Cracked.com. Much of the brain is still mysterious to modern science, possibly because modern science itself is using brains to analyze it.
There are probably secrets the brain simply doesn't want us to know. But by no means should that stop us from tinkering around in there, using somewhat questionable and possibly dangerous techniques to make our brains do what we want. We can't vouch for any of these, either their effectiveness or safety. All we can say is that they sound awesome, since apparently you can make your brain... #5. So you just picked up the night shift at your local McDonald's, you have class every morning at 8am and you have no idea how you're going to make it through the day without looking like a guy straight out of Dawn of the Dead, minus the blood... hopefully.
"SLEEEEEEEEEP... uh... What if we told you there was a way to sleep for little more than two hours a day, and still feel more refreshed than taking a 12-hour siesta on a bed made entirely out of baby kitten fur? Holy Shit! UNEXPLAINED AMERICA. Does the Color Pink Exist? Scientists Arent Sure. In a blog post, Robert Krulwich of the public radio show Radiolab noted that there is no pink in the colors of the rainbow.
Pink is actually a combination of red and violet, two colors, which, if you look at a rainbow, are on the opposite sides of the arc. Remember the old colors of the rainbow mnemonic ROYGBIV? The R (red) is as far as it can get from V (violet). That’s where the trouble lies. Pink can’t exist in nature without a little rainbow-bending help, which would allow the shades of red and violet to commingle. I know, of course, that all colors are just waves of light, so every color we “see,” we see with our brains. (MORE: Hues You Can Use) So there you have it. We will leave the debate over the color pink to the experts, because we know one Pink who definitely still exists.

You pick out this unique model with brilliant colors and feel there is something really special about it. In fact, you picked it out precisely because it was special. After signing some contract for payment, you leave the dealership and are driving down the highway, a flurry of other cars whip by you, but the ones that you notice are now the exact car and model that you just bought! Suddenly it seems like you have purchased the least-unique car of them all. All the rest of the automobiles that are whipping by are quickly ‘forgotten’ as mere noise or waves of red and white lights—your car, the one you are driving, is everywhere!
Your conscious mind has a certain power over the material world which has been verified and validated in another world currently being explored by physicists: the quantum world. When something is moving really fast, I can’t make out any details, not even its general shape. So, is it a disk or a pen? BeyondWeird.
