There's lots of people shooting holes in Persinger's work, but if Shermer is saying he had a physical experience I'd say there's something to it. === Purveyor of Doc Hope's [link\|http://DocHope.com\|fresh-baked dog biscuits and pet treats].

Post #268,415 by Andrew Grygus 9/22/06 10:17:16 PM Reply	Validity of "sample size one" depends on intensity. Sample size one shot in head with 9mm parabellum at 1 meter - died - proves nothing because sample size of one. Need more samples. Actually, this magnetic experiment does need more samples and at not so much over normal intensity. [link\|http://www.aaxnet.com\|AAx]

They have people all the time who got shot in the head and it didn't hit anything important. === Purveyor of Doc Hope's [link\|http://DocHope.com\|fresh-baked dog biscuits and pet treats].
