Interesting facts
Following on from the recent thread about myths and legends, a thread about interesting and little know facts...
To get you started: The cover of Kurosawa's "Seven Samurai" only has 6 Samurai on it. Check out the cover here: http://www.senseofview.de/gfx/cover/seven_samurai.jpg

How about trying to do this:
If you are right handed use right arm and leg, if left handed use left arm and leg. While sitting down, raise your foot and start doing circles in the air clockwise, once you have done this for a little while, try and draw a circle in the air with your hand counter clockwise. Can you do it? The foot you were moving clock wise will now start moving counter clockwise. Weird how your body parts try to do what your mind is focusing on. I've always thought this was pretty cool |
