We all have a certain way of acting under the influence of any given drug, but there are also certain things that are sure to take place. I know for instance that a good deal of you will be much more inclined to eat Ramen noodles or Cheese-Itz while having just inhaled a bit of the sticky-icky. Well here are a few more things you might find yourself doing if you partake in these various “extra-curricular” activities.

New Thor Trailer Is Here!
The newest trailer for Thor is here, starring Chris Hemsworth as the Norse god and Natalie Portman as his lady friend, and stuff is seriously blowing up left and right!
They don’t explain why, but…
We see Thor’s father (Anthony Hopkins) strip him of his godlike powers and trusty hammer, and banish him to Earth. And from the sound of it, that’s a pretty bad punishment. “Oh no, this is Earth, isn’t it,” he asks upon his arrival.
Fortunately, Portman is there to look after this strange new guy who literally fell out of the sky. And it can’t all be bad. He may be stripped of his powers, but he hasn’t lost his ability to beat up highly trained commandos…something we see him do a lot of.
TV Watching Is Bad for Babies’ Brains
Babies who watch TV are more likely to have delayed cognitive development and language at 14 months, especially if they’re watching programs intended for adults and older children. We probably knew that 24 and Grey’s Anatomy don’t really qualify as educational content, but it’s surprising that TV-watching made a difference at such a tender age.
Babies who watched 60 minutes of TV daily had developmental scores one-third lower at 14 months than babies who weren’t watching that much TV. Though their developmental scores were still in the normal range, the discrepancy may be due to the fact that when kids and parents are watching TV, they’re missing out on talking, playing, and interactions that are essential to learning and development.
$9.95 James Bond Rolex sells for $66,100 on eBay
So imagine this: you decide to sell your 52 year-old watch on eBay for $9.95 and when the auction is over you end up with $66,100. Not bad, right? That’s what happened to Bob.
The retired Navy doctor decided to sell a few of his old things and put his Rolex Submariner Ref 5510 dive watch up for auction on eBay. He bought the watch from a Navy Exchange 52 years ago and wore it almost every day for more than 35 years.
Students attack Prince Charles’ car after tution hike
Furious student protesters attacked a car carrying Prince Charles and his wife, Camilla, vandalized buildings and battled riot police Thursday as a controversial hike in university fees triggered Britain’s worst political violence in years.
In a major security breach, demonstrators set upon the heir to the throne’s Rolls Royce as it drove through London’s busy West End on its way to a theater. A group of up to 20 struck it with fists, sticks and bottles, breaking a window and splattering the gleaming black vehicle with paint.
In the frenzy, some chanted “off with their heads!”
