True or false!
"Over a quarter of single men claim to have had a threesome. "
According to an ABC News survey, 28% of single men say they've had sex in a threesome (twice the rate of American adults in general, among whom 14% make the same claim). Slightly more single men over the age of 30 say they've paid for sex (30%). In the same survey, 57% of respondents say they've had sex outdoors or in a public place. Five percent of male respondents claimed to have had 99 or more sexual partners.

We are all going to die, so dont waste your time!
"Optimists die younger."
Researchers for the Longevity Project, which has been conducted continuously since 1921, started off studying 1,500 children and eventually concluded that the most cheerful kids had shorter lives overall than those who were less cheerful. A likely explanation is that cheerful people are more likely to take potentially life-shortening risks. Howard Friedman, the leader of the study's research teams, explained that whimsical optimism "can lead one to be careless about things that are important to health and long life," especially when compared to the lifelong behaviors of someone more cautious and reserved.

GO see the world!
"People who watch more television are less happy overall."
The 30-year General Social Survey concluded that happier people tend to be socially active, and that unhappier people tend to watch TV (the actual act of watching TV was identified as pleasurable and positive in the short term, but correlated with unhappiness in the long term). The contradiction between the short-term and long-term effects of TV could have to do with the way it influences a person's worldview. Before his death in 2005, communications theorist George Gerbner argued that television gives people a false image of the world -- that its sensationalism makes people unconsciously believe, and therefore act, as though the world is worse than it actually is. He called this "Mean World Syndrome."

HEADS or TAILS?
If you toss a penny 10,000 times, it will not be heads 5,000 times, but more like 4,950. The heads picture weighs more, so it ends up on the bottom.

Having a Bad Job Is Worse than No Job For Mental Health
Given that a paid position gives workers purpose and a structured role, researchers had long thought that having any job would make a person happier than being unemployed. That turns out to be true if you move into a high-quality job — but taking a bad job is detrimental to mental health

To do or not do!!
Having sex can make a woman look younger and more attractive.
Why? The experts agree: When a woman has sex, she produces amounts of the hormone estrogen, which gives a shine to the hair and a smoothness to the skin. Increased blood flow means a flush of the cheek and even a pout of the lips. And because sex also increases the production of collagen, having sex can ward off age spots and sagging. Some even call sex the real fountain of youth.

Stand up straight.
"Posture influences how qualified you consider yourself."
An Ohio State study told respondents that they'd be participating in two studies, one for the arts school and one for the business school. The arts study, they were told, gauged posture's influence on other activities. They were then seated upright, slouching forward or slouching dramatically downward, as they participated in a business study on professional performance. Students sitting up straight were much more confident about their own self-analyses while students in the slumped-over position seemed unconvinced by their own thoughts, and their self-analyses were insincere and doubtful.

Suit up for the weekend...
"Women are attracted to men in red."
In a cross-cultural study, researchers at the University of Rochester and other international universities showed men and women images of a man wearing red, gray, green and blue shirts. The the man in the images was always exactly the same: the color of his shirt was digitally altered. But the study found that - in all the cultures studied (Germany, the U.S., the U.K., and China) - women universally equated red with higher status and attractiveness. Men asked to judge the attractiveness of the pictured man did not discern a difference between the colors.

Play hard!
"Playing hard to get actually does work."
Harvard and UVA researchers found that women who do not know whether a man is interested in them or not become more interested. The researchers showed college-aged women fake Facebook profiles of attractive men who had allegedly viewed the subjects' own Facebook profiles. The subjects were then told that the men had given them high ratings, were told that they'd given average ratings, or were told nothing at all. The women were more interested when they were told nothing at all. "Uncertainty increases thoughts about the uncertain situation," study author Erin Whitchurch explained. People can't help their curiosity, "but rather than recognize it's because of the uncertainty, they assume it is because they must be attracted to the person."

Let´s eat!!
"Men have more direct neurological control over their hunger than women do."
A brain-imaging study conducted at the Brookhaven National Laboratory demonstrated that men are uniquely able to inhibit the brain's response to food when hungry. Subjects in the experiment were alternatively instructed to try to inhibit their response to food, and given no instructions. When presented with their favorite foods, men and women trying to suppress their hunger both claimed to be less hungry, but only men exhibited any actual changes in the regions of the brain activated by hunger and eating.

it´s all in the eyes...
"Jellyfish have many eyes but no brains."
Cubozoa (box jellyfish) are largely known for an extremely venomous and often fatal sting, but equally unusual is the fact that they have true eyes, with a developed structure similar to the eyes of humans (including a cornea, retina and iris). All told, they have three different types of eyes, with 24 eyes in total, but no brain -- merely a nervous system that processes the visual information relayed by the various eyes.
