Paper.li

The article Cat Saves Owner's Life Just Hours After Being Adopted was very interesting because it was about a cat who was able to save her owner, who was having diabetic seizure by waking the owner and her son up in the middle of the night so they could get help. I didn't know that in general cats are more selfish, solitary animals. Considering this information I think it is really cool that the cat was one of few to care for their owner. If you were the owner, how do you think you would respond to this information, knowing that you almost died?

In Flying Squid Rocket Through the Air I learned that Squids actually fly, but not only do they fly they fly faster than they swim. They take water in eject in from thier body which pushes them up into the air. As I was reading I thought to myself, If squid fly so well why haven't people noticed this before? Ronald O'Dor answered my question he thinks that most of squids flying takes place at night and so it's not as noticeable. I find this behaviour for Squids interesting because I thought squids lived deeper down in the ocean. I also like the research because it reminds me that there are still discoveries out there to make.

I think that Bus Stop Ad Reacts Only To Women is a really funny article. The bus stop ad only responds to woman who stand infront of the face recognition technology, and plays a video for them. But for men it shows a link to the advertiser's website. The adveritisement is tring to  to raise money to help educate woman in 3rd world countries, so I think it is really weird how their is a definte group this non-profit organization is adversiting to.
