Sports › Re: Nigeria's Loss To Morocco: How Would You Describe The Ghanian Referee? by Winterhaven(m):
I know Nigerians will resort to blaming the ref after the super chickens get dumped out of the tournament...

Always making noise when they win, but are never magnanimous in defeat.

Looking forward to an interesting game, and hoping Nigeria won't use ref bias as an excuse if they lose.

robosky02:
I've come to discover almost all the counties that tried to study Nigeria and plan to cage Osimhen omo na them dey collect pass.

As it stands even the once on the bench are more dangerous

Chukwueze, Onuachu Onyedika ect
Nigerians and chest beating... So a team shouldn't study their opponents in preparation to play them?

After all the chest beating, if you lose now, you'll start blaming the ref

At school, Little Johnny's classmate tells him that most adults are hiding at least one dark secret, so it's very easy to blackmail them by saying, "I know the whole truth."

Little Johnny decides to go home and try it out. Johnny's mother greets him at home, and he tells her, "I know the whole truth." His mother quickly hands him $20 and says, "Just don't tell your father." Quite pleased, the boy waits for his father to get home from work, and greets him with, "I know the whole truth." The father promptly hands him $40 and says, "Please don't say a word to your mother."

Very pleased, the boy is on his way to school the next day when he sees the mailman at his front door. The boy greets him by saying, "I know the whole truth." The mailman immediately drops the mail, opens his arms, and says, "You do? Then come give your Daddy a big hug!"

Education › Chronostasis: When Time Seems To Freeze by Winterhaven(op): 3:40pm On Jan 10
Growing up, I used to notice a phenomenon, and until recently, I never knew the actual reason behind it.

Sometimes, when I suddenly stare at a wall clock, the second hand seems to freeze for just slightly too long. It seems to stay there for an extra half-second. It’s almost as though time has temporarily frozen. I've experienced this too with digital clocks, where the ticking seconds seem to freeze.

This is a real illusion, known as chronostasis. When we make sudden eye movements (known as saccades), the information coming from our eyes is essentially ignored by our brain - we stop processing visual images. This is to prevent us from experiencing blurry vision that would likely give a constant state of nausea and disorientation. Once our saccade finishes, and we focus on the clock, a signal is sent to our brain which ends this suppression and resumes processing images like normal.

However, our brain realises that there has been a gap in perception, a period of time that seemingly went missing. And so we fill in this gap with the image that we focus on when the saccade ends - the clock. Our brain gives us false memory, making us believe we have been looking at the clock since the saccade began, not since it ended.

This is why, when we suddenly look around and aren’t processing any visual images, we don’t go temporarily blind. That gap in visual perception is simply substituted with the image of the clock. Of course, this explains our time-freezing illusion. Our brain makes us believe we have been looking at the clock for an extra half a second - the half a second when our eyes darted from what it was looking before to the clock.

This is a fascinating reminder of how powerful our brain really is - it manages to change our perception of time and practically modifies our memories.

A pastor found a Baboon that could talk. So he taught it how to sing, pray and preach. At one Sunday service, the pastor says to the congregation, “The Baboon is going to pray today”.

The Baboon sits still and the pastor repeats but the Baboon did not respond. After the service pastor asks. “Why didn’t you want to pray when I asked you to? Baboon says, “was it necessary to say baboon? You could have at least said, ‘Brother Bobby’.”

My girlfriend is always worried she doesn't have a hot and sexy body. As a good boyfriend, I told her one day she will have a smoking hot body.

She asked me how and when, and I promised her when she dies, I will make sure her body is cremated.

Two women are walking home from the bar, they both have to piss so they slip into a nearby cemetery. One uses her panties to wipe herself, and the other uses a card off a head stone.

Next night, the husbands meet at the bar, one looks at the other and says, "I'm gonna have to watch my wife, she came home with no panties last night."

The other one says, "Oh well, mine came home with a card wedged in her ass saying, 'You were loved and will be missed by the whole entire fire department.'"

A tough looking group of hairy bikers are riding when they see a girl about to jump off a bridge, so they stop. The leader, a big burly man, gets off his bike and says, "What are you doing?" "I'm going to commit suicide," she says.

While he doesn’t want to appear insensitive, he also doesn’t want to miss an opportunity, so he asks, "Well, before you jump, why don't you give me a kiss?" She does, and it is a long, deep, lingering kiss.

After she's finished, the tough, hairy biker says, "Wow! That was the best kiss I’ve ever had! That's a real talent you’re wasting. You could be famous. Why are you committing suicide?" "My parents don't like me dressing up like a girl…"

Lawyer: Doctor, before you performed the autopsy, did you check for pulse?

Doctor: No.

Lawyer: Did you check for blood pressure?

Doctor: No.

Lawyer: Did you check for breathing?

Doctor: No.

Lawyer: So, then it is possible that the patient was alive when you began the autopsy? Doctor: No.

Lawyer: How can you be so sure, Doctor?

Doctor: Because his brain was sitting on my desk in a jar.

Lawyer: But could the patient have still been alive nevertheless?

Doctor: Yes, it is possible that he could have been alive and practicing law somewhere...
