I like the slo-mo cat with the orange ball, LOL! Glad to read that article about nuts improving older adults' cognition -- I eat a lot of them. A good roundup of interesting links today, thanks!
The "familiar faces" link sure demonstrates our ability to "see" what isn't really there. It was my favorite, but the "mistakes when hungry" was also a goodie.
These links indicate how you DO get around. :-)
I'm always a sucker for cat memes! And yeah, the Finnish seem soooo unhappy about their healthcare system (eyes roll to the back of my head :).
Great collection of links!
I always appreciate your weekly pile o' links. I come back two or three times until I've waded through most of them. Have even found a couple blogs that I've added to the ones I read.
Hope you have a good week. :)
Where did you get the photo that's posted at the top? I don't know why, it's very compelling to me.
Ami: About the picture, unfortunately I don't remember. I have a habit of saving any picture I see around the net that looks at all interesting, and right now I have 33,994 pictures saved on my computer and another 10,000 or so on flash drives. Unless I thought to add a tag when I saved it, it's hard to remember where any specific picture came from -- and I didn't with that one.
I've never had a cat but they do look cute. They sure know how to find a place to relax. Tarantulas have pet frogs...that's interesting and a bit scary. We all use social media and so many of us post pictures and let others know what we're doing, where we are, where we're going ect. I have no problem believing that the government monitors or looks for what people post.
Ohh Tumblr is not the same without porn. That’s for sure.
That thing in Chernobyl is the stuff of nightmares. Darn!
And that tree is amazing!
XoXo
Thanks for your interest, everyone!
Sixpence: I posted about Tumblrgeddon here and here when the ban was imposed. It's not even limited to porn -- a lot of completely non-pornographic gay-oriented content was flagged and removed, for example.
