Well once my (half-)cousin burnt an oven mitt

Psychology tricks:

1) If you’re looking for something in the room that the other person has hidden, just shout that you found it. They’ll normally look directly at the object.
2) Saying “I always pick rock” before a game of rock, paper, scissors, then actually playing rock makes you most of the time.
3) If you want someone to like you more, ask them for a very small favor (e.g. “May I use your pen?”). They will usually comply to avoid seeming like a jerk. This will create cognitive dissonance: if they don’t like you, why are they helping you? They will begin to feel more friendly toward you.
4) If you want to get away with something and usually don’t want to be seen, don’t look at who you don’t want to be seen by at all. Eye contact with any human at all always makes them aware someone is looking at them.
5) If you want someone to leave, get up and go to the door. Most people will just fallow.

Thanks!!! I'm gonna use these to troll my friends and family for scientific purposes.

I study this
Also

• If you don't want to be recognized, don't look in the direction of the person likely to know you. If you had eye contact they will recognize you
• If you want someone to do something tell them not to do it and say that a couple of times and they will do it
• If you are doing something dodgy, act like you are supposed to be doing it, people will make up excuses for why you can
• Sometimes, the best place to hide something is the most obvious place. If your opponent is smart they won't look there

• Probably said this already, but it's good advice: When you find something you've lost, don't put it back where you found it, put it where you first looked.

We obviously both study human behavior patterns

Me? No, I just read the National Geographic Kid's Almanacs obsessively despite being above the target age group

I was actually studying humans…

Also here's a wiki page for criminal psychology:

But…
It's Wikipedia

I know, but it's a good amount of details (That may or may not be correct) that I can't explain because I don't study psychology.

My friend tried to edit a Wiki page for Lincoln I believe to say some weird crap he made up on the fly but it was blocked by our school :(

Once one of my friends did something similar
She wrote a bunch of crap about dragons on a page about a plant I think

That would honestly be funny (to people that don't need the help) and annoying (to people that do).

I think she got rid of it later
Or maybe not

The 'Dragonaloesunflower', scientific name draco burrn seeds is a plantosaur.

OK….

Behold the Rosy Maple Moth!!

I WANT IT!!!!!!!!!

It's beautiful…

Oh it's beautiful….

Yes…

Blunt force trauma to the torso can cause internal bleeding. And a bullet can cause it even when wearing a bullet proof vest.

Wearing a bulletproof vest and getting shot could cause bad bruising

Jimsonweed/Datura stramonium

Info about plant-

Datura stramonium, known by the English names jimsonweed or devil's snare, is a plant in the nightshade family. It is believed to have originated in Mexico, but has now become naturalized in many other regions. Other common names for D. stramonium include thornapple and moon flower, and it has the Spanish name toloache. Other names for the plant include hell's bells, devil's trumpet, devil's weed, tolguacha, Jamestown weed, stinkweed, locoweed, pricklyburr, false castor oil plant, devil's cucumber, and thornapple.
Datura has been used in traditional medicine to relieve asthma symptoms and as an analgesic during surgery or bonesetting. It is also a powerful hallucinogen and deliriant, which is used entheogenically for the intense visions it produces. However, the tropane alkaloids responsible for both the medicinal and hallucinogenic properties are fatally toxic in only slightly higher amounts than the medicinal dosage, and careless use often results in hospitalizations and deaths.

Toxicity
All parts of Datura plants contain dangerous levels of the tropane alkaloids atropine, hyoscyamine, and scopolamine, which are classified as deliriants, or anticholinergics. The risk of fatal overdose is high among uninformed users, and many hospitalizations occur amongst recreational users who ingest the plant for its psychoactive effects.

The amount of toxins varies widely from plant to plant.
Datura intoxication typically produces delirium (as contrasted to hallucination), hyperthermia, tachycardia, bizarre behavior, and severe mydriasis with resultant painful photophobia that can last several days. Pronounced amnesia is another commonly reported effect. The onset of symptoms generally occurs around 30 to 60 minutes after ingesting the herb. These symptoms generally last from 24 to 48 hours, but have been reported in some cases to last as long as two weeks.

Better list of Symptoms-
Hot skin
Dry skin
Flushed skin
Dilated pupils
Headache
Coma
Reduced bowel sounds
Disorientation
Dizziness
High blood pressure
Reduced gastrointestinal motility
Nausea
Vomiting
Seizures
Rapid heart rate
Urinary retention
Visual hallucinations

As with other cases of anticholinergic poisoning, intravenous physostigmine can be administered in severe cases as an antidote.
