The Swedish people are big recyclers. Only 1% of garbage is thrown away, with 50% recycled or composted and 49% burnt for electricity. This may sound like good news, but it has resulted in one major issue: there isn't enough rubbish to keep the incinerators going. As a result, Sweden has devised an innovative solution. To keep the lights on, they import garbage from Norway and the United Kingdom. As an added plus, the nations actually pay Sweden to remove their rubbish!

Klecksography—the technique of creating pictures using inkblots—was a popular children's game in the late nineteenth century. In general, the game entailed pouring ink onto paper, flipping it over, and seeing what pictures appeared. Rorschach, who worked in a Swiss asylum, wondered if patients might read these inkblots differently based on pathology, and he had some success with this. That prompted him to start employing his own custom-made, abstract, symmetrical drawings to elicit mental responses from his participants. Rorschach felt that by doing so, he could delve deeper into a patient's psyche than written psychological exams permitted.

Venus flytraps feed on a variety of insects and arachnids. Crickets, beetles, grasshoppers, spiders, snails, ants, worms, and, of course, flies are all prey. The Venus flytrap will most likely be able to capture the bug as long as it is tiny enough to fit in a trap. The prevalent misconception that Venus flytraps are only used to catch flies is erroneous. In the wild, Venus flytraps not only have a diversified diet, but their primary prey are frequently ants and crawling insects.

Several studies have found that hypnosis can be an effective pain management tool. In fact, EEG studies have shown that hypnosis removes the emotional experience of pain while allowing the sensory sensation to be experienced. When they are in this trance-like state, they can feel touch, but their brain does not recognise pain. As they prepare for natural childbirth, an increasing number of women are undergoing prenatal hypnosis training.
