tired or wired

arts central has a very interesting show on tv tonight. they do experiments like which kind of food gives you most gas and weird stuff like that. I especially like the tired or wired section. it's quite useful for me. they got 2 guys: 1 has not slept for 2 days. 1 has been drinking energy boosting drinks for 2 days. and got them to do 3 challenges.

the first challenge was a game of snap. wired (who drank all the energy drink) kept "snapping" wrongly. tired, although slow, was able to do it accurately. so tired 1 wired 0.

second challenge was a game of balancing on a big ball while balancing a tub of water on their head. tired won again.

last challenge was how fast they could park a caravan. this time wired won. so the final score is tired 2 wired 1.

I could not sleep last night, had an irriating throat and cough. was extremely tired this morning and while driving to school, for the first time, i almost fell asleep while driving!! it's quite a scary feeling because i could hardly keep my eyes open while manoeuvring the bends of PIE. So the experiment proved that lack of sleep really retards driving skill.

they have another experiment called fat or thin. last week they proved that if you were stranded in sea (from a shipwreak) the fat person could float longer than a thin guy. this week, they showed that if a thin guy was stuck in a blizzard, he'll have less damage from the storm than a fat guy.

Quite an interesting show!
