Video Fun: Peeing in the Shower Saves Water

In Brazil, the environmental group SOS Mata Altantica, has released a video asking people everywhere to conserve water.

Their request is very specific: they want you to SAVE WATER BY PEEING IN THE SHOWER.

After much research, they’ve determined that peeing in the shower will save at least one toilet flush.  And if each household can flush one less time per day, they could save over 1,000 gallons of water.  Multiply that 1,000 gallons by the number of households in your neighborhood (or state, or country), and you’ll see that’s a lot of water being saved.

Check out the cameos in this video, showing all sorts of celebrities peeing in the shower, from Alfred Hitchcock to Michael Jordan.  If celebrities can pee in the shower, you can too.

How To Find Your Lost Wallet

Find? How about “get it returned”?

A study in England dropped 240 wallets around town to see which wallets would get returned.

The wallets didn’t contain any money or other useful items, just receipts or ticket stubs.

However, there was one key difference in each wallet, which is what the study was all about:  DOES THE PHOTO YOU CARRY IN YOUR WALLET INCREASE THE LIKELIHOOD THAT THE WALLET WOULD BE RETURNED?

The answer to that question, apparently, is “yes”.
