POPSOh yeah, and don't trust yourself either! The Chinese philosopher Xun Zi said that human nature is not particularly good, but he went on to argue that doesn't mean that we shouldn't try to make it better. Too many people resign themselves to say "that's just the way things are" because that's easier than challenging their own beliefs. Before we can be an agent for change, our ideas must be relentlessly refined in the furnace of critical introspection. Follow the link to read all these cognitive hazards, and see where you find them in your life!

POPSThe story behind Hitler's moustache The prosaic explanation comes in a new biography of the writer Alexander Moritz Frey, who came to know him when both were lowly privates in a Bavarian infantry division. In a hitherto unpublished essay, Frey, who died in 1957, wrote of his first meeting with Hitler in 1915: "A pale, tall man tumbled down into the cellar after the first shells of the daily evening attacks had begun to fall, fear and rage glowing in his eyes. "At that time he looked tall because he was so thin. A full moustache, which had to be trimmed later because of the new gas masks, covered the ugly slit of his mouth."

POPSUgly? Stupid? A Jerk? Relax, Your Worries Are Over. (con't.) Ugly Offsets: Say, for the sake of argument, that you're a grotesque clod with the sexual appeal of a dump truck's undercarriage. I'm not saying you are, but I'm not saying you're not, either. Sure, you could get a better haircut or undergo painful, unconvincing plastic surgery, but why not just buy ugly offsets? Send us some cash and we'll spend it on beauty college scholarships and research into moisturizing creams -- after taking our cut, of course -- thereby making you, economically speaking, so damn sexy. Just explain to the hotties at the bar that you've completely offset your ugliness and they'll throw you into the sack with such speed and vigor that you won't get your breath back until you've had three orgasms.

POPSHigh school student builds fusion reactor I'm a bit skeptical about this one, although I don't doubt the veracity of the article, there are probably a LOT of details left out. I mean, how can you write a detailed piece about a teenager building a fusions reactor in 3 paragraphs?
