Richard Wiseman presents a brief visual test that indicates whether or not you are sleep deprived.
Do you need an alarm clock to wake up? Do you need a couple coffees or energy drinks to get through the day? You may be sleep deprived. Richard Wiseman of In 59 Seconds has created this short sleep test for viewers to learn just how tired they are. Need more sleep?
Firefighter and paramedic Jeff Rehman demonstrates a way to save yourself from choking if there is no one around to assist you. This technique is borrowed from abdominal strength training for use in forcing the obstruction out of your throat.
| You get many of me but never enough. After the last one your life soon will snuff. You may have one of me but one day a year. When the last one is gone your life disappears.
What am I? |

The husband leans over and asks his wife, “Do you remember the first time we had sex together over fifty years a go? We went behind this very tavern where you leaned against the back fence and I made love to you.”
“Yes,” she says, “I remember it well.” “OK,” he says, “How about taking a stroll around there again and we can do it for old time’s sake?” “Oh Charlie, you old devil. That sounds like a crazy, but very good idea!” There’s a police officer sitting in the next booth listening to all this, and having a chuckle to himself. He thinks, “I’ve got to see these two old-timers having sex against a fence. I’ll just keep an eye on them so there’s no trouble.” So he follows them. They walk haltingly along, leaning on each other for support, aided by walking sticks. Finally they get to the back of the tavern and make their way to the fence. The old lady lifts her skirt and the old man drops his trousers. As she leans against the fence, the old man moves in. Suddenly they erupt into the most furious sex that the watching policeman has ever seen, and it goes on for about 20 minutes. Finally, they both collapse panting on the ground. The policeman is amazed. He thinks he has learned something about life that he didn’t know. He goes over to help them up, and ask them what their secret is. As the couple catches their breaths he says to them, “Excuse me, but that was something else. You must’ve had a fantastic sex life together. Is there some sort of secret to this?” “Yep,” the old man says. “Fifty years ago that wasn’t an electric fence.” |
