Banana mask

Better than a banana mask is an exploding banana mask. What a strange young world.

Mystical Indonesian Healer Boy

Summary of events
Mohammad Ponari of East Java village of Balongsari walks around in rain, gets struck by lightning, wakes up with egg-sized stone on head.

Said stone when dipped in water is miraculous. Makes mute boy speaks, sprained-arm-man is okay, and a feverish boy gets better.

A heck lot of people line up to meet this miracle healer. Even some from Malaysia. (Are you one of them? If so, please share your story with us)

After recieving around 1 billion Rupiah (RM310,000) in charity donations, Ponari is himself sick. Village chief beliefs the stone "scolded" Ponari for accepting cash.

Thoughts
These events were belived by many to simply be the result of the 'placebo effect' where the mind is tricked into believing that something is good for you when in reality, it is actually doing nothing.

Personally, if someone close to me is severely sick, I wouldn't mind visiting this kid. Good luck Ponari, get well soon.

Hypnotize yourself

This image seems to demonstrate that it is possible to induce a sense of "a drug high" without the insane addictive properties of the drugs.

It is done by simply playing "white noise" like radio static while having half-ping-pong balls taped to your eyes.

The idea is that when your main senses are numbed, vision and hearing, your mind makes up visions of its own. That guy in the image can apparently see a rainbow, a unicorn and a 19th century male.

The other experiment in the image that I would like to try is that long nose thing. Sit behind a friend, use one hand to rub your own nose while the other hand stretches to rub your friend's nose.

You should be able to percieve your nose as being long. I wonder if it works on other body parts. I wonder if that means I can finally experience how having firm supple boobs dangling down my chest feel like.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Good to know

I like how they show horribly disgusting images to show smokers what they are doing to their body. In fact, no shisha for me any longer. Thank you.

Now the stressful people have to decide whether they'd want to die of lung cancer or with their brains splattered all over the street after jumping to their deaths.
