Reasons why octopuses in general are really weird:

• some have three hearts
• and venomous saliva 
• and a hidden parrot-like beak
• they can change the color and texture of their skin with incredible ease and speed (they are much better at it than chameleons) 
• they have “intelligent arms” that don’t seem to need instructions from the brain to perform certain actions

(this is a giant pacific octopus.)

We Feel Fine is an exploration of human emotion on a global scale.

Since August 2005, We Feel Fine has been harvesting human feelings from a large number of weblogs. Every few minutes, the system searches the world’s newly posted blog entries for occurrences of the phrases “I feel” and “I am feeling”. When it finds such a phrase, it records the full sentence, up to the period, and identifies the “feeling” expressed in that sentence (e.g. sad, happy, depressed, etc.). Because blogs are structured in largely standard ways, the age, gender, and geographical location of the author can often be extracted and saved along with the sentence, as can the local weather conditions at the time the sentence was written. All of this information is saved.

The result is a database of several million human feelings, increasing by 15,000 - 20,000 new feelings per day. Using a series of playful interfaces, the feelings can be searched and sorted across a number of demographic slices, offering responses to specific questions like: do Europeans feel sad more often than Americans? Do women feel fat more often than men? Does rainy weather affect how we feel? What are the most representative feelings of female New Yorkers in their 20s? What do people feel right now in Baghdad? What were people feeling on Valentine’s Day? Which are the happiest cities in the world? The saddest? And so on.

   1. The goal of life is happiness which is to live in agreement with Nature.
   2. Happiness depends on being self-sufficient, and a master of mental attitude.
   3. Self-sufficiency is achieved by living a life of Virtue.
   4. The road to virtue is to free oneself from any influence such as wealth, fame, or power, which have no value in Nature.
   5. Suffering is caused by false judgments of value, which cause negative emotions and a vicious character.
