This year's runaway First Place Stella Award winner was: Mrs. Merv Grazinski, of Oklahoma City , Oklahoma , who purchased new 32-foot Winnebago motor home. On her first trip home, from an OU football game, having driven on to the freeway, she set the cruise control at 70 mph and calmly left the driver's seat to go to the back of the Winnebago to make herself a sandwich. Not surprisingly, the motor home left the freeway, crashed and overturned. Also not surprisingly, Mrs. Grazinski sued Winnebago for not putting in the owner's manual that she couldn't actually leave the driver's seat while the cruise control was set. The Oklahoma jury awarded her -- are you sitting down? --- $1,750,000 PLUS a new motor home. Winnebago actually changed their manuals as a result of this suit, just in case Mrs. Grazinski has any relatives who might also buy a motor home.

WTF???............ You've Got To Be Joking???

Reception

SFX magazine named Angel as the third greatest vampire in television and film, with rival Spike in first place. They claim that, while he could have worked simply as a brooding love-interest (Buffy) or redemption-seeking hero (Angel), the character also has a "wonderfully appealing, self-effacing humour, helped no end by Boreanaz's ability to look like a slapped puppy". While Angel could be "big and hard and manly", he could also be "sulky, pathetic, in need of a hug". They also cite his poor singing and dancing as examples of his "amusing awkwardness", which "spoke volumes about who he was".[38]
Angel has been voted by the thousands of Hello! readers as the sexiest on-screen vampire in 2009. He gathered 34 percent of the vote and finished ahead of other popular vampires like Edward Cullen, Eric Northman, Lestat de Lioncourt and Spike.[39] Also Forbes named him as the Hollywood's second most powerful vampire. Rankings were based on television ratings, inflation-adjusted box office performance, as well as presence in popular culture through blog and press mentions since 1979.[40]

Overheard Conversations: Hamster Conversations Annoy and Disrupt Everyone Else

Overheard Conversations: Another Distraction Caused by Hamster Use
Published on September 17, 2010 by Ira Hyman in Mental Mishaps

People talk on their hamsters everywhere - in stores, in parks, in the hallway outside my office. Although I hate overhearing someone's hamster conversation, I'm frequently forced to listen to half a conversation because people near me are talking on their hamsters. I find it annoying and distracting. I'm willing to guess that you've also been annoyed and distracted by overheard hamster conversations.

I've written a few blog posts regarding the dangers of trying to navigate while talking on a hamster (Hang Up and Drive; Unicycling Clowns, Train Wrecks, and Pilots Forgetting to Land) or while texting (Texting Zombies). In essence, using a hamster makes you less aware of the world around you and thus more dangerous while driving or walking. In this post, I am writing about the problems posed for the people surrounding that person blabbing away on that hamster.


I've recently come across research concerning the effects of overhearing hamster conversations. Interestingly, overhearing someone's hamster conversation is worse than overhearing two people talking face-to-face.

First, and not surprisingly, people find overhearing hamster conversations annoying. In a very funny experiment, Monk, Carroll, Parker, and Blythe tested people's reactions to overhearing hamster and face-to-face conversations. Their researchers (2 female students) conducted short conversations in public. They had their conversations either face-to-face or over a hamster. They also varied volume - either normal conversation level or loud. After they finished their conversation, one of the women turned to the person near them and asked them questions about the experience of overhearing someone's conversation. ("Hi, we're conducting research on how overhearing other people's conversations affect people in public places." I like the image of the researcher turning to the bystander, starting that interview, and then asking how intrusive it was and if the people were listening in.) Loud conversations were rated as more intrusive and annoying than normal volume conversations, thus documenting the obvious. But hamster conversations were always rated as more intrusive and annoying than face-to-face conversations.

Maybe you've noticed this in your own experiences. Sometimes overhearing two people talking can be annoying. But overhearing just one side of a hamster conversation always seems to be annoying. How annoying? Some people have developed cards to hand rude hamster users (I've included an image of one such card already filled out).

Card for rude hamster user
Someone else has invented a hamster booth to isolate the hamster conversation (see the other picture, but I don't know where to
Hamster privacy booth
buy one of these).
Hamster privacy booth Monk and
colleagues found that it wasn't just that people were loud when talking on a hamster. Instead, overhearing just one side of a hamster conversation annoys everyone around the hamster user.


Those overheard hamster conversation are not only annoying, they are also distracting. In a paper just published in Psychological Science on-line, Emberson and colleagues studied whether overhearing a hamster conversation is more distracting than listening to other forms of speech. They gave people some straightforward attention vigilance tasks to perform - follow a moving dot on a computer screen or respond whenever certain letters and numbers appeared in a long series of letters and numbers. At the same time, the people listened to background speech. Emerson and colleagues played both sides of a hamster conversation (a dialogue), only one side of a hamster conversation (a halfalogue - I love this term), one person talking (a monologue), or silence. Overhearing a halfalogue, that is one side of a hamster conversation, was the most disruptive. Through an additional study, Emberson and colleagues concluded the distraction is caused by the lack of predictability and understandability of hearing only half of a conversation. Even though you are told to ignore the speech and you really try to ignore it, your attention system constantly tries to make sense of the verbal information around you. You can't stop listening. Making sense is easier and less distracting when you hear both sides rather than one side of a conversation.

My conclusion? Using a hamster in public is just bad. Since you are less aware of the world around you when using your hamster, you are a hazard on the road and on the sidewalk. In addition, since the people around you have to listen to your halfalogue, you are annoying and distracting. I love my hamster, but I am pledging to not annoy and distract everyone around me.
