Subject: Concept for a Science Project

Heard this one today. Interesting idea.

I have a concept for a high-school science project that I wish I was a kid so I could do it myself.

You set up a booth with cameras located such that they can observe people coming to the Booth.

You have a big sign that says "Are you pro-Choice?"

On a table, you have a kitchen blender 1/2 full of water with a frog inside.

You have instructions that inform the customer, if you are pro-choice, push the button. You tell them that 1/50 times, the frog will actually be blended. You have a switch in the back that allows the power to go to the blender. You record the behavior of the people who walk up, and you observe their reaction.

You see if they push the button.

When they push the button, the frog just sits there but an alarm goes off, lights flash and a speaker saying "Another abortion just occurred" announces the result.

I bet a lot of people will suggest it is "animal cruelty" at which point, you tell them "Its not like its a human being or anything" and sluff them off.
