Who Is The Greater Wizard Between Harry Potter And Merlin?

when it comes to magic and spells the first two sorcerers I would give anything to see get into the ring are the ubiquitous Mr. Potter and the eponymous hero of the new BBC series,Merlin (i know my fellow magicians will agree to this). Who would win? That’s exactly what this article is determined to find out so I decided to do a little research on both characters(i'm kinda jobless)

In one corner, we have Harry Potter, the hero in JK Rowling’sHarry Potterseries and a child wizarding prodigy. The movie follow his journey to a young adult with his best friends Hermione Granger and Ron Weasly, mastering spell-casting and eventually leading to a confrontation with the dark wizard Voldemort, who is so powerful adult wizards dare not speak his name.

In the other corner, we have Merlin from the new BBC UK TV series, a re-imagination of the archetypal British myth. In the series we observe young Merlin who arrives fresh at Camelot only to discover he must protect young Prince Arthur while hiding his mystical nature because Arthur’s father has outlawed all magic in the kingdom! Introductions aside let’s see who would win in a duel between these magical prodigies: and Note Harry needs a wand, Merlin does not.

We Are More Likely To Lie In the Afternoon

Now a studyfinds that as a result we may be more likely to cheat or lie in the afternoon than in the morning. But only if we’re usually ethical to begin with.

Scientists showed volunteers patterns of dots on a computer and asked them to tell which side of the screen contained more dots, the right or left. Here's the kicker: the researchers gave the subjects a higher reward if they selected the right side, even if it was incorrect. And with this incentive, subjects were more likely to cheat in the afternoon than in the morning.

In another experiment the scientists showed the subjects fragments of words, and asked them to complete the word. For example, they might see the last three letters, R, A, L, of a five-letter word. And surprisingly in the morning the participants tended come up with the word "moral" whereas in the afternoon the word of choice was “coral.”

The researchers also found that people who tend to cheat regularly were just as likely to do so in the morning as in the afternoon. It was the more ethical folks who suffered lapses as the day wore on. So the early bird gets the worm…and the truth.

6 things you didn't know about turkeys

Thanksgiving means delicious dinners for us, but it's a dangerous day for turkeys. Here are a few things you didn't know about Benjamin Franklin's favorite bird. 1.What does the turkey say?Not all turkeys gobble. Female turkeys don't make the iconic sound at all. Instead they make small, chirp noises while male turkeys rely on gobbling noises to attract potential mates. 2.Turkeys have names?Male turkeys are called toms and female turkeys are call hens. Poults are baby turkeys, jakes are young males and jennies are young females.

Mammoths still walked the earth when the Great Pyramid was being built

Wrangel Island is an island in the Arctic Ocean, between the Chukchi Sea and East Siberian Sea.
Woolly mammoths survived there until 2500–2000 BC, the most recent survival of all known mammoth populations. Isolated from the mainland for 6000 years, about 500 to 1000 mammoths lived on the island at a time.

The Great Pyramid of Giza (also known as the Pyramid of Khufu or the Pyramid of Cheops) is the oldest and largest of the three pyramids in the Giza Necropolis bordering what is now El Giza, Egypt.
It is the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and the only one to remain largely intact.

Egyptologists believe that the pyramid was built as a tomb for fourth dynasty Egyptian Pharaoh Khufu (Cheops in Greek) over a 10 to 20-year period concluding around 2560 BCE.
