Staring into someone's eyes for 10 minutes induces an altered state of consciousness

In 2015, a psychologist in Italy figured out how to induce a drug-free altered state of consciousness by asking 20 volunteers to sit and stare into each other’s eyes for 10 minutes straight.

Not only did the deceptively simple task bring on strange ‘out of body’ experiences for the volunteers, it also caused them to see hallucinations of monsters, their relatives, and themselves in their partner’s face.



@marksierra, how short a day did you have in Melbourne??? We had streetlights on and pitchblack night skies well before 5:30pmoh oh

Nothing to see on the land ... apart from the fact that it's a treeless plain:  it is Australia's Nullarbor Plain, after all.

I have just completed this road journey, and would do it again, in a heartbeat!

Stolen from the interwebs, of course.

I really should get out more.  And now that summer approacheth (in my part of the southern hemisphere), I suppose I will.

In the meantime...


I must remember to use this next time someone annoys the proverbial out of me...


Those of you who are placing Christmas lights/decorations in your yards... Can you please avoid anything that has Red or Blue flashing lights together?

Every time I come around the corner, I think it's the police and I have a panic attack.  I have to brake hard, toss my beer, fasten my seat belt, throw my phone on the floor, turn my radio down, all while trying to put my clothes back on. It's just too much drama, even for Christmas.  Thanks for your cooperation & understanding.

(Please keep this up and steal this post like I did...)


Clever.  As well as being earworm material, no doubt.


Strangely disquieting


In January, 1997, I went to a restaurant with friends.  The food was delicious and we all had a fantastic time.

I'm telling you this because we didn't have Facebook then.



This article on lucky outsized Knickers must have fallen under @marksierra’s radar:

I wish Santa would publish his naughty list.


It would be a great way to meet people.


This made me laugh.
