Lucid Dreaming
By lucid dreaming, you can gain complete control over the one place that no one will ever care about: your imagination. Just The Facts Lucid dreaming is a scientifically proven phenomenon. While some get into lucid dreaming in order to treat chronic nightmares, or to experience all facets of the human experience, approximately 99.8% of people use it as a tool for cheap and interactive 3D porn. A lucid dream is a dream in which the dreamer is aware that he or she is dreaming, and he or she can even choose to control and manipulate his or her dream. Dream, dream, dream.

Time passes more slowly for flies, study finds
Flies avoid being swatted in just the same way Keanu Reeves dodges flying bullets in the movie The Matrix – by watching time pass slowly. To the insect, that rolled-up newspaper moving at lightning speed might as well be inching through thick treacle. Like Reeves standing back and side-stepping slo-mo bullets, the fly has ample time to escape. And it is not alone in its ability to perceive time differently from us. Research suggests that across a wide range of species, time perception is directly related to size. Generally the smaller an animal is, and the faster its metabolic rate, the slower time passes.
What are the Great Pyramids really made of?
The Ockham's Razor quip is in desperate need of some more data, because there are some, err, "concrete" reasons why this isn't conventional wisdom. First off, modern proponents of the notion suggest there there are *disparities* between some of the casing stones, which would indicate that 80% of them were quarried and a maximum of 20% were cast. It's pretty easy to visually distinguish between the supposedly cast and supposedly chipped stones. There's not really very many people contending that the overwhelming bulk of the pyramid's mass is rock.

Time perception
Time perception is a field of study within psychology and neuroscience that refers to the subjective experience of time, which is measured by someone's own perception of the duration of the indefinite and continuous unfolding of events. The perceived time interval between two successive events is referred to as perceived duration. Another person's perception of time cannot be directly experienced or understood, but it can be objectively studied and inferred through a number of scientific experiments. Time perception is a construction of the brain that is manipulable and distortable under certain circumstances. These temporal illusions help to expose the underlying neural mechanisms of time perception.
