SCOOP OF THE DAY: Brought to you by InsuranceChicken.com
Science tells us there’s a best time of day to nap and any time between 1PM and 2:30PM. Doctors used to think afternoon sleepiness was the result of a big lunch. But they’ve found that in the early afternoon there’s a dip in body temperature, which causes sleepiness.
The founder of the women’s online travel magazine, “A Broad Abroad,” wrote an article advising women who encounter polar bears to take their clothes off because bears are distracted easily and it will allow them to run away.(https://bit.ly/34QTSmO)

People with visible tattoos are more likely to be reckless and impulsive than those without ink. A study by economists (McMaster University) of more than 1,000 people looked at long-term decision making. The study employed a monetary game often used by researchers to assess long-term planning ability. Non-tattooed people made the wiser choices earlier in the game.
Crazy
video captured the moment doctors pulled out a 4-foot-long snake from
a Russian woman’s mouth after the serpent had slithered in while
she slept outside. It was unclear if the snake was alive or how long
it had been inside her before she was rushed to the hospital after
feeling poorly.

A German university is offering scholarships to three people who would have to do…“absolutely nothing.” University of Fine Arts in Hamburg is accepting applications for the “Scholarships for Doing Nothing” until September 15th. “The world we are living in is driven by the belief in success, in growth, in money. This thinking was leading us into the ecological crisis — and social injustice — we are living in. We wanted to turn that upside down — giving a grant not for the ‘best’ and for ‘doing a project,’ but for doing nothing,” Prof. Friedrich von Borries, creator of the scholarship project, told CNN. Applicants of any age and any nationality can apply for the $1,900 stipend. Questions from the application form: What do you want not to do? How long do you want not to do it for? Why is it important not to do this particular thing? Why are you the right person not to do it? (https://bit.ly/32HaTwS)
