It's stuff like this which almost makes me regret not going for the BSc psych and neuro program at this one university. Almost.

We used something called fly nap in our class... I don't know what it was composed of exactly, but it was supposed to be less drugging (for humans) than ether. Let me just say that I wasn't too intent (or was I?) on finding out what actual ether did. Not a good condition for manipulating tiny creatures with pointy objects. We also killed a few from having left the fly nap in too long. Oops.
