"The difference between being smart and being a genius is an insatiable sense of curiosity."

...big news coming tomorrow. Not about me being a genius. But about all of us acting upon what we now know.

I have noticed a pattern with both my single and divorced male friends. Most of them chew loudly with their mouths open while eating.

And, at first, I jumped to "oh, that's why they're single." But, it's obviously a result, not a symptom, right? Most of them eat most of their meals alone. And therefore, with no social norms or polite niceties to pay attention to, eat in the most efficient way possible.

It makes sense. And will make you feel sad the next time you're grossed out by it.

If you don't have a Web site, you should really get one from these guys. I don't care what you do. Networking is essential for your future. And your name is your personal brand. Make sure it's pretty. Flavors.me is the easiest and most affordable way I've seen for the non tech-geek to do it. Check out the video.

Consider the unique benefits of stalking in the 21st century.

You can leaf through pages and pages of photos of your target... that they have uploaded themselves for your convenience. You can see their answers to "What are you doing right now?" at any time - day or night.

Your target helps you maintain constant surveillance by utilizing GPS check-in with Facebook Places and FourSquare.

It's a relative golden age. You can even stalk from home if you want.

You're Charles Darwin. And your 5 years surveying the natural sciences around the world on the HMS Beagle have wrecked you.

Mainstream thought no longer seems possible. That every creature in existence had been created instantaneously in one fell swoop. That the fossil remains of extinct species are simply the ones that didn't make it on to Noah's Ark. These assumed truths no longer makes sense with what you're seeing.

And then you notice layers of seashell sediment on a nearby mountain. Realizing that this geology could have only happened over millions of years. Not the 6,000 maximum your peers all assume is possible.

Your no longer know what to believe. And you are all alone.

200 years ago, before scientists had even the most basic understanding of genetics, what the heck must they have thought when a pregnant woman popped out identical twins?

You're a PR image consultant for the Church of Islam in America.

Your reputation here sucks. So, what do you do? Keeping in mind that you have no power to change legitimate articles of faith. Simply perception. What do you focus on? What would you want Americans to think of when they think of Islam?

This is a sermon I gave last week regarding the difference between the church today and the community in Acts 4. It was terrifying. I'm not cut out for it. But, if you're curious...

And we couldn't put the SNL Clip I Got This on our site for copyright reasons, so when I introduce it, you can watch it here.

Well, we don't really have any conclusions. Becky was the only one that really played along. But that actually did produce some gullibility...in me.

My goal was to predict broad, yet seemingly specific circumstances that would creep you out.

TEST SUBJECT: BECKY JOHNSON
"You will have an awkward encounter with a tall man today."
Becky's husband is 6'8" tall. And without her verifying this, you'd have to imagine she could have found something if she had tried.

"You will experience a small amount of physical pain."
Becky is breastfeeding a 5-week angel named Louisa. (Congrats Becky!)

"Your day will not end up as you had originally planned it."
The day in the life of a 5-week old is, by definition, un-plannable.

After Becky's comment on Wednesday, I thought to myself, "woah, that's weird. I wasn't even thinking of Becky when I was creating these."

The project worked....on me. I confused coincidence for something else, and I acutely aware of what I was trying to achieve. If you were Becky, and you had a leaning to believe this stuff, wouldn't you?

You are going to feel embarrassed today in front of a small group of people. Try and laugh it off.

Report your results before tomorrow's wrap-up.
