Chewbacca Mom Meets Chewbacca Actor

Candace Payne, the woman who became famous on the internet for her unboxing video of a Chewbacca mask, has become a celebrity. She's done well for herself, appearing on TV and getting a lot of money--about $420,000.

But perhaps best of all (as a Star Wars fan), she recently got the chance to meet Peter Mayhew, the actor who played Chewbacca on Star Wars.

She's on minute 18 of her 15 minutes. So sick of her already.

Ha, you know what, I work at Carleton University (as a biologist and graduate student) in a lab that works with caterpillars and butterflies... we just had a huge discussion on this research this week, and now I see it here on neatorama! Interestingly, the memories are only preserved if they are encoded at a certain age (5th instar). Memories encoded too early will not persist after metamorphosis. It's interesting that the memories can persist because so much of the caterpillar's body (including the brain and nervous system) is drastically reorganized as it turns into a butterfly or moth... Anyway, it's pretty neat...
Yay for neatorama!!
