Science is amazing, but it can involve doing some pretty weird stuff. Just in time for Halloween, here are seven science experiments that are creepy, scary, or just plain gross!
1. Scientist lets insect live inside her

Science proves brain washing works or Dick's really a lovable guy after all
Don't look it up. The pictures will haunt you forever.
Dedication to science, or else a really perverted mind
Yikes. I had to look.
Guess I’m staying up a while
Told everybody not to look.
Unfortunately, it’s not a real story. But a pretty good one, nonetheless. They should do a movie about it.
The Russian sleep deprivation experiment is an urban legend that never happened. Here is a genuine article on sleep deprivation. Pretty interesting stuff. Nobody knows why we have to sleep. They just know if you don't you will die.

Sleep is so important to brain regeneration. Did you know that when you sleep your brain processes all you have done during the day and then goes through it all again backwards? Filtering out what should be saved? What an incredible creation is this biological wonder. No one in their right mind could possible accept this as a product of chance. Maybe if you were sleep deprived.
#3. Pinpointing fear. I wonder if there are 2 kinds of fear. One being learned and able to be overcome thru facing it, and the other being a fear of death because of biological or natural causes. Not breathing is the fastest way to go, no? The body/brain should be able to decipher between the two.
Long before I came into this world, my grandfather rescued and adopted a wounded crow. By all accounts (supported by some old 8mm home movies) the critter was as smart, well trained and loyal as any pet dog, and still remains something of a legend in the small PA coal town where he lived.
Fear has been solved. All you have to do is locate the “Tingler” and it’s in your spine if I recall.
In the paper we prove that through positive and negative reinforcement techniques we can increase human preference to look like Dick Cheney.
America, The Greatest Country on Earth, lets an incompetent, foreign would-be communist dictator sit in the white hut for eight LONG years! (Political SCIENCE)
The young mouse old mouse experiment needs better explanation.
Instead of just a blood transfusion, the old mouse got the benefits of the young mouse’s immune system, liver, kidneys, stem cells, hormones, and more.
However, what the older mouse didn’t get were the things outside of the bloodstream, including digestive chemicals such as stomach acid and bile, the lymphatic system, “deposits” such as atherosclerosis, stones, plaques, and most especially the younger mouse’s microbiome, or intestinal flora, including viruses, bacteria, yeasts and fungus, protozoa, and parasites.
The original (expanded) article in the same magazine re the mice experiment. Looks like you may have already looked at it from the points you made
thx
