Normal thought... or differnt

Free will or synaptic wiring? You be the judge.
Check out the following exercise, guaranteed to raise an eyebrow.
There's no trick or surprise.
Just follow these instructions, and answer the questions one at a time and
as quickly as you can!
Again, as quickly as you can but don't advance until you've done each of
them... really.

Now, scroll down (but not too fast, you might miss something).........





















What is:







1+5


























2+4



























3+3
































4+2





























5+1
































Now repeat saying the number 6 to yourself as fast as you can for 15
seconds.
Then scroll down.












































QUICK!!! THINK OF A VEGETABLE! Then arrow down.












































Keep going.













































You're thinking of a carrot, right?

If not, you're among the 2% of the population whose minds are different
enough to think of something else. 98% of people will answer with carrot
when given this exercise.

Freaky, huh?




well did it work for you? shamefully i fall into the "normal" catagory.... i think i was just being lazy when i did it :P

i guess thats why i like fnk, alot of creative thinkers!
i dont actualy know what the connection is...
but when you think about it, this kind of manipulation is probably used on us..... ...
ive shared this with many people, and most definitly had the huge majority answer carrot.

bok-choy, havent had that in ages.... i was wondering though, how the hell does this make you think of McDs?

So, any plant part that has seeds in it is, botanically speaking, the fruit. I often get strange looks from people when I ask them about the fruit from the squash plant, or their beans.
