Mar 17, 2012 - That's weird man. I wonder if he identifies with the character and that's what draws him to this type of discussion? It does seem a little insensitive, but it makes sense in a weird way.

Mar 18, 2012 - i have read about that / he got burn in a fire ..... its amazing how imagination can turn into realty sometimes /....i mean there are 7 billions people on the plant and growing // the probability that someday somewhere someone will be much like a fictional character is not that small......

Mar 21, 2012 - 3:30 - 3:55 - he also doesn't point out that even the color of the arrows pointing at the yellow vs brown cube examples - are actually the same color - but at first they seem to be a dark orange versus a brighter orange.

Mar 24, 2012 - It's not because other people like it that it gets likes, it get's liked because people see it every time someone clicks the video

Mar 25, 2012 - I think that the reason they get more upvotes is because you don't have to scroll down nearly as much. It's laziness not peer pressure.

Apr 25, 2012 - Many years ago, on my 16th birthday I think, my friend gave me a book, I read few chapters then put it in my shelve. Many years later today, I look at the title, it's Predictably Irrational by Dan Ariely! Jesus!
