A few days ago I mentioned on TIPS a tongue-in-cheek post I had written on my site in which I pretended to report Skinner’s “pigeons playing ping pong” study using a modern day hyperbolic headline style:
He Taught a Pigeon to Peck a Ping Pong Ball. What Happened Next Will Shock You: http://www.thepsychfiles.com/2015/05/he-taught-a-pigeon-to-peck-a-ping-pong-ball-what-happened-next-will-shock-you/ <http://www.thepsychfiles.com/2015/05/he-taught-a-pigeon-to-peck-a-ping-pong-ball-what-happened-next-will-shock-you/> Well, sure enough, a real world example popped up in the news today (though not quite as hyperbolic as my example…): “Police in India arrested a pigeon suspected of spying for Pakistan" http://bgr.com/2015/05/29/pigeon-arrest-spy-charges-india/ <http://bgr.com/2015/05/29/pigeon-arrest-spy-charges-india/> Michael Michael A.
