But what wags are scientists? In that of London, an author has become a bit 'the nasty business of some scholars and managed to get to write a book about the silliest experiments of all time, from the site of courier , here's the top ten, and I quote and comment :
"10 - What is the sexual behavior of male turkeys ? This question sought to answer Martin Schein and Edgar Hale of Pennsylvania University in the Sixties, when they discovered that these animals are not so difficult to please.
Conclusion: to excite just a piece of wood, with the features of a turkey Female. "
Conclusion 2: adolesenti between turkeys and there's so much difference.
" 9 - In the thirties the UC Berkeley Professor Robert Cornish tried to revive some dead dogs, nicknamed Lazarus, making them go up and down on a swing, while injecting them with a mixture of adrenaline and anti-coagulants.
Conclusion: Some of the fox terrier returned to life and, although blind and with brain damage , resisted for a few months. "
who would not like to see their resurrected dead dog in the middle of the night wakes you up with those white eyes without pupils, barking like crazy for its well-known psychological problems that might involve his passion for human flesh? worry, you have time for a few months affezionarvicisi.
"8 - Convinced that yellow fever was not contagious, Dr. Stubbins Ffirth decided to show it on your skin, drinking vomiting of yellow fever patients and rubbing it on open wounds.
Conclusion : The doctor became ill, but not because the disease is not contagious, but because it turned out that yellow fever is transmitted by a mosquito. "
And do not tell you what he did for fever brown. But pity that the disease is not transmitted through vomiting. heard the news of the sick yellow fever has started to vomit in the face of all people around you, without guilt.
"7 - Disgust has no single face. He has demonstrated the experiment in 1924 by Professor Carney Landis of the University of Minnesota: the scientist asked a group of volunteers to smell ammonia, listen to jazz , view photos of porn and put their hands in a bucket full of frogs.
Conclusion: can not find a single expression common to all to show the disgust felt. "
This I did not understand, someone explain me what is horrible smell of ammonia and put your hand in a bucket of frogs? "I figured if I had had before me a patient suffering from yellow fever ...
" 6 - Some people can sleep in any situation. The proof came from the scientist at the University of Edinburgh, Ian Oswald, who in 1960 took three volunteers, keeping their eyes open with duct tape, submitted them to all sorts of potential disturbance: sudden bursts, electric shocks and loud music. Conclusion: All three fell asleep within 12 minutes. "
No. died, idiot.
" 5 - Learn while you sleep is possible. He felt the American psychologist Lawrence LeShan in 1942, when it is locked in a room with a group of boys asleep. All the kids bite their nails and the scientist took care of their tic repeating like a mantra "My nails are terribly bitter." At the end of the experiment, 40% had lost the habit. Conclusion: you can learn asleep. "

Conclusion: you can learn asleep. "
My dear Lawrence, you do not flared for your immense head that 40% of the subjects may have lost the habit simply because they had run out of nails?
4 - Forbidding someone to laugh when you tickle it's impossible. The experienced psychologist Clarence Yeuba on children and wife in the thirties, but with little success . Conclusion: Laughter is an instinctive response to tickling.
But here we have a professional: tickling experiments already do, and I could stop here, but do not. Who will make them? on your wife and your children .. maximum impartiality, I think. Plus what have you got? a "limited success" ... All this to conclude that laughter is an instinctive response to tickling. If he did it to me the experiment, he concluded that the instinctive response to tickling is a kick in the mouth. With excellent results.
"3 - Life expectancy of dogs with two heads, created by Soviet surgeon Demikhov does not exceed the month.
Conclusion: Tissue rejection makes animals are incompatible."
Too bad, there would have been of great help to dispose of the file controls the airports.
"2 - To say passengers a plane about to die makes them commit many more errors in a written test.
Conclusion: situations of extreme stress damage the human cognitive abilities. "
think that these strange beings.
And finally, The Number One gem:
"1 - Give a massive dose of LSD to an elephant to see if it leads to madness. The elephant died.
Conclusion: LSD is fatal to elephants. "
For me, the scientist as a child he saw an elephant stealing his snack boyfriend, and from there made it a personal issue ...
I was just wondering "how much can live a dog with two heads?". Luckily there is the science that responds to our dilemmas.
What can I say? Knowing that there are scientists who study the reaction of animals to synthetic drugs, or the fact that when someone sneezes, 50% say "etciù" 35% "etcì" and the remaining 15% said "etciùcciamelo" I think that makes much pleasure to people with AIDS, cancer, ALS and many other diseases, whose only hope is to find someone who can put an end to their disease. For this I thank you, dear scientists sui generis. There is still need you in the scientific world, so when we need information as part of Open Studio.
At this point I prefer physical scientists such as these:
