An Indian man rented out an entire cinema to disprove a director’s claim that his new horror movie is so scary no one can watch it alone, a newspaper said last week.
Pavin Ponanna, 30, booked all 227 seats at a Bangalore cinema for an evening showing of Phoonk, Indian newspaper the Pioneer Daily reported.
He asked cinema staff to have a doctor on call, but came out saying: “I never felt scared, not even for a moment. I took just ten minutes to settle down.”

Director Ram Gopal Verma had challenged any fan to watch Phoonk — the story of a happy family suddenly attacked by the evil forces of black magic — on their own.
Ponanna, an advertising professional, visited a temple to prepare for the experience, the newspaper said, adding that the tickets had cost him 47,000 rupees (NT$34,000).

上週有報導指出，印度一名男子為了駁斥某導演聲稱他的新電影恐怖到沒人敢獨自觀賞的說法，竟包下了一整間電影院。
《先鋒日報》報導，三十歲的帕文．波那那包下班加羅爾一間電影院某晚場共兩百二十七個席次，就為了觀賞《Phoonk》一片。
他請電影院員工請來一位醫師待命，結果他看完後卻說：「我一點害怕的感覺也沒有，完全沒有。我只花了十分鐘就平靜下來。」
該片導演拉姆．戈帕爾．維馬曾揚言絕對沒有影迷敢獨自觀看《Phoonk》；該片劇情描述一個快樂的家庭意外遭受妖術的邪惡力量攻擊。
報導指出，波那那任職於廣告業，他看這部影片前還先到廟裡去參拜，結果包場的電影票共花了他四萬七千印度盧比（新台幣三萬四千元）。

An appendectomy is typically performed when the appendix, a small pouch next to the intestines, becomes inflamed or infected, leading to severe pain and potential complications if left untreated. Fortunately, the procedure is very safe today, and patients can go on to live normal lives without their appendix. Yet, it still begs the question of how humans can continue living without an organ. The human body is full of various parts that scientists still don’t completely understand, and
Wisdom teeth are another example of vestigial organs. Why do humans have wisdom teeth? One theory suggests that they were originally intended to help support muscles and tissues in the human face. Another theory indicates that they were initially meant to aid our ancestors in chewing certain tough foods that grew in the wild. As our diets have softened with processed foods, these teeth may become less necessary. Removing one’s wisdom teeth can feel like a rite of passage for many young adults. At some point in their late teens to early twenties, most people will have up to
Despite being thoroughly prepared for the coming exam, Sarah couldn’t stop herself from thinking about what could go wrong on test day. So, she kept studying her textbooks again and again. Do you often find yourself caught in this same type of loop, endlessly thinking about scenarios? If so, you’re likely struggling with a common challenge: overthinking. Overthinking is a phenomenon in which individuals become trapped in a tangle of worries, continuously replaying past events in their mind or feeling uneasy about what the future holds. It’s like being stuck in a never-ending loop of negative thoughts that can prove challenging
