Project TILT: Pokemon Shock

By -
Pokemon's thirty-eight episode entitled Dennō Senshi Porygon (Computer/Electric Soldier Porygon) caused seizures to at least 658 Japanese viewers when it was aired on December 16, 1997.

The seizure was caused by red and blue flashes at extremely fast rate, triggering photosensitive seizures in which the stimuli can cause altered consciousness (Wikipedia). Because of this incident, this episode was not rebroadcasted worldwide.

So, if you're watching cartoons/anime, and there are flashing lights (even if it is not red), it's better to look away from the screen until the flashing stops. =)

And so, thirty one years ago, God created you. And I will be forever grateful to Him for that special day.  This is your special day. We may have limited budget, we may have many constraints, but always remember that YOU are special, and

Project TILT: Ladies, how's your gait?

Reading through Quora, I found this: A woman's history of vaginal orgasm is discernible from her walk Yes, it is a legitimate research done in Belgium. Complete text of the research can be found here . For those who are too lazy to read, here's the results part of the abstract: In the sample of healthy young Belgian women (half of whom were vaginally orgasmic), history of vaginal orgasm (triggered solely by penile–vaginal intercourse) was diagnosable at far better than chance level (81.25% correct, Fisher's Exact Test P  < 0.05) by appropriately trained sexologists. Clitoral orgasm history was unrelated to both ratings and to vaginal orgasm history. Exploratory analyses suggest that greater pelvic and vertebral rotation and stride length might be characteristic of the gait of women who have experienced vaginal orgasm ( r  = 0.51, P  < 0.05). Translation: Trained sexologists was able to correctly identify girls who have history of vaginal orgasm 81.25%
