Elephants on Acid : And Other Bizarre Experiments Call Number: New Book Shelf Q173 .B667 2007
When Tusko the Elephant woke in his pen at the Lincoln Park Zoo on the morning of August 3, 1962, little did he know that he was about to become the test subject in an experiment to determine what happens to an elephant given a massive dose of LSD. In Elephants on Acid, Alex Boese reveals to readers the results of not only this scientific trial but of scores of other outrageous, amusing, and provocative experiments found in the files of modern science.
Here readers will learn whether people can or cannot tell the difference between Coke and Pepsi, if wine connoisseurs really know what they are talking about, why can’t people tickle themselves, would the average dog summon help in an emergency, will babies instinctually pick a well-balanced diet, is it possible to restore life to the dead. Read Elephants on Acid and find out! With well-chosen black-and-white photographs throughout, Elephants on Acid is by turns funny, scary, gross, but always entertaining.
