It works on fish too--possibly other animals. It only works when they're fresh and the muscle cells are still alive. It has something to do with the salt activating the sodium channels and ATP in the cell. It's been a while since I took biology, maybe a bio major can give a better description?

    Incompetent people think they're smart because of the Dunning-Kruger effect. On the other side, intelligent people tend to underestimate their own intelligence (Downing effect).

    hmm i guess that would make sense, i took biology more recently and that sounds about right... but if that's the case, that would mean it works on any animal, interesting to look into :), i'll look it up

    Bzzt.
    I know I'm smarter than you. I think I'm smarter than most people. I know I'm not smarter than everyone.

    Not everyone has an inaccurate sense of their own intelligence.

    I really wasn't expecting backup when I saw your post xD
    I think you'd better insult me again to restore the balance.

    Thanks, though ^_^

    So? They probably ARE smarter than me. There's a lot in this world I do not understand. *sigh*

    Hey. You know, according to studies, women are likely to underestimate their IQ. Apparently, it's called the Downing effect, and I heard about it on the internets.  :thumbsup:

    The roar that we hear when we place a seashell next to our ear is not the ocean, but rather the sound of blood surging through the veins in the ear.

    this one baffled me when i was younger :) thanks interwebz :D

    No. Its called the Boobs-Effect. They always overestimate their own IQ, and it gets bigger the larger their female balloons are...

    You can still drown long after you've gotten out of the water.

    Cleopatra (69-30 BC) lived closer in time to the moon landing (1969 AD) than to the Great Pyramid (2560 BC)

    This is an amazing video of the current 3D map of the known universe. We are so incredibly insignificant.

    John Tyler, the 10th president of the United States from 1841-1845, has two grandsons that are still alive.

    There are many things I don't understand, too.

    Like where brown comes from.
    Or the precise nature of dark matter.

    Or why iargue doesn't like to back up his insults when confronted. No, actually, I think that's just because he's a coward.

    Why start something you can't continue? If you want to insult me, at least make sure it's something you can back up when I call you on it.

    I know where some brown comes from.  

    EEEEEEEW About John Tyler's grandkids. That means that John's son, Lyon G. Tyler had kids when he was 68 and 72 years old, in the 1920's. OLD BALLS. And that was before Viagra was invented. Nasty. Nasty.
