    Men Who Stare at Goats

     
     
    Men Who Stare at Goats by Jon Ronson
     
    If you're not sure that some people in our government, past and present, are nuts this book will make you wonder.
    Secret programs run by people with their own agendas who are spending your tax money. It would be funny if it wasn't supposedly true.
    Even if half of the programs talked about are true it will still make you think.
     
    I really hope that it's all made up...<nervous laugh>
     
    I'd like to call it conspiracy theory but the people in the book are real people.

    I know for a fact how you can kill almost ANY animal by staring at it.
     
    You can conduct your own experiment in this manner.
     
    First, you'll need to buy a hamster, or gerbil.
     
    Then you'll need a basic cage or some type of holding pen. An empty aquarium would certainly do the trick.
     
    Now, place the hamster in the aquarium.
     
    Position yourself outside the glass, facing as little as two inches away from the pane or as far as a few feet. Potentially, you could be quite far, but you need to be able to see the enclosure.
     
    Now, begin staring.
     
    Stare a very long time. You might need some help. You'll probably want someone to bring you food and water. You'll also need a piss jar, because you don't want to leave the 'staring seat'.
     
    Here's the important part of the staring effort. You must be able to stare at the hamster so long that you never feed it or give it a drink of water. Pretty soon, your stared-at hamster will be dead.
     
    Once the hamster is dead, you can then tell anyone who will listen that you stared an animal to death. You could even tell a gullible British author that you're a government agent who specializes in staring at animals until they die. Maybe he'll be a big enough dupe to believe you too.
