I was getting tired waiting for gocomics to open up the Thursday page, and started looking for jokes about many of us. Topic? Age.
The psychologist said that children at a certain mental age believe that everybody knows what they’re thinking. He used a doll to prove his point.
He placed a crayon box filled with candles on the table in front of the child. He then asked the child what was in the box. Of course the child answered crayons.
Then the psychologist opened the box to show the child that the box contained not crayons but candles, making the child very surprised.
Then he closed the box and brought a doll up from under the table. He would ask the child what the doll thought was in the box and the child would say candles. That was supposed to prove that children at that maturity level don’t feel independent and think that whatever they know and whatever they think is known by everybody.
I thought that my son was pretty mature at 2 or 3, I don’t remember his exact age now. I know he was of the age that the psychologist said children hadn’t matured enough to feel independent; they thought their thoughts were the thoughts of everyone.
I proceeded with the same experiment. When I brought the doll up from under the table and asked my son what he thought the doll thought was in the box he said candles, just like the other child. I was surprised, but I did one thing the psychologist didn’t. I asked my son why he thought the doll would think there were candles in the crayon box.
He said, “Because the doll was under the table and could hear everything we said.”
Leading me to conclude that researchers often stop at answers they want or don’t ask enough questions.
Woah, didn’t know that fact about chocolate. Apparently there’s an antiviral compound in it (and red wine) called resveratrol, but you need a whole lot of it to help. I kinda wish Castano drew a cartoon chocolate bar instead, but no one ever said that smallpox was nice to look at.
Reading RBION today, I am reminded of Silver’s recent comment wondering if there were lice that peed out of both ends. A change today from the usual RBION gaseous factoids.
In STEAMBOAT BILL,there’s a famous scene where a wall falls on Buster Keaton but he’s unharmed becausethe only open window in the wall passes over him.
That was an actual 2-ton wall and Keaton would have been killed if he’d moved a half-inch off his “mark”. Keaton was a “bug” on doing his own stunts—he began as a vaudeville acrobat

Too bad chocolate can’t be used to help diabetes.
So fishermen can see through that fish.
May the Lord be with you as He is with me.

Apparently chocolate was also once used to treat cholera, tuberculosis, asthma and yellow fever.
Here is a link if anyone cares to look at it:

So chocolate is good for both smallpox and attacks from Dementors. Nice.

A Canadian visits America and gets held at gunpoint by a stranger.
The stranger says, “Give me all your money and I’ll let you live!”
The Canadian replies gleefully, “Oh! You must be what they call a doctor!”

I guess the chocolate allowed the patient to die a little happier. Chocolate is my best treat.
