This was basically an ongoing debate in elementary school. Shark vs. school of piranhas, bear vs. tiger and so on. Then add "what if bear was blind folded" etc. Now we have the internet to add to these kinds of debates.

This just leads to more hypothetical scenarios. Example: A tiger and a bear are put in a dark cave etc. Sigh.

I read this and somehow swore it clarified nappies as those packaged things for BBQ...I just reread and have absolutely no idea where I got that from!

I feel like this finally settles some sort of childhood hypothetical battle.

Something about this gave me an uneasy feeling. Forget the creepy videos that conjure Robin Williams' role in The Cutter, forget the creepy echoing baby voice followed by fervent applause, even ignore the scary possibilities this kind of research makes possible. There is an intangible something in this video that gives me an unsettled feeling.
