POPSTrustworthy vs lustworthy: the psychology of attraction more (at source): But because we are programmed to avoid finding close relatives sexually attractive, this means those we trust are not necessarily the ones we find attractive. Dr DeBruine’s team found that even when looking at members of the opposite sex, subjects found those who looked like them trustworthy — but they did not want to sleep with them. “When the players were judging the faces for physical attractiveness they thought similar faces less attractive,” she said. “So we believe resemblance is trustworthy — but not lustworthy.”

POPSDevoured By Sand "They might yet stand tall, surrounded by the enemy, or might have surrendered already, lying down in defeat, waiting to be buried. Buildings, fences, houses of worship – nothing is sacred when it comes to the power of sand; sweeping across landscapes, slowly devouring everything in its path. Let us ponder what once was, and discover astonishing and surprising treasures. Shipwrecks and fishing boats seem obvious, but planes, trains and automobiles? Or a whole village? See for yourself all that has been unearthed."

POPSPlus ça change...Ripsaw MS1....US Army UGV Application "The more things change, the more things stay the same" ... The intent was to develop a lightweight vehicle capable of crossing trenches just as the heavier, Brit-designed tanks we used did. But we wanted lighter, faster, cheaper. The same holy grail we've been chasing with tanks ever since we slapped painted canvas on a horse. The Skeleton Tank achieved this objective by building the lozenge shape with... pretty much standard plumbing pipe and fittings, and hung an armored box in the middle armed with a machine gun.. All that air was considered a feature, not a bug. Less stuff for the bad guys to hit and cause internal spalling and ricocheting about in the fighting compartment. Of course, it also meant fewer weapons. She was engined with two 50 horse engines giving a breath-taking speed of 5mph. Lookout Indy, here I come!

POPSObama's Comments on Quitting Trinity I'm not sure what to add. It doesn't seem to me that, for Obama's campaign, quitting will make any difference one way or another -- anyone who's likely to base their opinion of Obama on his church has already based their opinion of Obama on his church.

POPSObama Quits His Church That's the entirety of the info right now, but I guess that's all you really need. Seems a little late in the game, but I guess any time is good.

POPSBirth date can affect personality Those born between September and December are more prone to panic attacks while there is growing evidence that schizophrenia is higher among those born in the late winter and early spring. "It is exactly what you would expect if it were temperature related," said Richard Wiseman, a professor of psychology at the University of Hertfordshire, who has examined the link between luck and the season of birth. "Many of the effects reverse in the two hemispheres." Professor John Eagle, a psychiatrist at Aberdeen University who has studied the relationships between season of birth and mental health, added: "The two main culprits are diet and the seasonal fluctuations in nutrition, and the increase in infections during the winter." Astrologers have seized on the findings as evidence that the stars influence personality. But scientists insist there are biological reasons behind the effects.
