Review of Elephants on Acid and Other Weird Experiments
By Alex Boese Review by Tarek Weber
I enjoyed Elephants on Acid and Other Weird Experiments. Elephants on Acid and Other Weird Experiments is by Alex Boese and is 266 pages long. It takes a long time to read, because it gets a little boring at times. If you read it little bits at a time it is very interesting. My favorite thing about this book is that you do not have to read it front to back, and you can skip little parts that are boring. The book is separated into 10 chapters. I have a few favorite experiments in this book. My favorite chapters are: Animal Tales, Sensorama, Bathroom Reading, and Total Recall.
My favorite experiment in Sensorama is The Mock-Tickle Machine, which talks about trying to tickle yourself, and what would happen if a robot tickled you. All of these experiments are weird and were only done out of curiosity. They do not have any practical uses. My favorite experiment from Animal Tales is where they see what happens when elephants are given the drug LSD. The first time the experiment was performed the elephant died. The second time the elephants ran around, made noises, and lived to tell the tale. In Bathroom Reading my favorite experiment is Fart-ology. Some researchers tested the average amount people fart a day, and later they tested the types of farts, the intensity of the smell, and the amount of gas released. It turns out guys release more gas when they fart, but girls smell worse. In Total Recall my favorite experiment is Electric Recall, because there is a picture of a brain and it is interesting. A surgeon touched parts of a patient’s brain with an electrode and it triggered different memories.
Elephants on Acid is a very interesting book that I would recommend to anyone who likes farts, or interesting experiments. There is a whole chapter on sex, so anyone who is embarrassed by those kinds of things should not read this book. This is an excellent book if you plan to write a review, or summary.
