The placebo effect is so strange and mysterious, how can fake pills trick ourselves into feeling better? This video explains all the interesting properties of a placebo, like how one placebo can be half as effective as aspirin while another placebo can be half as effective as morphine. Watch it.

Being one of those that are daily dependant on some very powerful opium based pain meds, I really wish that this effect would work for me,… or does it they already ? :) Makes me wonder if anyone has documented all the other incredible things that big wet computer can do? #]

lol this is a bug not a feature, even if there are beneficial exploits out there.
