Kids Who Wear Halloween Masks Come Home With More Candy

From an experiment described on NurtureShock:

Trick-or-treating children who came to the door were instructed to help themselves to the candy – but they were only allowed to take one piece.

Many kids took two pieces or more – even handfuls. Beamer’s team noticed a pattern. Kids who wore costumes that didn’t hide their true identity – such as costumes that didn’t use masks or other head covers – tended to take just one piece of candy. Kids whose costumes truly disguised their identity were grabbing extra. The costumes freed the children from the rules that that normal kids have to play by.

So for some kids, the researchers asked the children to tell them their names or addresses. This worked miracles – those kids then only took a single piece.Then, the researchers tried a subtler trick – they placed a large mirror behind the bowl of candy. The kids only took one piece. Even kids wearing full-costumes.It wasn’t until the kids identified themselves or literally saw themselves in the mirror, did they have an awareness that the kid underneath the costume was still the same kid. And the rules applied once more.

A kiss is just a pleasant reminder that two heads are better than one.

This may look like a Victorian music box, but inside this intricately hand-crafted wooden case lives a Hewlett-Packard ZT1000 laptop that runs both Windows XP and Ubuntu Linux. It features an elaborate display of clockworks under glass, engraved brass accents, claw feet, an antiqued copper keyboard and mouse, leather wrist pads, and customized wireless network card. The machine turns on with an antique clock-winding key by way of a custom-built ratcheting switch made from old clock parts. (Source)

Please reblog this to help strike a blow against pediatric cancer. I will post on Sunday exactly how much I’ve raised by doing this!

People make fun of those yahoo answer questions where people ask about flying or magic or time travel but if they really believe that stuff can happen, I’m a little jealous. I miss believing in the possibility of those things. Without the belief life became a little less mysterious, a little sadder, in a way.

There are some that only employ words for the purpose of disguising their thoughts.
