As the voltage increased, the puppy first barked, then jumped up and down, and finally started howling with pain. The volunteers were horrified. They paced back and forth, hyperventilated, and gestured with their hands to show the puppy where to stand. Many openly wept. Yet the majority of them, twenty out of twenty-six, kept pushing the shock button right up to the maximum voltage.

Intriguingly, the six students who refused to go on were all men. All thirteen women who participated in the experiment obeyed right up until the end.

Interesting.

I’m in favor of summary execution of psychologists who are arrogant enough to use uninformed people walking across campus as experimental subjects. Hey, sorry, Doc - the experiment requires it.

[Calvin Locke]

Punchline: "...but somebody put blanks in the gun and I had to strangle the b****."

To Milgram's surprise, even though volunteers could plainly hear the agonized cries of the learner echoing through the walls of the lab from the neighboring room, two-thirds of them continued to press the shock button all the way up to the end of scale, 450 volts, by which time the learner had fallen into an eerie silence, apparently dead. Milgram's subjects sweated and shook, and some laughed hysterically, but they kept pressing the button.

And that's how death camps can operate in nominally civilized countries like Germany. We all need to beware our inner sheep.

And surprisingly, the male turkey still showed great interest. In fact, it preferred a head on a stick over a headless body""

For some reason this sentence immediately brought to mind something I once read or heard way back when, probably the 60's or 70's.

When asked what best describes the that which best describes the essence of a woman, the world class sexist/stud opined. "A woman is a pussy surrounded by a life support system"

Now mind you, I do not necessarily share this belief but rather pass it along in the interest of the readers edification and enlightenment.

Aldini hooked one wire to the ear and plunged the other up the rectum. Forster's corpse broke into a hideous dance.

The Macarana?

PS - 'plunged' and 'rectum' should never appear in the same sentence. ever.
