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.

Ted on Jimmy Kimmel Live

Dec 172012

To promote the release of his new movie Ted on DVD and Blu-ray, Seth MacFarlane made a very special visit to Jimmy Kimmel Live.

In a rare scene, a completely CGI Ted bear came on stage and talked to Jimmy while Seth added the voice from the backroom. The CGI is so good, some viewers assume Ted is simply an extravagant puppet.

Now, the video has over 750,000 views, and is featured on Hypable, VideoSift, and NoTheyDidnt.

The Electoral College Explained Animation

Nov 012012

In less than a week, the next president of the United States of America will be elected. But even though the country goes through the same process every four years, it seems far too many Americans don’t really have a full grasp of how the Electoral Collage works.

The most common misunderstanding voters have is that many believe their vote goes directly into a pile for their candidate.

Instead, your vote goes into a pile for your county to vote for one of the candidates. And then all the counties in your state are tallied to see how your entire state will vote, red or blue.

TED Education explains the entire process in this enlightening educational animation.
