My brain is fried, but I still have 2 more finals. I was attempting to study for Cognitive Psychology, but it wasn't working. My mind keeps wandering.

Like one time, I was talking to this kid who I'm pretty sure was really high. He said, "You know, how does that work." When I asked him what he was talking about, he said "Those duck-hunt Nintendo guns. How do they work? I mean, you point them at the TV, but how do they know that's where the gun is pointing. That's pretty high tech."

Now, this kid used to get on my nerves a lot, but he had a point. How do those things work? Well, I have a distraction oriented mind, so I decided to take a break from the psych studying to look it up. Apparently, the gun detects the white light of the duck from the TV screen, and if it is aligned correctly, the game registers a hit. Pretty genius! If you want to read about it, see this link.

PS--Biology "fact" (I've been saying fact; but much of what I've been posting are really theories or trends from data): Many studies on homosexuality have shown that there may be both genetic and environmental factors determining if a person is or is not a homosexual. However, there is another trend apparent: the more older brothers a guy has, the more likely he is to be homosexual. Interesting, huh?
