George from “it’s a wonderful life” would need a lasso 14 % larger to rope this full moon for Mary! Great short piece of science-Dad

Great article-a bit too scientific for us lay-people! Knock out items have been quite the rage-in the 80’s-knockout bakery items, in the 90’s-knockout disco, and now in the 20’s-knockout genetically altered lab mice-Wow! What does future research hold for us ?

Wait, Donna, you dont confront your friends with guns when you want things? What all that raiding my house with shotguns and ninja swords about, over a plastic tupperware bowl!

Oh, its totally natural to let your own personal moral code to enter into the equation. I have never actually served jury duty (watch, I’m sure they’ve got me now…) but I can hardly imagine overriding my true gut feelings on an issue. I imagine that in many cases jury deliberation is the battle between emotions and impartial judgment. Interesting to think it just might be the DLPFCs vs the amygdalas in this battle!!!

Wow! Made me reflect on the two cases I sat on the jury for-honestly, some emotion entered into my individual vote, and was evident during jury members’ discussions, in spite of the directives and guidelines!

HAHA, yes! Discussion it is. My favorite part of the sentencing hearing, which perhaps illustrates your point exactly, was when OJ pleaded, teary eyed, “I thought that I was confronting friends in order to take back my property, I just wanted my stuff back” … confronting your friends WITH GUNS!?!? Are you insane? to really believe this is reality.. or to make such a claim and think the judge will believe you? Seriously, something wrong here…
