Doggy Experiments

In my blog, "Man's Best Friend" I told you about dog's history and some of it's behavior. And here I will tell you it's participation to us, by our movements.

A dog and a monkey was tested, on who is more cooperative. The test had three materials. Two upside down cups and a piece of treat, under one of the bottom up cups.

It was shown to a monkey, (they say, the close to our kind) but before that, the experiment was shielded, so the monkey can't see where the treat was placed. The scientist pointed the the cup with the treat, but the monkey did not cooperate and pointed the opposite cup. So no treat.

It was the dog's turn, the experiment was repeated, and the dog listened, based on the pointing of the scientist, it had a treat. The scientist also pointed the the cup with the treat with it's eye movement. The dog listened and again got a treat!

So, what is the explanation in this situation. The reason why the monkey didn't participate, is because it is not interested in our environment, and has it's own environment, like it's self-reliant. While the dog, also has it's environment. And it is us. They rely their lives on us. We have their food and shelter. They are a part of us, and our behavior can also affect theirs.

 

Man's Best Friend

Dogs are known as "man's best friend." they are now a part of our human lives. But where did dogs really come from? What happened to them? Behold, the wolves, The mother of all dog's. Back in the 1800's. A facility was made for raising nothing but, Wolves.

The cubs were studied, and experimented, and they tried to tame it. Generations passed, they came out with a very stunning conclusion, their experiment worked! and the wolves started to change color and started to have different breeds, close to what we have these days. some became longer, some had shorter snouts and some had shorter legs. 

In our time, we are still studying the behavior of our pet/companion.  I'll give you a trivia. When a dog wagged it's tail rapidly to the right, it is very happy or pleased. But if it wagged it's tail to the left, it is alerted, angry or saw someone or something unfamiliar. When down. It is scared. 

But, did you know that dogs are also studying us, our movements, our sounds, but most of all our eyes, which is rare behavior you will see in animals. Find it all out on, "Doggy Experiments."

Misdirection

Misdirection; "the closer you look, the less you will see."-Daniel Atlas (Watch "Now You See Me"). Misdirection or Magic is usually used in entertainment and fooling people around you. Here in what you will read, you will know the three rules of magic. But before that, Jews used slight of hand to steal food from the Egyptians.

 

Rule 1: As I said before " the closer you look the less you will see".

Rule 2: Be the smartest person in the room.

Rule 3: If you think you're one step ahead, you're always 2.3.7 back.

So never be fooled!!

The Pentatonix Royals

This cool video of Pentatonix stunned me it really came from their mouths. The coordination of the sounds  from their mouths made the song more beautiful than the original. Hope you will notice it.

The Long History of Lego

Lego, the well-known toy that is played by a child and a childish person. But here, you will know the history of the toy you usually play with.

In The Beginning

The Lego began in the carpentry workshop of Ole Kirk Christiansen, in Billund, Denmark. In 1916. But before that, Christainsen had a woodworking shop where he made furnitures that started in business in 1895. Which was all burned. in 1924,  when the fire ignited on some of his woodwork.

And by that time, he decided to make a larger company, but it did not flourish when the Great Depression started. Then it was the time when he was inspired to make toys. Then in mid-1930's the yo-yo toy which he made became popular but soon it became out of style. But, good thing his son, Godtfred, helped him and played an important role in the company.

In 1932, Ole Kirk decided to make a name for the company. And soon came out in LEGO that means, a legion of toys, " I put together" in Latin, And leg godt means "play well" in Danish.

In World War II, plastic became possible and the company bought a molding machine and the standard toy he made was a LEGO truck but it was easily teared apart so his son tried to make a more usable design and ended up in the LEGO we are playing today.
