Want to lose weight? Toss out all your plates and buy smaller ones. Here’s why.

How much choice do we really have when it comes to food and drink?

Deciding how much to eat or drink isn’t always a rational process. How much is enough? Really, just think about Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Doesn’t matter how many plates you eat you’ll still feel hungry while you still see food on the table. There is an experiment that proves it.

There is an experiment in which a participant is invited to eat a bowl of, say, tomato soup. Unbeknownst to the participant, there’s a hidden tube connected to the bottom of the bowl that leads to a pump and vat of soup.

As the person eats and the level of soup slowly falls, additional soup is slowly pumped in so that the level in the bowl never falls below half.

The result? The average person eats 73% more soup than they would have otherwise. The reason is that visual cues trump the feeling in one’s stomach. If the bowl isn’t empty, then you must still be hungry.

At one point, 90% of all LSD in the world was produced by a shockingly low number of people!

At one point, 90% of all LSD in the world was produced by a shockingly low number of people!

William Leonard Pickard is one of two people convicted in the largest lysergic acid diethylamide manufacturing case in history. It is not known where Pickard produced LSD for the very first time.

His first arrest for manufacturing LSD came on December 28, 1998 in Mountain View, California. The laboratory was contained inside a trailer that had been moved into a warehouse.

It contained state-of-the-art equipment. He was producing kilogram quantities of LSD and putting them onto windowpane, microdot, and blotter forms. He spent time in prison for this and became a Buddhist while inside.

From 1991 to 2000, almost all of the world’s LSD was made by him. He was the former deputy director of the L.A. Drug Policy Research Program and a former research director at UC Berkeley.

Pickard viewed acid as a religious sacrament, and offered prayers before cooking up every batch.

Since that cooking process often involved dosing himself with hundreds of hits of high-test LSD, Pickard had a definite interest in ensuring it's quality.

Is the Lion King a rip-off? Read this and decide.

Is the Lion King a rip-off? Read this and decide.

Created in 1960’s, the animated series, Kimba the White Lion, shares many similarities with the beloved American film, The Lion King.

The story lines differ, but Kimba and Simba are both young lion cubs, children of highly respected lions, and their births are celebrated by all species of animals.

They encounter elephant graveyards, hyenas, stampedes, bothersome bird babysitters, and sinister dark maned lions. Their fathers’ die, they separate from the lands they know, mature into adult lions, and run into lady lions that they fall in love with.

A baboon convinces them to return to their pack and they fight to resume their rightful place. They settle down with their lionesses, and the circle of life continues.

Are there only a few stories to tell about lions? Or were the creators at Disney inspired by the adventures of Kimba the White Lion from Japan?

Watch this fan created video of side-by-side scene comparisons and decide for yourself.

If you want to stop an oil tanker, you need to shut off the engines 15 miles before!

If you want to stop an oil tanker, you need to shut off the engines 15 miles before!

An oil tanker, also known as a petroleum tanker, is a merchant ship designed for the bulk transport of oil. Oil tankers are often classified by their size as well as their occupation.

Oil tankers generally have from 8 to 12 tanks. Each tank is split into two or three independent compartments by fore-and-aft bulkheads.

It surely takes a lot of gas to move this bad boys; over 60 % of today’s gas is currently used when it comes to sea/ocean transportation methods.

Trying to make one of these stop surely takes a lot of time; the approximate time taken for a super tanker to stop largely varies depending on the speed it was in.

However, a fully loaded super tanker travelling at normal speed of 29.6 kilometres per hour needs at least 20 minutes to stop.

Captains must know when to start turning off the engines if they want to avoid a catastrophe at shore!

Dumbledore’s name translates into White Bumblebee! In what language?

Dumbledore’s name translates into White Bumblebee! In what language?

Not a lot of Harry Potter fans might know this, but Albus Dumbledore is a name that was carefully planned by J.K Rowling.

Albus means “white” in Latin. J.K. Rowling named him this because of his long white beard. Dumbledore is Old Enlgish for “bumblebee.” J.K. Rowling named him this because she imagined him walking through the halls of Hogwarts humming like a bumblebee.

In all, the name Albus Dumbledore means “white bumblebee.” It doesn’t really fit together, but on their own both names sound great.

J.K Rowling surely knew how to let her imagination flew in order to help her create the marvelous World of Harry Potter.

The Beatles wanted to send their music to space in the Voyager. They were stopped for this stupid reason.

The Beatles wanted to send their music to space in the Voyager. They were stopped for this stupid reason.

The Voyager Golden Records were phonograph records which were placed in the Voyager spacecrafts launched in 1977.

The purpose of the records was to portray the diversity of life and culture on Earth, designated for any intelligent life in the universe who might find them, just imagine it.

The Voyager spacecrafts are still out there today, both with a long journey ahead of them. Given the time it will take for them to be near other stars, some have even suggested that before then we’ll have developed space travel superior in speed to the spacecrafts and that they’ll be obsolete long before reaching anyone.

Carl Sagan was an astronomer working on the project back in the 70’s. He had wanted “Here Comes the Sun” included on the records, and The Beatles favored the idea. Unfortunately, EMI refused to release the rights and so it was not included.

Sadly, aliens won’t be able to listen to one of the most influential and legendary groups that have changed our World in a positive way. Way to go EMI, trying to protect your intergalactic copyright music.

This guy turned himself to the FBI because a virus tricked him into it!

Can you imagine having your own computer making you turn yourself in to the police? This is what happened to Jay Matthew Riley.

The 21-year-old man turned himself in to police and confessed to downloading child porn after he received an FBI warning message telling him he was the subject of an investigation that actually turned out to be a scam.

He explained that a message popped up on his screen while he was watching child porn, ordering him to pay a fine or else he would be the subject of a criminal investigation.

But the message was actually a computer virus which has been infecting computers since early last year that the FBI actually warned about on their website.

Nirvana’s last album was recorded in just 2 weeks!

Nirvana’s last album was recorded in just 2 weeks!

In Utero is the third and final studio album by the American grunge band Nirvana, released on September 13, 1993, on DGC Records.

The members of Nirvana and Albini decided on a self-imposed two-week deadline for recording the album. Wary of interference by DGC, Albini suggested the band members pay for the sessions with their own money, which they agreed to.

All instrumentation was recorded together as a band. Grohl's drumset alone had 30 mics positioned around it!

The album came out awesome; it's one of the most influential albums from the 1990s and it surely shows Nirvana’s musical talent as a band.

Sadly, that album has the very last songs we’ll ever hear from Kurt Cobain. May the legend rest in peace.

Japan was completely isolated from the world for 200 years. What they did to foreigners was appalling.

Japan was completely isolated from the world for 200 years. What they did to foreigners was appalling.

A lot of us are delighted with the Japanese culture and dream about going to Japan someday.

Luckily for us, we are now in the 21st century and we are allowed to go to Japan at any time, contrary to the 17th century when going to Japan was punishable by death!

Sakoku was the foreign relations policy of Japan under which no foreigner could enter nor could any Japanese leave the country on penalty of death.

The policy was enacted by the Tokugawa shogunate under Tokugawa Iemitsu through a number of edicts and policies from 1633–39 and remained in effect until 1853 with the arrival of the Black Ships of Commodore Matthew Perry and the forcible opening of Japan to Western trade.

The policy stated that the only European influence permitted was the Dutch factory at Dejima in Nagasaki. Trade with China was also handled at Nagasaki.

Dead whales in the UK are split between the royal family! There’s actually a good reason for it.

Dead whales in the UK are split between the royal family! There’s actually a good reason for it.

Throughout the years many whales have made it into land off the beach where once they arrive they are most likely to lie down until they die.

Sadly, most people see this as a touristic attraction, and rather than doing something to help the poor whale they end up taking pictures of or with it and some even try to sell them into pieces.

This is why the UK has created several regulations in order to avoid this kind of things happening in any country around the Kingdom.

This is why there has been an agreement when it comes to this type of accidents: If a dead whale is found on a British beach, the head belongs to the king and the tail to the queen.

This way, whales are off-limits from the civilians and they are not allow to do anything to the poor whale.

Fish Eyes Optical Illusion

If you haven’t noticed, I’ve been doing a good bit of funny optical illusion posts on the site lately. I hope you all don’t mind, as I know you all most like brain teasers, but the holidays are quickly approaching and I’m just hoping to put a smile on all of your faces and hopefully you all have a good laugh to make your day a little bit brighter. I promise I’ll get back to doing some more brain teaser optical illusions very soon, but I have another funny optical illusion that I would definitely like to share with all of you today. This is one of those optical illusions that will almost trick you at first, but you’ll quickly realize what’s going on in the picture. I thought it was funny, so I hope you all do, as well. I refer to this one as the “fish eyes optical illusion.”

This optical illusion definitely gets you at first, because you think that it’s just a picture of a woman, but then you realize that she’s holding a couple fish up to her eyes. I know it may be a bit goofy, but I thought it was funny and I really hope you all do, as well. If you liked this optical illusion please feel free to rate it or leave a comment and let me know how you feel about it. I’m just hoping I achieved my goal of making you guys and gals smiles. Also, feel free to share this with your friends, because if it made you laugh, it will probably make your friends laugh, too.
