McSweeney's Internet Tendency: An Open Letter to the Eight-Hour Workday.

Little Miss Messycovers pointed me over to McSweeney's for the Open Letter to Dick Cheney (read it too, it's good...)

but I found this one particularly poignant...

McSweeney's Internet Tendency: An Open Letter to the Eight-Hour Workday.:

"I have decided that, with the amount of people in this country working eight hours a day, this society should be much farther ahead that it is. We should have flying cars that are fueled by used cooking oil from McDonald's. We should have a creative and well-funded education system. We should have universal health care."

The Chronicle: 11/4/2005: Harvard Researcher Probes the Minds of Alien Abductees

vi bookslut -

The Chronicle: 11/4/2005: Harvard Researcher Probes the Minds of Alien Abductees:
"Fifteen of those interviewed agreed to take part in lab experiments such as the Deese/Roediger-McDermott, or DRM, paradigm, in which they studied lists of words (e.g., 'sugar,' 'candy,' etc.) all related to another word (e.g., 'sweet') that did not actually appear on the list. They were then asked to recall which words they'd really seen. The abductees were statistically more likely than other groups to believe they had seen the absent words, according to Ms. Clancy. 'I didn't try to change the world with one experiment. ... All I concluded from the study was the alien abductees were more prone in the lab to create a certain type of false memory.' She also found that in tests that measured physical reactions such as heart rate and sweating, the abductees 'reacted similarly to real trauma victims' when reliving their experiences."
