Muppets
The Muppets don't mind creepy psychology. The movie "The Muppet Christmas Carol", features many scenes that feature humans and Muppets interacted. This film is famous for its frightening scene with an apparition who looks exactly like Scrooge. But the director of the film was cautious about making this scary for children. Instead, he softened the scene with the help of Rizzo and Gonzo, the characters who appear in the movie.

What is the most fascinating fact about the human body
There are two eyes, two ears. Two nostrils. Four limbs. A mouth, nose and penis. That's right, we have more than 50 parts of our bodies, but one thing is missing. A heart.
A heart is a pump, which circulates blood throughout our bodies. The blood moves through the arteries and veins to transport oxygen and nutrients into the cells, and remove carbon dioxide.
Each minute, the heart pumps approximately 5 liters. This is equivalent in daily coffee consumption to an adult who consumes approximately 2 to 3 cups.
Blood flows through the heart 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. When you're asleep, your heart beats approximately 100 times per hour.
Skin color can be used to determine if someone has a medical condition. Capillaries are tiny blood vessels visible on the skin's surface. These vessels carry blood away to the heart via the large blood vessels. The skin becomes blue-colored or purple when blood flow is restricted.
People with sickle cell disease lack red blood cells. Their blood becomes very sticky and hardened, leading to serious illness.
If you cut yourself, a bandage is applied to stop the bleeding. For the wound to heal properly, blood must continue to flow. To do this, doctors will insert a needle through your skin into the vein adjacent to the injury. This allows the blood from the injured area to drain.
Doctors also insert tubes (catheters) into the artery near the site where the blood clot forms. This keeps the patient alive till the blood clot dissolves naturally.
What is the most secretive place in the world, and why?
This question might surprise you. It might even make you uncomfortable because it challenges our perception of reality and how we live. However, there's a reason for this place to exist. It's not what we would expect.
The ancient Greeks called it the City of God. According to the Bible, it was called the City of Destruction.
It's also known as Kashi (Kashmir) in India. It's known in Russia as Novgorod.
But here in America, it goes by another name - The Town That Disappeared.
A small town in western New York State, with a population of 1,200, vanished without a trace. No bodies, cars, houses, nothing was left behind except a road sign pointing to its former location.
The little village vanished, with no trace of its existence. Some believe it was swallowed by the earth. Others claim a meteorite strike destroyed it. Some believe that it was taken by aliens.
Regardless of what happened, residents of this once-thriving town are certain that their town won't be forgotten forever. They just moved to another city.
A website is available to track the disappearance and recovery of Zugspitz, which was lost in the Great Depression.
Then, where is it? It's in Switzerland, actually!
The border of Austria and Germany is at Zugspitze. Lake Zugspitze lies just above the summit of the mountain.
It has always fascinated my that so many towns have disappeared but others still exist. Why is it that some disappear while others live on? I set out to find out.
I was interested in learning more about these mysterious towns that are disappearing. What causes a community to disappear? How can one place vanish from existence?
There are several theories behind the disappearing of towns. One theory is that a city disappears after all buildings have been demolished. Another theory states that the town simply moves to another location. The third theory is that the town was never actually there.
There are many theories, but the truth is that thousands of towns around the world have been submerged by the earth. This video examines both the history and current status.
How does the brain regulate the functions of the body?
To ensure that they work together, messages are sent by the brain to other organs. Your brain controls all that happens in your body. It tells your stomach to digest food and your lungs to breathe air; it tells your arms and legs to move.
Your brain is made up billions of nerve cell networks connected in groups known as neurons. Action potentials are electrical signals that neurons send to one another. Every neuron has a cell wall around its nucleus. The membrane contains channels that allow ions like sodium and potassium to enter the cell and leave it. The electric charge that causes the neuron's fire is created by ion movement.
When a neuron is activated, neurotransmitters release chemicals into the space between it and the next neuron. Neurotransmitters are able to bind to receptors in the second neuron. This opens ion channels that allow ions to flow in and out. This causes the second neuron to fire too.
Neurotransmitter releases occur when a presynaptic neurons receives an input from another neuron. An impulse travels along a synapse that connects the two neurons. The transmitter binds at the receptors of the post-synaptic Neuron and triggers its firing.
Communication within the nervous system is possible thanks to neurotransmitters. They coordinate activity between the different parts of your brain.
Is there an Hollywood blacklist?
There is a Hollywood blacklist.
But, the list has not been made public. As far as we are aware, the names are not even known. But, here's why it matters.
The reason behind the secrecy was that blacklisted directors and actors wouldn't be able find work. The studios would be out of business as they lose money. This would mean that they would cut back on movie production. This would result in fewer opportunities available for blacklisted filmmakers. This could lead to them going bankrupt.
This could lead to more victims.
When someone tries making an Oscar winning movie they might be asked for a contract. This means that they can't publicly criticize their employer. Any director or producer who would like to be nominated for an award is subject to the same rules.
It's no surprise that directors are often forced to take out scenes in their films by producers. Or directors threaten to walk out of projects that don’t match their vision.
This is why Hollywood keeps a blacklist. If you are negative about your employer, you'll most likely go unemployed. This is not good news for anyone.
The problem is that many people have been falsely accused. It's been a struggle to get their names cleared.
We need to stop this kind of thing before it starts happening again. Everybody should be able to freely express themselves.
So we need to take down the Hollywood blacklist.

Hollywood scandals that shocked all of the world
Nothing is more shocking than seeing someone famous for wrong reasons. But there's also nothing worse than seeing them fall from grace.
The best thing about watching how an industry reacts when it makes mistakes is the best part. We've all heard stories of celebrities who used drugs and alcohol excessively. Some even died young because of it.
The worst thing is when these stars are made public about their problems and shunned. We found ourselves in that situation last week.
After a long and successful career, Heath Ledger finally succumbed to his demons. He succumbed after taking too many prescription medications. After a brief struggle with death, he died.
His family and friends were unable to accept his death, and the media was quick to criticize him.
Heath was once considered one of the most talented actors working today. His performances in Brokeback Mountain earned Heath two Academy Award nominations.
Heath was not only an actor, but also directed and wrote films like A Knight's Tale and Monster's Ball.
Hollywood loved Heath. However, he quickly grew too large. He started taking drugs and drinking heavily. He ended up in rehab and became clean.
Now that he was sober, it was time to make amends. He made a documentary called "Room 237," that chronicled the making and release of The Shining. It was supposed to hit theaters this year. However, it won't until next year.
Heath tried unsuccessfully to get into Hollywood again, but nothing happened. Heath was in fact arrested twice on drug charges.
We are not suggesting that Heath should be allowed back into the show business. However, it would be nice if he could get some help before things spiral out of control.
We hope Heath's story warns others who might think they can still have it all.
