What could, the performing of actions (mostly by illiterate persons) out of copying or simply because others do it, (like f.e. i've seen totally illiterate young mothers apply talcum powder after changing a baby's diaper, without having the slightest clue or knowledge -or any curiosity for that matter-,why they do it), be called?

Count every " F" in the following text:

FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE
SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTI
FIC STUDY COMBINED WITH
THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS...

(SEE BELOW)




HOW MANY ?







WRONG, THERE ARE 6-- no joke.
READ IT AGAIN !
Really, go Back and Try to find the 6 F's before you scroll down.


The reasoning behind is further down.






The brain cannot process "OF".




Incredible or what? Go back and look again!!



Anyone who counts all 6 "F's" on the first go is a genius.


Three is normal, four is quite rare.

i am having trouble locating any solid statistics on this issue. i am working on a report about how schools handle bullies and teasing, and i need to track how the columbine shootings (apirl, 1999) have impacted how schools react and what impact that has had on child, preteen, and teenage depression, self mutalation (cutting, etc..) and suicide.
i have tried numerous sources but can't find any solid numbers over any real amount of time?
any ideas???


thanks for the help!!

I have been reading a bit about lottery winners who have went bankrupt after winning huge sums of money. One of the reasons being because they seem not to be able to say NO to charities, individuals and friends and family who want a piece of their winnings.
I find it ludacris myself that people would endanger their future and the future of their immediate family in this way when they win the lottery. Personally I would not give a dime to anyone until I was sure my stuff and my immediate family were ensured long term sercurity.

So I am wondering if others on here who with the knowledge that being too generous has really screwed over many a lottery winner to the point of being broke. Would you still say yes to all the charities and people after the money? Would you endanger your immediate family's security for distand family, friends, hard luck stories or the needs of charities? No way in hell I would. Would you?

My b/f's brother is 33 and lives at home. He works everyday and then goes home and stays in his room playing on the computer and etc. He only comes out of the room to eat and use the restroom. He won't socialize with the family and if you ask him something generally he raises his voice and says no or he's not interested or whatever. With these symptoms is it possibly a mental disorder that he may have? Oh yeah, we don't think he's ever had a girlfriend or anything and he isn't gay. He also has tons of swords hanging on his walls, which I'm afraid he may use on the family one day. Any suggestions as to what is going on mentally with him?
