There is a social phenomena that I believe has been unjustly ignored by psychologists -- it is the Idiotarod. For those who are not familiar with the Idiotarod, some background can be obtained from the following Wikipedia entry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idiotarod As made clear in the entry, the Idiotarod takes place across the U.S. and Canada. Here is a news piece on the Idiotarod held in St. Louis in 2013: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LuSghVn91yg
NYC Tipsters and psychologists are really lucky because the NYC version of the Idiotarod will be held TOMORROW (01/25/2014). It might be too late to get a team together (but some psychologists are really, really good at throwing together a bunch of people to do some really, really ridiculous things; the deadline to register a team was yesterday, Thursday but we all know how good psychologists are at persuasion and getting their way ;-) but one can always be an observer/spectator. The official website for the NYC Idiotarod can be accessed here: http://www.idiotarodnyc.com/ Time Out New York has more info than the above website; see: http://www.timeout.com/newyork/things-to-do/idiotarod?cmpid=NY+Fri+012414 Who knows, maybe you'll get a picture of yourself in a classy place like National Geographic; see: http://travel.nationalgeographic.com/travel/american-festivals/idiotarod-photos/ Searching the YouTube for Idiotarod videos should prove to be quite rewarding (depending upon your sense of humor) as well as suggesting good/useful/fun strategies for sabotaging other participants in the Idiotarod! ;-) -Mike Palij New York University m...@nyu.edu --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: arch...@jab.org.
