Another classic from TED. A very entertaining video that shows clearly, that if you want to believe, you can believe in just about anything.
There is also a very interesting piece in there that tests one's attention span in a video. It is gender biased and shows a difference between men and women. A must see.
Enjoy.

Baris,
Thanks, great post. Being one of those that has read Blink (although I still take time to think), I was rolling with laughter.

I can't believe me and 4 of my friends failed the attention span test. Very interesting indeed.
