TRUST ME, I’M A SCIENTIST

ITEM [via BoingBoing]: Scientists from Zurich University have found that people who inhale Oxytocin continue to trust strangers with their money - even after they’re betrayed.

They’re looking at using Oxytocin as a cure for people with social phobias. Imagine the fun that marketing people, the CIA and Karl Rove could have with it.

Maybe they already have. It’d explain how Bush got re-elected, Jim.

I have to admit I read that as Oxycontin first, which would be a whole different story.

Anyway, who needs hanging chads, when you got this stuff.
