Hello Erwin and all, Every so often a post comes along that gives me a good laugh.
Lets have our thought for the day; Get the facts first, you can distort them later. --Mark Twain-- w8w8 wrote: > > Hi "Dumb Guys", There is only one of me, the others are not on this list, they are out of town.

"double blind"--An experimental procedure in which neither the subjects nor the experimenters know the identity of the individuals in the test and control groups during the actual course of the experiments--compare to single blind.

Man alive, scared the s--t out of some young kids, that would get you booted out of the scout leadership real fast around here. If not jailed for child abuse. Scared ten kids so bad they were sick and throwing up. I don't see anything funny about it. I don't think you did this. You say it was 65 years ago, you must have been one of the poor kids that this was done to. Your still traumatized by it. (a psychological experiment) > It is called the > placebo effect. Placebo effect--improvement in the condition of a sick person that occurs in response to treatment but cannot be considered due to the specific treatment used.-- > > > Too bad, but unless enough beer flows again for these macho men, > we will never know if anyone would have gotten sick, or if cs really > worked, or they both would have gotten sick. All we have is an antidote > of two very foolish young men that fortunately worked out OK. We know what would have happened. Feel free to do it yourself, "walk the walk" before you talk. Would you desire to go into the jungle with us and do what we do. I have some excellent URLs of mangled and mutilated bodies, that you can have for squeamish training. Ha-Ha. Yes the Gov recruits us nuts to do the peoples dirty work. :-) Then they train us to be even nastier. > > > Of course there has to be a morel to this story.

Egocentric clams are shellfish. > Really fun posting, it got me awake. At first I was irritated by your post, but after awhile I began to see the humor in it. Wow, the spell checker says I only misspelled one word. And Erwin's name is spelled wrong.<grin>.
