The ethical dilemma that has existed for a long time is the "lost and found" one.
Let's hypothetically say that while you are walking down the street you find a hypothetical wallet with some money inside it. What DO you do? Hypothetically return it? Ignore it? Send it back to the owner? because we know there is always and ID with an address inside these things... or Keep it? What could make someone return a lost wallet? The answer, baby's... cute baby's.
Richad Wiseman, a Psychologist in Edinburgh left 240 test wallets "lost" around the street of this city, each with a mailing address so that a good Samaritan would use to return it. The wallets used had space to put a picture in it, and in this they placed "a smiling baby, a cute puppy, a happy family or an elder couple", all in equal amount of the 240 wallets used for the test.
So, what happned?
The wallets with the baby photographs in them had the highest return rate, 88% of them being sent back. Next in lime came the one with the puppy 53%, the family 48% and the elderly couple 28%.
42% of all the wallets were returned. The baby photos "may have added an extra motivation by triggering an evolutionary compasion toward vulnerable infants", said Richard Wiseman.

If pigs cound live underwater...

Wait they do! or there's something like it that lives on or just underneath the bottom of the ocean, on the abyssal plain, between 2,200 and 5,500 meters bellow the sea surface.
It's some kind of slug thing, but pink as a pig. Why? 'cuase God was bored near the end of creation and said "why not".
Who is cute and scary at the same time? You are! The sea pig I mean...
Have a greate day!
ASTEROIDS!! movie???
|
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Universal has picked up the rights to make a movie of the classic Atari video game “Asteroids”. First released as an arcade game back in 1979, Asteroids featured a triangle-shaped space ship that needed to be move around an asteroid field shooting them, hence the name, and when you shot one of these asteroids it would brake into smaller pieces, which you also needed to shoot... and let's not forget the flying enemy space ships...Matthew Lopez will write the script for this adaptation, and will be produced by Lorenzo di Bonaventura, the producer of both Transformers movies, the 2005 adaptation of the Doom game, Constantine, Shooter and the upcoming G.I. Joe : Rise of the Cobra
So, are you just like me at this point, wondering what the hell will the movie be about? I can imagine a combination of Deep Impact, Armageddon and all those movies that include something hitting the Earth. You can't go wrong with a movie like this!! (sarcasm, just in caso you didn't get it)
“As opposed to today’s games, there is no story line or fancy world-building mythology, so the studio would be creating a plot from scratch.” said Universal.
