In a 1997 study published by Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, the psychologist Dr. Arthur Aron guided pairs of strangers in tasks specifically designed to generate closeness. Part of the experiment involved answering a series of 36 questions and then staring into your designated partner’s eyes for four straight minutes. Dr. Aron’s methodology famously resulted in an official marriage. According to his findings, reciprocal self-disclosure plays a critical part in relationship building, perhaps more so than common interests, expectations, or pheromones.
Despite the overwhelming scientific evidence disproving claims that vaccines cause autism, there are still people like this who think their child is better off for not getting vaccinated.
Which was a problem for her once she realized she was in the middle of a measles outbreak. This anti-vaxxer mom turned to her fellow vaccine truthers on Facebook for advice.
If only there were a tried and tested method with which to protect people from infectious diseases. Perhaps one that led to measles being declared eliminated in the United States in the year 2000? This accomplishment is something that the recent rise in anti-vax movement is threatening to overturn.
The anti-vaxxer’s post quickly spread online, where the internet offered some hysterically biting advice:
In 2013, A UPS employee named Sean McCarren created a Facebook group called ‘UPS Dogs‘, to pay tribute to all the four legged friends that make UPS driver’s shifts a lot joyful.

McCarren told HuffPost:
‘When you’re running into dogs all the time, it creates a bond when you see them every day,””It’s cool to meet some of the same dogs on the route, because they know who you are and they are excited to see you.”

Andrew Taylor of New Zealand’s South Island grew frustrated with the local dog park’s lack of good throwing sticks, so the 59-year-old decided to take matter in his own hands and create a ‘Stick Library’ for all the local pups to enjoy.
Taylor came up with the idea when he was trimming trees by his house and asked himself what he could do with all of the leftover branches.
He pruned and smoothed each branch into the perfect sized dog stick and put them all into a crate. The box’s engraving reads: “Stick Library – please return.”
During World War I, in the winter of 1914, on the battlefields of Flanders, one of the most unusual events in all of human history took place.
