"TIL: Researchers taught African grey parrots to buy food using tokens. They were then paired up, one parrot given ten tokens and the other none. Without any incentive for sharing, parrots with tokens started to give some to their broke partners so that everyone could eat."

#25 Need some sourcing on this one. What is claims is vodka is Grain Alcohol (everclear). Since the 1890s, standard vodkas have been 40% alcohol by volume (ABV) (80 U.S. proof).[3] The European Union has established a minimum alcohol content of 37.5% for vodka.[4][5] Vodka in the United States must have a minimum alcohol content of 40%.

I'm always amazed by the sheer amount of plastic surgery going on in Asia. They want to erase the signs of their ethnicity which is kind of sad if you think about it.

Lauryn, Hypocrisy has nothing to do with asians getting plastic surgery. Don’t be judgmental. Americans, Canadians , Europeans. People from all over the world have had plastic surgery. It’s not defined to one group of people. Except me.
I can’t afford it , even if I did , I wouldn’t want to be in bed black and blue and in pain. To each their own.

#21, I agree completely. There is a good reason to be able to operate all the critical things in a car without looking at them.
