I Love Stats: Birth Rate Statistics For The USA [Infographic]

A Social Experiment: Can Complete Strangers Fool You?
This is really interesting because when you think about it, we've all seen movies where the actors and actresses had chemistry. It doesn't even have to be a sexual chemistry, it could just be a chemistry that sucks us in and makes us believe what they are saying. If a movie is good, we'll get lost ...

Life: The Ultimate Instruction Manual For Men
When I was growing up, my dad took good care of us. He always made sure we had food on the table and clothes on our back.

Most Children Learn Computer Skills Before Life Skills
This is very interesting to me. It hits home because when I saw my sister and her three-year-old son a month ago, I noticed something that seemed a little strange to me.
