SURVEYS, STUDIES & SUCH
You know that song you can’t get out of your head, no matter how hard you try? Scientists have been studying earworms and found they tend to be faster than other songs, with catchy melodies and unexpected jumps between notes. One study found earworms averaged 124 beats per minute, compared with 116 for other popular songs. Repeated listening helps, too. Other circumstances that can create earworms include:
• Memory triggers: a word, person, sound or situation that brings a song to mind.
• Emotional states: such as a mood, stress or surprise.
• Low-attention moments: such as mind wandering or monotonous tasks.
A review of 47 studies found earworms are personal. That means the song driving you crazy might not even register with someone else.

The “Girls” are back. Ten years after the HBO series following the twenty-somethings ended, Lena Dunham will reunite the original cast for a limited 5-episode run on HBO. In a promotional video on social media, Dunham asks her co-stars: “Can we still call it ‘Girls’? Because we’re like old as (bleep!)”. The series is set to begin production next summer, a decade after the Season 6 finale. Judd Apatow will return to executive produce the series. LINK: https://tinyurl.com/4mymjsf5

OF THE DAY
Move over, James Bond! Tesla CEO Elon Musk has unveiled a next-generation Roadster that looks more like a spaceship than a car…and can pretty much fly. You may have seen video, but during a livestreamed demonstration in Texas, the electric vehicle appeared to drive upside down, perform an aerial kick flip over 5 parked Teslas, and use thrusters to hit 60mph (100kph) in less than one second. Three versions are planned: Performance, Thrust and Rocket, with the top model capable of some seriously wild maneuvers. The Roadster has been teased since 2017, and production is now promised for 2028. Tesla hasn’t announced prices, but you’ll need to lay down $250,000 just as a deposit for one version. And the Rocket edition is invitation-only. LINK: https://tinyurl.com/389mxnj4

WEIRD NEWS
A Kelowna, B.C., city council candidate has been elected, despite admitting he’s completely unqualified! 33-year-old Brady Rogers went viral with campaign signs bearing messages including: “I barely want to do this,” “Just trying to pay my rent,” “Fine. I’ll do it,” and “How hard can it be?” His website added: “Do I enjoy politics? No. Do I know what I’m doing? No. But am I qualified? Also no.” Preliminary results show Rogers finished 4th among 37 candidates, with 12,635 votes, which means he won a seat on council. Despite the jokes, the small-business owner says he’s serious about tackling homelessness, housing affordability and supporting small businesses. LINK: https://tinyurl.com/mrkzveth

SLIGHTLY SHADY LIFE HACKS:
From the Reddit community UnethicalLifeProTips…
☞ “Looking for a gently used video game console/game/tablet this holiday season? Wait outside a GameStop, find someone trading in what you want, and tell them you will give them $25 more than whatever GameStop offers them.”
☞ “If you’re using a service’s free trial and plan on purchasing it, cancel the trial period before it automatically charges you. Companies will often offer you a discount to get you to stay.”
☞ “(To visit historic buildings and museums for free,) Pretend you’re engaged and are considering the location as your wedding venue. You’ll get in for free and be given a tour.”
☞ “Send a wedding invite to every billionaire you can find an address for, as there’s a good chance their assistants will just send you a gift without ever confirming who you are or if their boss knows you.”
☞ “If you can’t get your roommate to clean up, create a fake Tinder profile, match with them, and tell them you’re coming over. They’ll leave the place absolutely spotless in no time.” (That was more work than cleaning the place yourself!)
☞ “If you want to call in sick and need a certificate from the doctor, you can often triple the duration of your certificate by telling the doctor that you’re working in the food industry.”
☞ “If you’re FaceTiming with a relative and you don’t want to talk to them very long, start the conversation by saying your phone is only at 5% battery and it might die soon. Then just hang up in a few mins.”
☞ “If you are in a crowded nightclub and trying to find your way out, start to run and pretend you are about to vomit.”
