment to load.)

That's too cool. :thumb:

Coincidence!

Their current first image is body art by Emma Hack.

She is an Adelaide girl.
I used to work at a pizza shop with her.
I even let her practice on me when she was doing a make-up course. She made a plaster cast of my face and made some face-masks with it - one zombie one, one all covered with cornflakes.
Now she does awesome body art.
I liked to think that I helped, just a tiny bit, in developing her talent. Having no noteworthy artistic talent myself, I have to count whatever I can. :p

Bad internet ads.

The Dog Food Project

Haven't you wondered why dog food is so filled with products these days and notice your dogs itching, biting, hair falling out?

I found a great site about dog food and health.

What are these rooms for? Could wound up people sit through them?

After watching these do down people then become comatose?

I think these are for middle of the road days when you just want to see some pretty pictures. How could a person appreciate it at either of those other extremes. That's what I am think'n anyway.

How to Cook a Wolf. (my apologies, wolf)

Beautiful place. The food reminds me a little of Hash-House-A-Go-Go in Las Vegas.

BTW, I signed up for their mailing list when we visited recently, and I've been getting all of these great special offers by e-mail. Which is very frustrating considering the closest location is 2000+ miles away.

I might actually be able to use this at work, a little something to keep me from choking people.
