The accompanying article is priceless

A year after the breakup that "ruined her life", Sandra Talbot literally bumped into her into her ex-girlfriend Adrienne Martin while wearing an inflatable sumo wrestler costume at an Irish pub Halloween party. They traded words and later when Martin started waving to a man dressed as a Snickers bar, the sumo wrestler allegedly shoved her, hit her on the side of the head, and then threw a Smirnoff Ice bottle at the Snickers bar. Now they're all in court and that's where it really gets weird…

New research from Harvard University suggests that moral actions may increase people’s capacity for willpower and physical endurance. Study participants who did good deeds — or even just imagined themselves helping others — were better able to perform a subsequent task of physical endurance.

The research, published in the journal Social Psychological and Personality Science, shows a similar or even greater boost in physical strength following mean-spirited deeds.

Researcher Kurt Gray, a doctoral student in psychology at Harvard, explains these effects as a self-fulfilling prophecy in morality.

“People perceive those who do good and evil to have more efficacy, more willpower, and less sensitivity to discomfort,” Gray said. “By perceiving themselves as good or evil, people embody these perceptions, actually becoming more capable of physical endurance.”

Sort of related to the film festival Jake posted about: girl falls to her death right in the presentation area in Shangri-La. Hope this doesn't put so much of a damper on the festivities. Don't know yet whether it was an accident or a suicide.

WARNING! Graphic image ahead.

It appeared on TV Patrol. They said she fell from the sixth (!!) floor, hit the 2nd floor and ended up on the ground level
