“The brain, though a small organ, is responsible for a lot of things: It makes your body move, tells your heart to beat, and keeps you breathing without conscious effort. So it might make sense that using our brains for strenuous mental activity tires us out — when the brain is tired, so is the body. However, the connection between thinking too hard and being worn out seems to be entirely in our heads.” w/ photos

“The best part about drinking with droids is that droids don’t drink. Droids can mix your drink or pour your drink, but drinking it would mess with their circuits. They’ll leave the drinking up to you and then take your keys to drive you home. Droids are nice like that. Stop up your unfinished bottle of wine with everyone’s favorite astromech droid, R2-D2. This plastic bottle stopper fits into most wine bottles and can be rinsed and reused over and over again.” w/ photos
