Science, You're Crazy

Science Solves Age-Old Mystery of Why the Trip Home Always Seems Shorter

By Jen Doll Thu., Sep. 1 2011 at 5:42 PM

Pondering the long-held befuddler of why getting somewhere always seems to take longer than coming home afterward (and it's not because you're running late, or had a few drinks upon arrival at your location), science has determined that the return trip seems shorter because...your expectations have changed! In the study, 350 people took a bus or bike trip, or watched a video of a person taking a bike ride. Upon being quizzed about duration times, they felt that the the home journey, as experienced or viewed, went by "22 percent faster than the outward journey" -- even though it was the same.

News You Can Jews

What's Up The Jews' Asses on Yom Kippur?

By Foster Kamer Fri., Sep. 17 2010 at 4:15 PM

Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement for The Jews -- of which New York City has many -- is coming at this city faster than a first-time Brooklyn Tornado. For some Jews, it can't come fast enough -- funny, because The Jews fast on Yom Kippur -- which has something to do with why some Jews in New York are reportedly putting things up their asses before Yom Kippur.

The government of the people, by the people, and for the people has proven itself adept to knowing the people's will, as charges against The People's Hero -- some tiny Japanese guy who could eat an entire fraternity for lunch -- have been dropped as of today, according to the New York Daily News.
