What are you looking for in a relationship? I’m guessing you’ve been asked this at some point in your life, if not by a friend then by some guru on TV or in a magazine you read. Perhaps you’ve asked this of someone else. It’s the type of question that’s … Continue reading →

A Rather Unusual Use for A Penis

Overlooked Outlook Posted on April 18, 2024 by adminApril 18, 2024

Penises are great for so many things. Peeing. Dressing up in little costumes. Stirring one’s tea. Impromptu water gun. (My sister still hasn’t forgiven me for that one.) Oh, and I almost forgot, that other thing humans like to do. Yet scientists studying the insect world have recently discovered an … Continue reading →

AI is Here & It Wants To Kill Us All

Overlooked Outlook Posted on September 29, 2023 by adminSeptember 29, 2023

There’s an awful lot of things that can go wrong in this world.  Plagues.  Natural Disasters.  Nuclear war.  Ron DeSantis as president.  (Seriously, cant we just put Mickey Mouse instead?) Now we can add AI apocalypse to this long list of potential catastrophes. I recently read an article in vanity … Continue reading →

When People Can’t Behave, Hire A Crow

Overlooked Outlook Posted on September 16, 2023 by adminSeptember 16, 2023

For all our supposed sophistication, we humans can be a rather snobbish and inconsiderate lot. Take the rather annoying little habit that many smokers have of flicking their cigarette butts all over the place—on the street, at the park or playground, in the bumper cars at a carnival ride. The … Continue reading →

Imparted Wisdom: The Limits of Motivation

Overlooked Outlook Posted on June 13, 2023 by adminJune 13, 2023

“Motivation can be a powerful driver, but it is also fleeting and unreliable. Just consider the last time you felt motivated and how long it lasted. The truth is that it is more useful to have daily routines in place to help us achieve our goals. Imagine a heart surgeon … Continue reading →

Music or Torture?

Overlooked Outlook Posted on March 21, 2023 by adminMarch 21, 2023

Anyone who as ever listened to an 8-year-old trying to make music knows all too well that music can be torture.  A few minutes of them banging on a drum or trying to play Mary Had A Little Lamb on the harmonica and you will be ready to carve out … Continue reading →

Better Brains Through Music

Overlooked Outlook Posted on March 11, 2023 by adminMarch 11, 2023

There’s been a lot of hype about how Mozart can make you smarter. But the truth is that ANY music can boost mental acuity so long as it’s something you enjoy listening to. So rock on dead heads or get your groove on to Puff Daddy if you’d like. It’s … Continue reading →

What Spiders Do When High

Overlooked Outlook Posted on January 31, 2023 by adminJanuary 31, 2023

In 1995, NASA engaged in some rather unique research: they funded a study to give drugs to spiders, then assessed the toxicity of each drug based on the shape of the web the spiders spun while intoxicated. (Can I get three big hoorahs for our tax dollars at work!) What … Continue reading →

A Devious Twist On New Year Resolutions

Overlooked Outlook Posted on December 27, 2022 by adminDecember 27, 2022

This is the wonderful time of the year when we all get to look back on our lives and reflect on what an abject failure we’ve been. Realizing this, we are then compelled to make pledges for all the wondrous strides we’ll make in the coming year. We’re all going … Continue reading →
