I found this little experiment on WikiHow. I wonder if it will work for a penis as well??? Hmmm... I'll have to run a clinical study this weekend...
How to Experience the Pinocchio Effect
Pinocchio!The Pinocchio effect, named after the fictional puppet-turned-boy of the same name, is a tactile illusion, an illusion that uses your sense of touch to "trick" your brain. Such illusions are remarkable because they challenge what we think we know about our perception of the world. Want to expand your nose and your mind? Try it out.
1. Arrange two chairs, one right behind the other. The chairs should both be facing the same direction.
2. Sit in the rear chair and have a friend sit in the chair in front of you.
3. Blindfold yourself or keep your eyes shut throughout the exercise.
4. Have your friend guide one of your hands to his or her nose. It will probably be easier to use your dominant hand for this part.
5. Bring your other hand up to your own nose.
6. Tap and stroke your friend's nose. Hopefully you're good friends, as this can seem a bit weird. Randomly alternate between tapping your friend's nose and lightly stroking it, as though you're trying to communicate with Morse Code. The more random your movements, the more likely you'll feel the Pinocchio effect. Be gentle.
7. Tap and stroke your own nose with identical movements. As you're tapping and stroking your friend's nose, use your other hand to reproduce the taps and strokes on your own nose. Try to synchronize the movements of your hands as closely as possible.
8. Continue for 30 seconds to a minute. After a while, you may start to feel as though your nose is three feet long (hence the name Pinocchio effect) or that your nose is somehow no longer connected to your body. Try it a couple times if it doesn't work the first time, and make sure the movements of your two hands are as identical as possible. If it still doesn't work, don't worry: about 50% of people can feel the Pinocchio effect, and you may be one of the other 50%.

Tuesday, April 01, 2008 Tug Tug Terry Sound Bytes
Just a few sound bytes from my favorite Reno 911 character, Tug Tug Terry from Tacos Tacos Tacos Tacos. I wish they would have added the "mexican werewolves" quote.
"I heard a ruuummmor... mexican werewolves are coming up from mexico... selling crack."
Monday, March 31, 2008 Bathing with Bierko
I had the weirdest, yet kinda hot dream about Craig Bierko last night. (no details) And now this morning I find this:
Truly odd....
I didn't even know his name until this morning. I just remembered him from a couple episodes of Sex & the City & I saw a clip of him from Scary Movie 4 last night. Aha! That's how he showed up in the dream. Fucking Freudian. Also starring in my dream were my freaky neighbors, my Jason hockey mask, and some weird outdoor mall that was covered in snow (It kinda looked like the town in 30 Days of Night).... My dreams are just getting more & more random.
I had this rogue dream after laying back down from an early morning feline fracus. I was wakened at 4:00 to the sound of constant meowing & howling. I got up & could not find Zero, but could hear him LOUDLY. After looking in closets, bathrooms, & cabinets for about 10 minutes, I realized that he was inside the wall. INSIDE THE WALL!?! He must have got into the attic & made his way down into the walls. I had to get him out through an air return downstairs. My kids really need to stop pulling this kind of shit that early in the morning. Mondays are difficult enough without having to lose sleep for random canine & feline tomfoolery.
