i hope that when i die, it doesn't look like this

According to the New Scientist, German researchers have proven that if people are lost, like really lost, in the middle of a desert for example, with neither sun nor landmarks as reference points, they will naturally walk in circles. Even if there’s a little voice (or a little German researcher) inside their head instructing them to do their best to walk in a straight line.


It’s kind of a nice idea that we come with a built-in mechanism that makes us go back to where we came from.
