Ahh.. psych experiments in the days before ethics.. There were some really fun ones, especially in social psychology.

i haven't yet read Lord of the Flies.. is that bad?


Don Taylor (social psych prof) told us about .. was it the Vietnamese war? .. where they had these prisoners and they managed to brainwash them: they starved them, and then for every time they told on another soldier, the tattletale would get an egg. pretty soon, everyone was just turning on one another..

i love psych :)

eeesh.

I haven't read Lord of the Flies since about Grade 10. It freaked me out. Excellent book as I recall. Would be interested in seeing a similar thing with girls.

Unfortunately, no! Plans to sit on a terrasse and drink beer with my friend Marie.. and tell her about the boy who came and went..

Perhaps next Tuesday? I really do want to see it again.

And does it matter? I thought Paramount was the same price all the time...

Are Tuesdays cheaper at cinema du parc? Because maybe we can reserve next Tuesday to see Eternal Sunshine?
