It's somewhat dated, and a little on the lengthy side, but this video's pretty cool:

I've been to most of these places...and all in one weekend. They look a lot different at night. |

I've owned oscars (fish) and anoles (reptiles) that yawned. It's weird when oscars yawn because you can look right down their throat 
Oh, birds yawn, too. |

I read that article too, but I catch yawns just fine.
Washing the dishes always makes me yawn a lot, for some reason. Maybe it's something in the soap. |

| Back when they used to have Saturday Anime on SciFi, I thought I liked anime because some of them were kind of cool (especially Akira), but then Cartoon Network brought us Toonami and Adult Swim, and I realized that I didn't like anime, I just liked a few Japanese movies that happened to be animated... |

| I'm obsessed with drinking fountains. If I see one, I have to go use it immediately. At home, I don't drink as much water as I used to, but one summer I was pretty dehydrated, so I try to remember to drink more. I think if I had a drinking fountain installed in my home, I'd be set. Bottled water sim... |

| She talked about altering your movements, handwriting, etc. to that of a more confident person, so that you will become one, and stuff like that, all the time. True. I had a telemarketing job for a little while, where you have to speak confidently, and read lies from a script, and listen to hundred... |

| I've always felt that out of any rock star, I could relate to Peter Gabriel the most...I kind of wonder if he doesn't have it or something similar. Early in his career (until the mid 80s), he hid his face with makeup and masks, and played different roles on stage, according to the song. He stopped d... |

| My parents did a surprisingly good job of preventing me from being picky, but there's still a lot of things I won't eat...seafood that isn't fish, anything too mushy (cooked squash, oatmeal, creamed corn, etc.), and I'm not a huge fan of canned vegetables or fruits. I'll usually find something with ... |

| Out of 30 faces, you correctly identified 27. You were familiar with 27 of the people in this test. If we exclude the ones you were unfamiliar with, you got 100% correct. Robert DeNiro almost got me, his mole was hard to see in that pic. What's this about face-blindness and Aspergers? I hadn't hear... |

| I have always tended to eat one item at a time... Yep, I do that too. I've been looking around the board a bit, there's a lot of threads where someone will go "I have this weird habit.", everyone else goes "Me too!", and I'm thinking "Me three."...so at least I'm pretty sure I'm in the right place. |

Thanks, I'll have to check it out next time I'm there. I saw a few books last time I was there (in or near the self help section), but most of them seemed more like biographies. |
