"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Boffins create zombie dogs

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Wow, that's really cool! So this can then be used on humans in order to put their life on "pause" while the doctors can heal their wounds and what not, and then "resume" them when they are healed, which buys precious time during which the patient could have died.

Not to mention people that have an incurable disease such as Cancer or AIDS. They can be put in that hybernation state till a cure is found, then brought back to life and be cured. Or better, till the secret of eternal life is discovered. Uuuuu, the thought of that is really exciting. Ok, i am getting carried away:p

the worlds already overpopulated.
lets keep more people alive even longer, that'll be great for the world economy.

the truth is, people live too long as it is. but the earth has a way of sorting itself out everytime something like this happens.

Are they sure the dogs weren't just PLAYING dead? Cause my dog does that when I give him a treat or something.

But I guess the scientists already thought about that and have some method of figuring out if the dog is just playing.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

I hope you're kidding.:D In case you aren't, well, those scientists have machines to see the brain activity and heart activity. When your dog plays dead, his heart and brain are still functioning...i hope! In any case, the zombie dogs in the article were declared clinically dead, meaning that they had zero brain and heart activity. DEAD!:up:

True, we don't need overpopulation. Yet, i believe many people are so afraid of dying that they would line up at the lab door if this technology was to be proven efficient on human beings. I am curious as to how that problem could be solved...

It's a little hard to play dead when you blood is pumped out of your body. For the lazy, the blood is pumped out of the dog's body and replaced with a near-freezing saline solution (salt water). This keeps the brain and the rest of the body from being damaged by oxygen deprivation (because they are almost frozen). The dog is now dead. Then, three hours later, they pumped the blood back into the dog, shocked him, and he came back to life. Brain scans indicated that no brain damage occured, and the dogs resumed a normal life.

That's messed up. After my time is done, anyone who brings me back to life better be ready to have their brain eaten...
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

I thought this was pretty interesting

During the procedure blood is replaced with saline solution at a few degrees above zero. The dogs' body temperature drops to only 7C, compared with the usual 37C, inducing a state of hypothermia before death.
Seems kinda messed up, I'm sure animal rights people are going crazy about that.

I thought it was quite interesting how they could apply this technology to military combat field. Just imagine...

soldier: Ah shíte, medic!!! me arm has been blown off again

medic: ffs, here ye go, lay back and drink this ice-cold ocean water...

*medic brings soldier to doctor to sew it back on, 3 hours later*

soldier: aw thanks doc, I don't know what I'd do without ye, since I'm left handed and all...

There is another issue about bringing people back from the dead. What happens if they discover no heaven, no god(s) or no afterlife?

Would it mean the end of religion? Would more people start living for the moment at any cost with no fear of retribution in the afterlife?

I believe that scientists already know what lies beyond the grave, but it's top secret as to avoid mass panic.
