Today in class, we had two animals come to class today. Beth Lykins brought a pet cat named Puff to class, and John Weiss brought a Ball Python named King to class. At first I didn't know whose snake it was, because it just randomly appeared. I got to hold the snake and pet the cat.
Also, we discuss our fear experiments, and some of the people who didn't give their presentations last week made up for it this week. A couple of the highlights were:
- Travis Hollins' experiment with blindfolded volunteers putting their hands in food
- Blair's "mystery object experiment" and him asking people if they would eat it. They were worried that it would be a disgusting object. It smelled like chocolate to me, and I was right. It was a brownie. I ate half of it.
The class then became a discussion of different people's belief systems and gave way to a preview of the next assignment for which we discuss our beliefs and create something based on those same beliefs, and the next class, in which the students will watch the documentary "Expelled" by Ben Stein. It might not be that bad. It might be inaccurate, but it might be harmless. Hopefully, no religious debates arise from the movie. At least I have the choice the leave early if need be.
