That should read *used to be* bitterly cold. That's not been the case

That is amazing. It makes me realize that the paper work required at my

I suspect she got a male friend to make the call. The university was

I wouldn't be surprised. Students here can only register for full classes with
an instructor's signature. I already have a few extra students in my intro

So interesting relative to folks who participate various threads as the
participants are often skewed to males or females. Not one woman seems
interested in the temperature of a Guinness. But you guys find it totally
fascinating. Just btw, I love Heineken but cold.

Hmmm... the only person I know who prefers Guinness warm is one of my female

To Joan, yes, it was worth reading.

If you didn't see Primetime last night, you're going to wish you had.
They actually did a *replication* of the Milgram obedience experiment.
They used a social psychologist from U. Santa Clara (Berger?) as a

For what it's worth, I've never had my credentials checked! Especially at
conferences it would be very easy to pick up the books by pretending to be a
professor.
In fact, a couple of years ago I took a Spanish class and asked the publisher's
rep to send me a desk copy of the text for that
Hi
In the original Milgram experiments model of refusal markedly increased
quitting in the actual subjects. Less than 10% continued to end? So something
