Doubt the missus would approve – in fact I can’t imagine many gardens where it would be OK, but how amazing is this garden ornament? Perhaps it could sit atop my grave one day? Via GeekAlerts.

Everyone has heard of Downs Syndrome, and we can recognize anyone with it. There is another syndrome with a similar cause that is less common, and less widely known – I’ve only just heard about it myself:  Williams Syndrome.

It is also known as elfin syndrome, because those with it look like elves, supposedly. From looking in Google Image Search, I think a more modern definition would be to relate them to The Joker from Batman:

What really fascinates me about these people is, according to a scientific article I recently read, on top of having traits like highly verbal and overly sociable, having what has been described as a “cocktail party” type personality and hyperfocus on the eyes of others in social engagements, they tend to trust everyone they meet.

With estimates of 1 in 7,500 to 1 in 20,000 births, there is quite likely a Williams Syndrome person in your town or suburb. You may have even interacted with them, without realising that they have a genetic disorder that explains their different behaviour.

Shocking in that I had no idea they could do this on YouTube, technically speaking. Only works at YouTube, so follow the link:

You need to interact to get the most out of it

I love this optical illusion. Squares A and B are actually the same color! Read more, and see many just as good here.

Just a funny video worth watching:

This story seems to be legit, which means it could be of great interest to those new age experts who are promoting concepts revolving around “energy”.

According to the Daily Mail:

The accounts manager says coins, safety pins, magnets, spanners and even a metal lid from a Vaseline pot can stay on her body for up to 45 minutes without falling off.  When the pulse is at its strongest, she says she can even dance in her living room without them coming off.

For as long as she can remember, she explains, her body has set off car alarms, interrupted the TV signal and blown out light bulbs. Doctors have told Miss Allison that her magnetism may be caused by high stress levels and have urged her to take steps to relax. During strong magnetic periods she has been advised to grip the kitchen taps as they are ‘earthed’.

…It was only earlier this year that Miss Allison discovered that metal objects would stay on her skin when she placed them there. She says her body can emit a negative or positive charge, depending on the time of the month.

This means she will repel some objects and attract others, and vice versa, depending on the charge. She added: ‘Metal objects don’t fly towards me, but when I put them close to my skin I can feel a pull. They tend to stay on for longer if they are near a bone – I don’t know why.’

‘They can stay on me for up to 45 minutes without me touching them. Sometimes I feel like a fridge covered with magnets.’
