Marty's girlfriend in Back To The Future was played by a different actress--and the reason why is pretty sad.

Marty's girlfriend in Back To The Future was played by a different actress--and the reason why is pretty sad.

As any production, Back To The Future II had to change the actress who played Jennifer due to personal problems.




Claudia Wells played Marty McFly's girlfriend Jennifer Parker in "Back to the Future." Due to her mother falling ill, Wells could not return for the second film and was replaced by Elisabeth Shue in "Back to the Future: Part II."




Due to the change in actresses, the final scene of "Back to the Future," which was used in the beginning of the second film, had to be re-shot with Shue.

Today's Daily Brain Teaser (Jan 14, 2014)

Choose Your Disaster



A group of four prisoners were held captive by the enemy and each prisoner was to be shot each day through the week. As natural disasters were common in this specific part of the world, the group of prisoners decided to make up a plan of distracting the guards. Before each prisoner would be shot, they would shout out a natural disaster, which would cause chaos and distract everyone to give enough time for each prisoner to escape. As three days passed the first three prisoners escaped by shouting out their chosen natural disasters and running away, however the final prisoner shouted out a disaster and was shot dead on the spot.

Stress : Conditions for Calmness

Try to remember some times in the past when you were totally relaxed. Maybe it was a recent vacation or a nice sunny weekend. What do these situations all have in common that might contribute to you being in a calm state? While you may have your own unique requirements, there are four common conditions that most people find contribute to calmness.



Physical Comfort

Pay attention to how your body feels and try to make it as comfortable as possible. Is your clothing comfortable? Is the temperature ok? Is your chair comfortable? Try to make changes to your environment to make yourself as comfortable as possible.



Fresh Air

Getting fresh air is a very important condition for calmness. This is one reason why the mountains or the beach are more relaxing than the city. Try opening a window to get a little fresh air.



Silence

People always try to find a quiet place to relax. As you go through your day, you are bombarded with noises. Traffic, people talking, babies crying, electronic equipment, radios and televisions all contribute to the noise pollution that can cause unnecessary stress. Eliminating noise from your daily life can help make you a calmer person. One way to do this is with noise canceling headphones or earplugs.



Stimulants

Caffeine, nicotine, sugar and other drugs all act as stimulants on the human body. You will never be able to fully relax if you are charged up with sugar and caffeine. Try switching to water, herbal tea or a diet caffeine-free soda.

Memory : Distraction Counting

It is very common to get distracted or for our minds to wander when we are reading. Once we've notice that we've read several sentences without comprehension, we rewind and start reading the passage again. If the material is particularly boring or we are not in the right mood, we can often end up rereading the same sentence over and over without knowing what it says.



This can be fixed by improving your concentration and attention. Try the following exercise. Every time you get distracted while reading, draw an arrow in the margin from where you realized you were daydreaming, to where you started rereading. Before you turn the page, count your arrows and mentally review what you have just read. If you can't remember what you read, start over. You should find that the number of arrows per page decreases as you get better at focusing your attention.

Vocabulary : Word of the Day : Quiescent

qui-es-cent



adj :: Marked by inactivity or rest.



"A bear can hibernate and remain quiescent for weeks at a time."

"Helicopter" and "pterodactyl" have the same Greek root word! Do you know which?

"Helicopter" and "pterodactyl" have the same Greek root word! Do you know which?




Police use helicopters, but the etymology of helicopter has nothing to do with cops, but rather with fliers of the Jurassic period. It’s helico – pter, from the Greek ἕλικος (elikos) ‘spiral’ + πτερόν (pteron) ‘wing.’




The -pter in helicopter is the same as the –pter in pterodactyl. The prehistoric flying reptile is “wing-fingered.” It gets it's name from πτερόν + dactyl, the combining form of δάκτυλος (dactylos) ‘finger.

This man outsourced his entire job to China. I wish I could pull this off.

This man outsourced his entire job to China. I wish I could pull this off.

The truly lazy are often the most creative. Like this developer, who was caught outsourcing his entire job to China so that he could spend his time at work… not working.




The ruse — highlighted in a Verizon case study — was carried out by an employee called “Bob” who worked at an anonymous “critical infrastructure company”. The trick was only spotted when someone noticed suspicious activity on the company’s VPN log.




While Bob apparently received glowing performance reviews, all of his development work was being carried out from China. In fact, he pulled off the same scam across multiple companies concurrently, earning “several hundred thousand dollars a year”.




Further investigation revealed a typical day’s work for Bob included reading Reddit for two hours, shopping on eBay for an hour, browsing Facebook for two hours, and checking LinkedIn for a further two hours.

Al-Qaeda's website was hacked, and what the hackers did was hilarious!

Just imagine the look of surprise on an al Qaeda member's face when they thought they were loading a tutorial on how to "make a bomb in the kitchen of your mom" but actually got a recipe for mojito cupcakes.




Famed British intelligence agency MI6 hacked Inspire, thefirst English-language Jihadist online magazine, early last year but their cheeky content-swapping mission has only just been made public now.




As the story goes, they swapped potentially-destructive bomb-making tutorials with jumbled-up code for the Ellen DeGeneres talk show website, which contained cupcake recipes from Main Street Cupcakes in Hudson, Ohio.




Recipes for delicious-sounding mojito and rocky road cupcakes, which contained the caveat "Warning: Sugar rush ahead!" Better watch out for those dangerous cupcakes!

John Lennon almost got beaten up at the Playboy mansion—wait 'till you hear what he did!

John Lennon was on a drunken bender in the 1970s during a year and a half separation from Yoko Ono. He was in his early 30s and nearly got the shit kicked out of him for particularly bad—and expensive—behavior.




Lennon took a priceless original Matisse painting off the wall at Hugh Hefner’s pad and put out his cigarette on it!




According to a description of Heffner’s house given by a recent interviewer, the nude painting still hangs in the library of the Playboy mansion – with the cigarette burn clearly visible.

Nudists were some of the first volleyball players!

Nudists were some of the first volleyball players!

Volleyball game was in invented in 1895 by William G. Morgan, an instructor at the YMCA in Holyoke, Massachussetts, USA. By the 1920's, nudists were playing it regularly, making them some of the earliest adopters of volleyball.




In some ways, the game was ideal for early naturist clubs. Most clubs were small and a volleyball court doesn't require much space. Yet despite the relatively small court, many people can play at the same time.




The game also allows for differing levels of athleticism which makes it inclusive. The equipment required is very affordable. Finally, since there is no need for a team uniform or protective equipment, volleyball is perfect for people who like to be nude.
