I thought this article made fascinating reading:

www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/04/04/AR2007040401721.html?hpid=artslot

I seem pathologically unable to do links, so if this fails (and it most certainly will), could some kind soul do me the favour of making the link work? Thank you.

I'm not surprised either. i know I would have hurried past too. But it sounded like it was quite good for JB's ego in a way!

Can you imagine having an instrument so sensitve/delicate/valuable that a 2 block taxi ride was needed?

What a brilliant experiment! I think that doing it not at peak time would have been a better one though, as then you would be more likely to get people on day trips etc - although I suppose the point was to see if it could break through that state of hypnosis that routine brings.
