No idea why but today I just thought of an experience I had heard of some time ago and that is quite good food for thoughts.
If you take a frog and throw it in a pan filled with boiling water, it'll obviously be hurt and will try to get awayfrom that danger.
Now take a frog and put it in a pan filled with cold water. It will just sit there. Nothing dangerous to flee from. Then raise the temperature very slowly, say 1oC per hour, up to 100oC.
Your frog will end up boiled and it will have done nothing about it. Because the threat built up from seemingly harmless events...
The story said that this is true with frogs bt also with any living creature...
This blog was born from a very simple question: "How much do I want to annoy people by sending emails about general stuff they might not be bothered with?". The answer being "Not much" I thought it would be better to just put all these things “somewhere” and tell people where to look if they want to. So here is “somewhere”: a dump of things I like, things that I find interesting, funny, shocking. Pretty much anything. Comments are welcome, whether in English or en Francais!
Other things of potential interest...
