Have you ever wondered if a severed head retains consciousness long enough to see what happened to it? Or whether your dog would run to fetch help, if you fell down a disused mineshaft? And what would happen if you were to give an elephant the largest ever single dose of LSD? The chances are that someone, somewhere has conducted a scientific experiment to find out:

- If left to their own devices, would babies instinctively choose a well-balanced diet?
- Discover the secret of how to sleep on planes
- Which really tastes better in a blind tasting – Coke or Pepsi?

According to mainstream accounts, Alex Boese was born in Pennsylvania, grew up in London and Washington DC, attended college in Massachusetts, and now lives in San Diego. When not writing about strange and offbeat subjects, he enjoys hiking, attempting DIY (damage it yourself) projects, and drinking craft beer. A persistent rumor claims that Alex drowned while visiting Loch Ness and was replaced by Replicant Alex, who proceeded to author the books attributed to Original Alex. However, this rumor is not considered credible.

Shannon Rogers
5.0 out of 5 stars Funny and interesting: Experiments never to be repeated
Reviewed in Australia on 7 October 2022
Verified Purchase
An assortment of funny, fascinating and field-shaking experiments. Great if you are into psychology. DIY: Feed sugar to ants and watch how they behave. Fun Fact: Cockroaches are also affected by the observer effect (when other cockroaches are watching).
