These people are moving pollen from flower to flower with a paintbrush. Now this business of hand pollination is actually not that uncommon.

 The brain makes its best guess about what is and what is not part of its body. And there's a beautiful experiment in neuroscience to illustrate this. And unlike most neuroscience experiments, this is one you can do at home. All you need is one of these. And a couple of paintbrushes.
