  • The amount of grands they get is enough to understand how one might be inclined to continue/prolong the research project they are doing. On the other hand there is the sunk cost fallacy. They spend all this time and effort on a research subject basically staking their whole carriers on it being right or giving results and they can’t give up. I’m guessing most is doing it because of the sunk cost fallacy.






  • I know for a fact the name is Dombili. There is no such thing as tombili and I don’t know why the wiki page says Tombili is Turkish for fatty.

    There is Tombilik which is a small tuna fish and there is Tombik which is similar to Dombili but it’s used for cuter things. While Dombili is more like slang in way you would jokingly say fatty. To sum up there is no such thing as Tombili. I wish you all a great life.

    I had 2 red parrots over 30 years ago. I can’t remember the species name. They used to flex the metal bars of the cage when they were bored. I had to bought heavy-duty gloves to handle them even than one of them bite me on my left pinky with the gloves and pierced the glove and my finger. Of I haven’t got the gloves on I’m pretty sure it would have ripped my finger off or caused severe injury.










  • Sorry for the late response. In real world it’s part of a Sufi Muslim belief where you take on something impossible or almost impossible to show how feeble and useless the real world. As far as I know almost all the tortoise trainers are part of such Sufi branches and believers. They did this as part of their beliefs. It’s almost impossible to teach anything to a tortoise in real life. If you search about the painting you’ll see that painter had 2 versions of this and later one had 6 tortoises showing that instead of solving his issues or problems or trials he add more on. Also the painter Osman Hamdi Bey was part of Sufi Muslim believer. It’s said that he painted himself as the tortoise trainer. I hope this cleared somethings.
