"Spread love like a fever
And don't you ever come down"

Os investigadores efectuaram o estudo com base num jogo simples, que dá pelo nome de MindHabits (na foto). No MindHabits, o jogador tem de descobrir um rosto sorridente por entre vários tristes ou carrancudos.
Os investigadores canadianos utilizaram o jogo como ferramenta de um estudo com vários operadores de call centers.
Durante uma semana, os operadores jogaram MindHabits no final do turno. Esta ligeira mudança de rotinas apresentou alterações surpreendentes: segundo os investigadores, no final da semana em análise, os operadores dos centros de atendimento fizeram mais vendas, mostraram maiores
níveis de confiança ao telefone e, mais importante ainda, apresentaram uma redução de 17% na hormona responsável pelo stress (cortisol).
As revelações deste estudo foram publicadas no número de Outubro do Journal of Personality and Social Psychology da Associação de Psicologia Americana.
Apesar do senso comum acreditar que as razões para manter relações sexuais são poucas e simples, um estudo da Universidade do Texas encontrou 237 motivos que tornam a escolha mais complexa.

A banana:
Graças á sua popularidade, cedo começou a aparecer em shows de televisão e, actualmente, é considerada como um ícone da cultura pop americana.
(Pergunto-me qual será o ícone da cultura pop portuguesa…a hello kitty? a pucca?)
A animação:

Let me apologize to begin with
Let me apologize for what I'm about to say
But trying to be genuine
Was harder than it seemed
And somehow I got caught up in between
Let me apologize to begin with
Let me apologize for what I'm about to say
But trying to be someone else
Was harder than it seemed
And somehow I got caught up in between
Between my pride and my promise
Between my lies and how the truth gets in the way
The things I want to say to you
Get lost before they come
The only thing that's worse than one is none
Let me apologize to begin with
Let me apologize for what I'm about to say
But trying to regain your trust
Was harder than it seemed
And somehow I got caught up in between
Between my pride and my promise
Between my lies and how the truth gets in the way
The things I want to say to you
Get lost before they come
The only thing that's worse than one is none
The only thing that's worse than one is none
And I cannot explain to you
In anything I say or do or plan
Fear is not afraid of you
But guilt's a language you can understand
I cannot explain to you in anything I say or do
I hope the actions speak the words they can
For my pride and my promise
For my lies and how the truth gets in the way
The things I want to say to you
Get lost before they come
The only thing that's worse than one is none
For my promise
Between my lies and how the truth gets in the way
The things I want to say to you get lost before they come
The only thing that's worse than one is none
The only thing that's worse than one is none
The only thing that's worse than one is none
Quem quer dizer o que sente
Não sabe o que há de dizer.
Fala: parece que mente
Cala: parece esquecer
Ah, mas se ela adivinhasse,
Se pudesse ouvir o olhar,
E se um olhar lhe bastasse
Pra saber que a estão a amar!
Mas quem sente muito, cala;
Quem quer dizer quanto sente
Fica sem alma nem fala,
Fica só, inteiramente!
Mas se isto puder contar-lhe
O que não lhe ouso contar,
Já não terei que falar-lhe
Porque lhe estou a falar...
