I like the demonstration in which a college professor will have a person disrupt his/her class without warning by running through the room. The descriptions of the "runner" are invariably quite varied. Also, if the right student says that he is certain that the runner had on glasses, some classmates will agree with him (when the runner didn't have on glasses). Memory can be "contagious"?
