You know, while you're waiting for the next This American Life to come. So good.
After only being an audience member for one day, I have learned:
-most living things only turn off half their brain while sleeping. so they only experience that inbetween drowsy loopy feeling. (which doesn't sound entirely bad)
-it is, in fact, possible to have memories erased and implanted in your mind. (yes, just like Eternal Sunshine)
-memories are made of proteins. and with certain strategically timed doses of a drug that stops protein production, you can just prevent a memory from ever forming.
-ducks sleep with one eye open
-about 50% of people would be willing to suffocate their own crying baby to save an entire village that is hiding. (I don't know what I would do. Prolly just cry a lot.)
-100% of people would flip a lever to switch a train's track so that it would hit one man instead of 5. But 0% of people would push that man on the tracks to save the 5.
-when exposed to it for one 4 hour block, tetris will be present in 60% of those people's dreams
