Reverse Pin Number
If you’ve seen a meme on the web that says if you enter your ATM PIN backwards you’ll notify the police you need help immediately, it’s unfortunately not true. Now if it were true it would be very useful, especially if someone was threatening your life, but currently this won’t do anything but make the person who is forcing you to get them money angry. If you want my opinion, it’s best not to make a desperate person even more upset.
By the way, systems like this have been recommended and brought before law making committees, but it’s up to the bank to implement this safety code. As far as we know there isn’t a bank out there who has decided on a safety measure like this. It’s best to just hand over the cash instead of putting your life at risk.
A Chameleon Changes its Color to Blend in With its Surroundings
If you’ve ever come across a chameleon then you must think it’s pretty cool that they change their color to blend in with their surroundings. However, we’ve been told the wrong information about this cool lizard. The reality is it does not change its color to blend in with its surroundings, even though it sure does seem that way when you it. The colors change so that they can communicate how they’re feeling, sort of like a mood ring. Do you remember that 90’s ring that supposedly changed colors according to how we were feeling?
Anyway, a chameleon changes colors to communicate and specifically to signal aggression, mood, territory, and even mating behavior. It’s rather fascinating to think about a chameleon letting other chameleons and other animals in the animal kingdom know what’s going on by the simple changing of its color, but that’s just another incredible fact about this Old World lizard.
