Ants... In... Space

Ant writes "The Fowler students picked an experiment with ants, rather than plants, because they wanted to see some activity in space. They have been following the ants' progress on the web. The students and their teachers also have learned that sometimes the best thought-out hypothesis does not pan out in reality. 'We predicted that the ants would tunnel a lot slower in microgravity, but we're finding out they're moving a lot faster,' said Golash. The students have a control group of ants at their school, living in a similar environment except with gravity. After the shuttle returns from its scheduled 16-day flight in early February, the young scientists will have 30 days to put together a preliminary report. Their "Ants in Space" experiment was sponsored by SPACEHAB, an aerospace company that has worked with NASA for many years to design and build hardware for space experiments."

Look at all the people who said the same thing. If television can determine what you say, is it too far a stretch that it might also impact how you think?

Isn't that kind of like being brainwashed? Naw, couldn't happen to you because your mind is a fortress.

You are vulnerable to suggestion and are letting your mind be played like a tin whistle. They've made you dance like some sort of cheap puppet before everyone here on slashdot.
