ROFL!!!

> It's one of those past experiences that make me think about karma in a more worried way since it involved injecting a drug into their craniums and then training them to avoid an electric shock with a light cue. Bleah bleah bleah bleah bleah. I used to watch and root for them to swim. Swim!! Swim!!! Go toward the light!!!

LOL!!! Yeah I felt sorry for the chickens too... And the possums... And so forth. Don't get me started on the ethics of animal research ;-)

> Amazing the things one will do because they think it will help them get into grad school.
