i love twinkies, and the reason i am saying that is because we are all supposed to think of reasons to live. in science class, mr. z. told us all about an experiment where they got this rat or mouse, and they put this rat or mouse on one side of a cage. on the other side of the cage, they put a little piece of food. and this rat or mouse would walk over to the food and eat. then, they put the rat or mouse back on it's original side , and this time, they put electricity all through the floor where the rat or mouse would have to walk to get the piece of food. they did this for awhile, and the rat or mouse stopped going to get the food after a certain amount of voltage. then, they repeated the experiment, but they replaced the food with something that gave them intense pleasure, but i am guessing it is some kind of mouse or rat nip. anyway, what the scientists found out was that the rat or mouse would put up with a lot more voltage for the pleasure. even more than for the food.
i don't know the significance of this, but i find it very interesting.
