10 Hours of Walking in NYC

A couple of months ago, this video was uploaded on Youtube showing a woman being harassed (or "harassed" depending on your view) while walking for 10 hours in the streets of New York.





Although it did manage to convey its message (whether you agree with it or not), the video also spawned a variety of parodies and copycats.


Here are perhaps the best:

3 Hours of Walking in NYC as a (Model) Man





10 Hours of Walking in NYC as a(n) (Average) Man





10 Hours of Princess Leia Walking in NYC




A lot more can be found with a quick search on Youtube,
such as 10 Hours of Walking:

in NYC as a Jew,
in NYC as a Lamborghini,
in Los Angeles as a Mime (wat?),
in Skyrim as a Woman in Skimpy Armor,
etc.

When Monkeys Are Paid Unequally...

This is an excerpt from a TED talk by Frans de Waal, a Dutch primatologist and ethologist working mostly in the United States. The subject of the talk was "Moral Behavior in Animals".

Two capuchin monkeys were paid unequally for doing the exact same job.
Watch what happens when the lower paid one realizes the injustice.

Cats and Dogs #2

Because... you know... the internet loves its cats and dogs.


Scottie pinwheel





Not too sharp but adorable nonetheless





Corgi enjoys the carousel





Dog is super happy to be saved after falling in what looks like a sewage canal




Cat vs DVD drive





For last, I've left an experiment that was done to compare cat vs dog attachment to their owners.



Cat owners explain this as cats being more independent than dogs.
I just see cats that view their owners as food dispensers.

The Effects of Drugs on Spiders

They tested caffeine, LSD and crack cocaine on spiders. 
The results of the experiment were surprising.
