Another quick one to tide you folks over.

Recently, researchers at Oxford University announced the discovery of a powerful new painkiller: Inverted Binoculars.

According to the researchers, this demonstrates that even basic bodily sensations such as pain are modulated by what we see.

So next time you stub your toe or cut your finger, do yourself a favour: look away!

Stay tuned! Some big How To's coming up soon!
