crisw Forum Champion Registered: Mon Feb 21 2000 Posts: 5745 Loc: California USA	I ran across this study being conducted by UCSD: Obscure Fact Learning Study Basically, you help science by taking a trivia quiz You may get annoyed, as I did, because a few of the questions are ambiguous or have alternate correct answers that aren't accepted. But I learned a few things from the quiz! _________________________ Senior Editor and Site Administrator "I'd rather make one dog happy than please all the dogmatists in the world." P. Z. Myers

I am interested to see what the final purpose of the study is. _________________________ Senior Editor and Site Administrator "I'd rather make one dog happy than please all the dogmatists in the world."

It you have a quesy stomach, don't do the melanoma study! It was gross! You sit there looking at moles for 15 minutes, and not pretty ones. I rushed through it.
