Two truths and a lie
1. In 1969 Gardner and Gardner taught a chimpanzee American Sign Language. By the
end of a 32 month periods they have taught the chimp over 30 signs, the chimp
could talk about abstract concepts not physically present in the environment (a
feature thought to be unique to humans) and could put two signs together to make a
phrase e.g. “gimme tickle”.

2. In a 2006 study, researchers found that listening to girl bands such as Destiny’s Child,
Spice Girls and Girls Aloud increased the fertility of women. Through a self report
study it was found that there was a positive correlation between the likelihood of
pregnancy and the length of time spent listening to girl bands.


3. During the Cold War the CIA started researching ways they could turn Americans
into CIA-controlled "superagents," people who could carry out assassinations and
who wouldn't be affected by enemy interrogations. Under what was known as the
MK-ULTRA project, CIA researchers experimented on unsuspecting American (and
Canadian) citizens by slipping them psychedelic drugs, including LSD, PCP and
barbiturates, as well as additional — and additionally illegal — methods such as
hypnosis, and, possibly, chemical, biological, and radiological agents.
