    A hug on your left-hand side is more heart-felt than one on the right, scientists have found.

    Like...literally? Because your heart is closer to the left?

    According to the study, it has to do with our brain hemispheres. The right side being the side that controls emotions and the left side of the body, means a strong emotion drives us in that direction.

    How do you hug someone on the left side only?

    Put your arm around them.

    Aside from being the largest upload ever..... These are the expressions my brothers use to attract peoples attention, especially attractive women.

    I don't even think this is the largest upload I've made this month.

    Does your brother whistle or does he make hand gestures?

    TIL on 2009 Stephen Hawking held a party open to all, but only publicized the party after it was over so that only time-travellers would know to attend; as expected, nobody showed up to the party.
