@Him, I would be surprised if that is the cause of your big ears. BTEs have no contact with the tops or edges of the pinna, they just sit behind the ear, so I don't see a mechanism by which that would be posible. Perhaps they are just growing with age.

Matt Daemon?

@Robert Birming, I have and it doesn't work. Either I'm immune to this miraculous cure or it's just a placebo effect.

Considering those are some of the most common dream themes in general, this doesn't surprise me.

Bull. Doesn't work. As others have stated, it's the fumes in your eyes that cause it.

Now why is this so familiar?

This is basically describing individualist cultures to people from collectivist cultures.

I wonder how different animals would be if the Earth's rotation wasn't on a tilt and we didn't have seasons. There would be far less migrating animals that's for sure.

But Pat, Jenny McCarthy says that her indigo child got autism from the mercury in the MMR vaccine (which actually doesn't contain any mercury), which she then cured with her mommy sense, so it must be true!

What about chiropractic can cure any disease by manipulating the spine? Homeopathy can alleviate symptoms using "water memory"? Magnetic bracelets can be used to treat arthritis? Burning candles in your ears can "remove toxins"? I could go on.

lol, this is great!

Congratulations Ryan S on your most condescending post yet! Do you always refer to people who don't agree with you as foolish, mindless couch potatos? You seem to have completely missed the point that the article is satire. Do you always use inappropriate platforms to vent your philosophical whinings?

@Michael Rogers, but they controlled for education and income, the two key indicators of socio-economic status.

Maybe attribution theory plays a role. If a person sees maintaining or losing weight as their responsibility, they may be more likely to do something about it than a person who prays to god to help them to lose weight.

I was going to say it looked like a slightly mishapen chocolate brownie. Delish!

Well Ray, Googling only serves to highlight that the estimates vary wildly, such as in the case of this article that references a study that says that boys text only 30 times a day and girls, 80. I'd also assume any kid (or their parents) with any sense would get a cap plan so they aren't paying so much.
