"Men are likely to eat more when around women."


A study at Indiana University of Pennsylvania and the University of Akron observed students' dining behavior over a 10-day period and found that men tended to buy more calories when eating with women as compared to when eating with men, while women showed the opposite tendency (buying fewer calories around men and more around women). Researchers theorize that people are more aware of gender norms when with the opposite sex. Men don't want to appear to be light eaters, and women don't want to be judged for eating too much.

"The "Presidential shell game" refers to a security maneuver performed by the U.S. Marines. "


Established under Eisenhower, the Marine One helicopter serves to carry the U.S. president from the south lawn of the White House to points nearby or to the tarmac where Air Force One awaits. However, "Marine One" is the President's exclusive call sign, not a helicopter designation. A handful of HMX-1 helicopters play the part of Marine One, dependent on which one the president is on. When transported this way, three or four identical HMX-1 helicopters fly together -- referred to as the "Presidential shell game" -- to confuse anyone looking to shoot the President down.
