Stumbling: Brain Games, Facial Hair, Pool Pregnancy and Pandas

I'm a big fan of StumbleUpon and find all kinds of interesting stuff. These are just some interesting things I came across today that I wanted to share:

I have a confession to make. I'm really a video game geek. So, I was thrilled to come across this article that talks about the possible benefits of video game playing on a person's mental faculties.

"...a four-year study of cognitive decline in the elderly — specifically, whether playing certain video games might help slow the effects of aging. The theory is that the strategy, memory and problem-solving skills necessary for mastering certain games may translate into benefits in the real world, beyond a glowing screen computer screen."
So, think twice about telling your kids or husband to lay off the video games. It might just be staving off the memory loss or forgetfulness that comes with age. At least, that's what I'm going to tell Eric next time I play.



Do you like a man with facial hair? I tend to like them a little scruffy but these guys are ridiculous! Check out the winners of the World Beard and Moustache Championships.



Headline: "Pool Got My Daughter Pregnant" Seriously. This mother is suing a hotel because she says that her 13 year old daughter got pregnant by the pool. Not by a boy in or by the pool...by the pool itself. Read the story.

Stumbling Around...

Found while Stumbling today:

If you're a big movie fan, this is a really fun site to check out. MovieMistakes.com lists movie mistakes. For example:

In Charlie's Angels, when the Angels are fighting the "Creepy Thin Man," right before Drew Barrymore lifts up Lucy Liu to spin her around and kick the thin man, to get Lucy's attention, Drew hollers out "Lucy!" even though Lucy Liu's character's name is "Alex."


I don't know that I would ever use this, but it's nice to know it exists. eCalc offers a free online Scientific Calculator. Just in case you need to do some advanced equations while figuring out this week's grocery deals! :)



How's this for a warning message:
Danger. Do Not Touch. Not only will this kill you, it will hurt the whole time you're dying.
LOL!

I am absolutely addicted to Stumbleupon.com If you don't know what it is, you should definitely check it out. I had a few minutes, so here are a few of the things I stumbled on today:



Check out this site for some really funny signs. Some are a little naughty so be warned. None are explicit, though.



How cute is this!? If you need a dose of super cuteness, check out this site which features pics of unusual animal friends.



How cute is this? This site gives you patterns and instructions on how to create your own little paper creature. There are lots to choose from.


Let's hope we don't have any winter weather like this this year!
