Re: Hot, Cold, and Temperature

I think there may be one. I called "instinctive

What was funny in the experiment I mentioned was to
write all "negative connotated nouns" (for any reason)
in one column, and all "positive c.n." in another one.
Then if you read all first column you felt very sick,
and if you read the other one, you felt happy. No more
Prozac needed :-)
