You haven’t eaten for a while and you’re starting to get snappy with everyone. You’re hangry. It’s not just a joke, it’s a real phenomenon. Research has pointed to the idea that being hangry is legit. The lower your blood sugar gets, the less fuel your brain has to function. While you can handle all the critical brain tasks like breathing and seeing, more complex things like turning a bickering argument about the dishes into a constructive conversation aren’t as simple. The result? You deal with the little things more impulsively, which leads to getting angrier easier.

Goosebumps
are meant to ward off predators. Why do we get goosebumps? In this
physiological reaction, small muscles attached to individual body
hairs contract, which leads the hair to stand on end. We inherited
this ability from our ancestors in part as a way for our (then) coat
of body hair to capture air beneath it and in that way retain heat.
But, as George A. Bubenik, a physiologist and professor of zoology at
the University of Guelph in Ontario, Canada, explained to Scientific
American, it also caused our ancestors to appear bigger than they
were, helping to ward off predators when they were frightened or on
the defense. With modern humans having less body hair, goosebumps no
longer cause us to look that much more intimidating.
A NEWS HEADLINE... FROM SOMEWHERE IN THIS WORLD!

CROATIA
In
Croatia, a quick-thinking bank teller ended a robbery by pretending
she didn’t understand the robber. When the crook handed over a note
the clerk kept saying she didn’t understand it until he finally
yelled it so loud that the security guards heard it and stopped him.
WEIRD NEWS: Brought to you by WeirdGiftOfTheDay.com
According
to police, an Oregon carjacker who realized there was a young kid in
the vehicle circled back to scold the mom about her parenting. The
bizarre episode unfolded outside a grocery store in the Portland
suburb of Beaverton Saturday, after the mom left her 4-year-old in a
booster seat inside the running car. According to the Oregonian,
she’d left the car unlocked when she ran in to buy a gallon of milk
and some meat. The thief happened to be walking by, hopped in the
Honda Pilot, and took off. He apparently quickly realized he had
gotten more than he bargained for. He pulled a U-turn in an adjacent
parking lot and drove back to the store. Once there, the bad guy gave
the mom a piece of his mind, said Beaverton police spokesman Officer
Matt Henderson. “He actually lectured the mother for leaving the
child in the car and threatened to call the police on her,”
Henderson said. Cops said the mom grabbed her kid on the thief’s
orders before he again drove off with her car.

OF DUH: Brought

Airport
security caught a traveler attempting to board a plane at
Washington’s National Airport last Friday with a switch-blade
throwing knife. Agents confiscated the “throwing star,” but the
flyer was not cited because the Japanese-style weapon is legal in the
state of Virginia. “The traveler relinquished it to TSA officers at
the checkpoint and went on their way to catch their flight,” TSA
rep Lisa Farbstein said in an email. Farbstein called the throwing
star a “routine prohibited item.” New York Port Authority police
arrested a Florida-bound flyer in October 2019 after LaGuardia
Airport security caught him with a “razor sharp throwing star” in
his carry-on. (https://bit.ly/3oI3Rlx)
