The Stiche Corner - Sort of like a Norman Rockwell painting, if Rockwell had been influenced by hookers and cock fighting.

Today I thought of this blog in psych class.

We were learning about the physiological effects of strong emotional arousal. People were wired up with electrodes to measure their arousal (heart rate, sweat, etc.). Some watched an anger-inducing documentary, some watched a scary movie, some watched a porno, and others watched a boring movie. The physiological measurements of the scary movie, the anger movie, and the porno were virtually indistinguishable.

SO, of course the discussion turned to the porno, and how the results could have been inaccurate. Some kid raises his hand and asks "Were they all guys?"

And my teacher says "In the study, or in the porno?"

And 300 bitter, jaded college students laughed and applauded.

For Vanities sake
