Rubber Chicken Four men were bragging about how smart their dogs were. One was an engineer, the second man was an accountant, the third was a chemist, and the fourth was a government worker.

To show off, the engineer called to his dog, “T-Square” do your stuff!”

T-Square trotted over to a desk, took out some paper and a pen and promptly drew a square, circle and triangle.

Everyone agreed that was pretty smart.

But, the accountant said his dog could do better. He called to his dog and said, “Spreadsheet, do your stuff.”

Spreadsheet went into the kitchen and returned with a dozen cookies. He then divided them into 4 equal piles of 3 cookies each.

Everyone agreed that was good.

But the chemist said his dog could do better.

He called to his dog and said, “Measure, do your stuff.”

Measure got up, walked over to the fridge, took out a quart of milk, got a 10 oz. glass from the cup-board and poured exactly 8 oz. without spilling a drop.

Everyone agreed that was pretty impressive.

The three men turned to the government worker and said, “What can your dog do?”

The government worker called to his dog and said, “Coffee Break, do your stuff.”

Coffee Break jumped to his feet, ate the cookies, drank the milk, took a crap on the paper, had sex with the other three dogs, claimed he injured his back while doing so, filed a grievance report for unsafe working conditions, put in for worker’s compensation and then went home for the rest of the day on sick leave.

They ALL agreed, that dog was brilliant!

Mental Floss host Elliott Morgan discusses a series of common misconceptions about exercise.

Whether you’re exercising to lose weight or just to be healthy, it’s important you do it right. This video takes on some of the most popular myths around exercise and clears things up for you.

How long should you hold on to your running shoes? Is there a magical heart rate level for fat burning? Mental Floss YouTube host Elliott Morgan is here to demystify some popular old wives’ tales you may have heard before. Things like running on a treadmill isn’t necessarily better for your knees, you don’t need to be sweating a waterfall to be getting a good workout, sit-ups won’t get you a six pack, and that most fitness machines in the gym can’t accurately count how many calories you’ve burned. We’ve covered a few these before, like the fact that stretching before exercise doesn’t necessarily lower the risk of injury and that “no pain, no gain” is terrible device, but when it comes to exercise, incorrect knowledge can lead to you doing more work than you need or worse, injury.

Not Just A Stack Of Wood

If you think this is just a stack of wood… take a closer look.

Not Just a Stack Of Logs

Imaging taking a walk through a rural field somewhere off in the countryside. If you came upon a large stack of logs, you probably wouldn’t think much was out of the ordinary. After all, farmers and even those who just live in the countryside create large bundles for their winter supply. Or maybe you’d just assume they were discarded and left behind by some lumberjacks. Upon closer inspection, however, you’d be amazed to find that one particular set of seemingly normal logs are actually a secret cabin in disguise!

The camouflaged nature getaway was designed for Dutch performer Hans Liberg by Piet Hein Eeek, to be used as a recording studio. Even when he isn’t recording, the little cabin is the ultimate escape for some “me time” when the hustle and bustle of everyday life begins to grow overwhelming. Portions of the logs lift up to become fully functional windows, and inside the small space is simply furnished with musical instruments, recording equipment, as well as a bookshelf and cozy window seat. Imagine escaping into the woods, tucking yourself away in the little cabin, and snugging up on one of the over sized, plush cushions. Talk about sweetness in solitude.

The cabin looks even more charming during nightfall, as night descends upon the woods and quiets the world around it. Te only thing visible from the outside of the seeming stack of logs is the warm, orange glow of the lights. The perfect, serene atmosphere for any musician at work.
