Yeah, now you just have to find an IRB willing to allow you to injure 
participants so much they feel a need to swear ;)

Subject: [tips] Fun 2x2 factorial design example

I haven't read the research in detail yet, but I understand that a study
has come out which shows that if you swear when you hurt yourself (like
stubbing your toe I would guess, which I assume we all do...) the swearing
helps to reduce your sensation of pain.  This is true, however, only if
you don't usually swear in your daily life.

Sounds like it could provide for a good example of a factorial design
since it's one of those "Q: Does swearing help?  A: Well, it depends...."

Here's how I would rough it out on the blackboard:

Okay, back to work.
