Monkey Reacts To Being Paid ‘Unfairly’ Science Experiment

Apr 262013

Popular educational and inspirational TED talks recently posted this excerpt from Frans de Waal’s full speech, and now it is trending again.

While discussing moral behavior in animals, Frans and his team conducted an experiment where two monkeys would receive the same payment of a cucumber slice for completing a task.

At first they are both satisfied with their cucumber. But when one of the monkeys is given an ‘expensive’ grape instead, his counterpart is disgusted with his measly cucumber and throws the piece in the face of the experiment technician.

The implications of the experiment are quite obvious.

Childbirth vs Getting Kicked In The Balls

Apr 262013

There’s a long standing myth online that a person can only take 45 DEL units of pain. The claim continues to say that women experience 57 DEL while in child birth, but men can feel over 9,000 DEL when kicked in the balls.

Of course, the fact that DEL doesn’t even exist as a unit of measure didn’t stop this old (or new) wive’s tale from spreading.

But seriously, which is worse, getting kicked in the balls or going through child birth?

To properly evaluate the question, Asap SCIENCE says we must first have a firm understanding of what pain is in the first place.

Daytona 500 Up Close

Apr 252013

The Daytona 500 took place two months ago, but this video from the first lap has only gone viral now, amassing 50,000 hits in one day.

Mr Sock Eye Salmon had a front row spot standing directly in front of the safety gate separating the stadium and the actual race track. From that close, the 200 mph travelling race cars seem to sound and look like space ships.

Viewer Ben Cowman can’t help but be reminded of the South Park episode mocking competitive racing, and says, “LOOK! THEY’RE MAKING ANOTHER LEFT TURN!”
