Climate Change


Lately, the weather has been weird.
People in some part of Japan had unexpectedly strong rain a couple days ago.
In another part, it hailed.
Do you know what's happening?

I found an interesting article on a news paper about climate.
As you know, there is a serious environmental problem called global warming.
It seems we have been reducing the emission of green house effect gas.
However, it's not enough.  That's why these abnormal weather happens.
Actually, the climate change is considered that it would bring other problems.

I think we should know what's happening on the earth and we should try to stop happening these.

This test may find out if you are a psychopath.

All psychopathes don't always behave in a violentway towads other people.
There is also a case that they just suffer from a serious mental illness.

Although this test may be uncertain, it is easy to check and fun.
By the way, I got 11 points.

British Airways tries monitoring how you feel in a plane with the happiness blanket

I found an interesting trial by British Airways.

It tries monitoring how passengers feel in its planes by using special blankets.
When the passengers are relax, the blankets turn to blue.
On the other hand, when the passengers are tense, the blankets turn to red.

I think it is unique and interesting, but some people consider it is intrusive.

How do you think about it?
Check the article which is linked below.

Thirty minutes over Tokyo

Do you know the episode which is named "Thirty minutes over Tokyo?"

It has never been aired in Japan even it describes about Tokyo.
The reason might be some descriptions in the episode are not appropriate to be aired in Japan.
For example, Homer throws a Japanese Emperor. And even its title is a parody of "Thirty seconds over Tokyo" which describes about the Doolittle Raid.

If you are interested in this movie, here is the brief description of it, please check it out.

The Simpsons


Have  you ever thought about the reason why Simpsons have yellow bodies?
I don't know why I came up with this question.  But I think some of you felt something weird when we watched some episodes of it.

Actually, there is a certain reason.
When Matt Groening, the creator of the Simposons, colored the charactors in yellow, he thought that it would be great.  When peopel change the channels, they can realize the Simpsons are on TV because of the yellow bodies.

Talking of their hands, they have only four fingers on a hand.
It seems that the only character having five fingers on a hand was God.

Ain's these interesting?
