Re: Star Wars: The Tool of Satan
2005 Ignoble Peace - Presented jointly to Claire Rind and Peter Simmons of University of Newcastle, in the UK, for electrically monitoring the activity of a brain cell in a locust while that locust was watching selected highlights from the movie Star Wars.
A little reported after effect of this was that, when released from the experiment, the locusts, all male, started “at it” in the style of Sodom and Gomorrah!
If it works on a locust, it’ll work on someone with the brain the size of a locust.

By using a fast approaching Darth Vader as the “looming stimulus”, and monitoring the response of her (let’s be honest) captive audience with sensors resembling acupuncture needles, she was able to add greatly to her knowledge of the locust’s collision-avoiding capabilities. Even if, in this instance, the locusts couldn’t actually duck – or, in fact, blink. Locusts can’t, you see.
