Scientists discover the secret to getting hot chicks!. In a recent study, scientists have revealed that if you consume alcohol, people of the opposite sex actually appear to be better looking. While this is a well known fact researched for years by men, it is only now that scientists decided to step up and do some real research into this facinating phenomenom.
The scientists believe that this amazing correlation between alcohol and good looks is due to the fact that the stimulation you receive from drinking alcohol affects your nucleus accumbens, the portion of your brain that perceives facial attractiveness. [kuro5hin.org]
A Wired article. There is a blind guy who actually can see through a camera and a brain implant.
Jens turns away, and we clear all objects off the conference table. Dobelle picks up a telephone and puts it down on the far corner. Jens turns back around. The camera is sending data down the pipe and to the implant in his brain at 1 frame per second. So when he first scans the table his head swivels, robotic and turtle-slow. It takes him nearly two minutes to find the phone — but he finds the phone. Then we do it again. Fifteen minutes later, Jens can pick up the receiver in less than 30 seconds. Within a half hour, it takes him less than 10.
