Definitely torture. Jo or surly girl will chime in here at some point, or Dr. Sketch or Tony or someone, and we will all agree - DEFINITELY torture. ;-)

So he stayed in the fridge from age 7 to age 9 till he figured it out? =8-o

Oh sure! Thank me and then call me "long winded" in the next sentence! Boo hoo! 8`-(

Plenty of room for more - plenty of room. Come on over to the Forum and fire one up with us. :-)

Magg0t,

Come on over to the Forum and find out!

Magg0t,

Radical Ed IS Byberry. Can't think of any other way to say it.

I can't even use the word "abnormal" in a sentence any more without breaking down into some serious giggling - not a good thing for a clinical psychologist. :-(

Its a vintage 1920's glass block -marble guillotine. Don't make 'em like they used to...

Did you read the description of this facility at the beginning of the photo album, Nancy?

"The most infamous aspect of this facility is the testing of radioactive substances on unknowing participants in the late 1940's, according to declassified documents from the US Department of Atomic Energy. The tests were performed in conjunction with Harvard University, MIT, and was sponsored in part by the Quaker Oats Company. A total of 74 patients were encouraged to participate in the experiment under the guise of joining a "science club", where the boys were fed iron and calcium enriched meals with "radioisotope tracers" that were used to track absorption.

The doses given were very low and doubtfully caused any injury to the subjects, but the troubling moral dilemma exists in the fact that neither the children nor their parents were given knowledge about the testing."

Thanks Duchess, I just had to do a double take after you said that... and then a tripple take. Creepy Creepy Creepy!

Wow, at first I thought this seemed like the most innocent looking picture out of the whole lot. Thanks Lynne for setting me straight, LoL. What a great shot.

hehe, my son tried to fit in ours when he was about 7 just to see if the light stayed on, the silly boy never did figure that out until he was 9 because we kept the fridge full, but Berry and i decided to let him see for himself before we chucked it ^_^ it was a lovely fridge, they sure dont make em like they used to, hah, shows my age now doesnt it dear

Wow, I never even noticed the shadow person until after readin the comments. Great shot!!! It looks like the employees are going to return any second and pick up where they left off.

You and i both dear, you and i both!

Not sure if this is going to be looked at after so many longwinded posts...

I work as a CNA in a nursing home and It can be really fustrating at times (Thanks Lynne for sticking up for us). Commonly there will be 30 patients on a wing with only two aids and a nurse. It gets hecktic when there are patients trying to stand up by themselves when they are not strong enough. My facility encourages alarms to be placed on wheelchairs and beds (the alarm goes off when theres no contact with the patient). But you get 2 or 3 patients on every wing who forget that they need help and we have to run towards the sound of the alarm every five minutes. What happens when 3 alarms start to go off at once and it takes 1 or 2 minutes to get each person settled down? The nurses will call the patients doctor and if he/she gives the signal then we can put seat belts or lap trays on them (By the way these are our only restraints). Now the patient is safe from hurting his/herself and us aids can tend to the needs of others more thouroughly.

PS - I can just picture that chair roaming around the place at night, looking to see where all it's people went to... ok ok bad thoughts!!! Damn, now I'm gonna have to watch a disney movie to get that image out of my head.
