    It's all an optical illusion. The television isn't actually any bigger, the manufacturers simply figured out a way to use mirrors to make you THINK it's bigger. Seriously, have you ever picked up a new TV and felt how light it is compared to the super-heavy-yet-smaller old TVs? That's because the TV industry has learned how to trick your eyes, but not yet trick gravity. I hear they're working on a solution to that, too, so future super-large TVs will revert back to the super-heavy weight our eyes expect to encounter.

    When skies are clear, sunlight warms you up; when skies are cloudy, the temperature drops since the sunlight can't reach us. Similarly, when you stand next to a campfire, you warm up; when a fellow camper walks between you and the fire, the temperature drops. Clearly, there's a connection between being exposed to light and temperature. So then how is it possible that when I wrap up in a blanket, which means zero light reaches my body, I get warmer? Shouldn't the opposite be true?
