Ever think about dying? If you answered "no" to that question, then you're not like most folks, for whom thoughts of death and dying are "very common and very natural," according to Pelin Kesebir, an assistant scientist and psychologist at the Center for Healthy Minds at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. We're trying not so much to impress other people but to maintain a view of ourselves that is consistent with the way they would like us to be," Feldman told Live Sciencein 2006. In other words, people often lie to make social situations easier. This might mean telling a lie to avoid hurting someone else's feelings or to avoid a disagreement. The truth is that scientists aren't sure why humans tell lies, but they do know that lying is common and that it is likely linked to several psychological factors. Foremost among these factors is self-esteem, according to Robert Feldman, a psychologist at the University of Massachusetts. Feldman, who studies the underlying causes of human deceit, has found that when a person's self-esteem is threatened, he or she will "immediately begin to lie at higher levels." I would say buy this game for the box alone never mind the contents. The cow print is very tactile, you find yourself wanting to stroke the box! Plus, Big Potato Games have developed a game which is very entertaining. It is aimed for children 10+ and quite simple to get the hang of. I really liked the game pieces. Especially the soft squidgy pink cow playing piece and artwork on the point tokens.

You get the start of a question and then provide two answers (a main one and a bonus one). If you get the top one right with your main answer you get awarded four points. If its an answer somewhere else in the list, you get two points. Your bonus answer only gets one point regardless of where it is in the list. Here is an example of the questions: “should I let my husband…” (watch game of thrones!) or “can you get a tan from…” (a hair dryer!).I never do particularly well at this game. However, I still find it quite interesting to play. It surprises me what bizarre things people have searched for. My search history would look rather tame in comparison. So, if you want a game that enlightens this is it! Here's a lesson you've probably learned on plenty of occasions: People lie. We do it for many reasons (some malicious and others completely benign), but everybody lies sometimes. And we'd be lying if we said we knew why.

Other researchers, such as Jennifer Bosson, a professor of psychology at the University of South Florida, agree that sharing our dislikes of others helps develop a bond between the gossiper and the listener. If you're like most humans, then you've probably been on at least one end of the grapevine a few times. Like it or not, gossip is a part of everyday life. In fact, scientists speculate that gossip may actually bring us humans closer together. Whether you're a leftie or a righty, the fact that you have a dominant hand at all is a bit weird, according to scientists. After all, having two hands with excellent motor skills would be a real boon for humans. Lots of things can cause your memory to lag, according to researchers. Some of the most common culprits are stress and sleep deprivation. But you don't have to be going through a rough patch to forget important stuff; something as simple as opening a door can trigger a brain fart, according to a study published in the Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology in 2011.How odd that sadness causes water to spill from our eyes! Among all animals, we alone cry tears of emotion. Aside from a genetic predisposition for certain addictive habits, some people might engage in risky behavior, like using drugs or alcohol, because they're not really thinking through the consequences of these actions, according to Cindy Jardine, a professor in the School of Public Health at the University of Alberta, in Canada.
