notaclue,
Its irrelevent whether the effects are imagined or 'real' is it not?
If smearing jam on your cd's makes 'em sound better, what difference does it make?
I just hope a scientist never tells you to eat your own turds.
Though of course i am basing this on my assumption that turds taste like shit. It may well taste like ice cream to you, and strawberry jelly to the scientist, in which case you could dine together.
