An account on the development of the "biohazard" symbol

“The only parameters that I set down for them to noodle through were, it had to be unique and something that would be striking enough that it would be remembered.”

I had always wondered how did this extremely badass symbol come to be. And the blame has to be put in the package design people of Dow Chemicals, circa 1966. It’s a cool backstory, specially the end.

Women suffer from more nightmares than men, but men are more likely to dream of sexual intercourse.

In other totally awesome news, men are also stronger and able to pee directionally while stood up :D

fuckyeahfacts:

British psychologist Jennie Parker asked about 200 18-to-25 year olds to keep a dream diary, and found that not only do the gals have more nightmares than the guys, but that their nightmares are more emotionally intense and psychologically significant.


Confirming the male’s horndog status, Parker also discovered that men have more dreams involving sexual activity, and when a woman does dream of sex, it is less likely to contain actual intercourse.
