Hi "Dumb Guys",
I have been thinking about your experiment and wish you had run it
a little differently. What I think you should have done (Isnt 20 20
hindsight wonderful) was to give the two samples to a third party who
had no idea which was which and have him select the victim. This is
called a double blind test. Nobody knows nothing. Then lets see who
gets sick!
I remember when I was at Boy Scout Camp some 65 years ago, and we
did just that same experiment, (almost). We just TOLD them that the
meats were tainted. We also gave each a pill that would keep one group
from getting sick. Both groups got the same meat that we fed the whole
camp that evening and all got a sugar pill. There were two groups of 5
scouts. Seven people got sick and two even threw up. It is called the
placebo effect.
Too bad, but unless enough beer flows again for these macho men,
we will never know if anyone would have gotten sick, or if cs really
worked, or they both would have gotten sick. All we have is an antidote
of two very foolish young men that fortunately worked out OK.
Of course there has to be a morel to this story. It is: Dont
drink too much beer when there is stinking meat around. Stinking cheese
is better.
