Plus, I was going to ask, but got sidetracked:

The forty Poles: Is that 40 Polish gentlemen standing upright, or laid end to end?

I'm more worried about the "every Pole shall contain sixteen Foot and an half" part.

Hey, I said with limited success. Don't tell me you've never sat on your Persian rug with your motorcycle helmet on and willed the thing to take off?

Of course not! I have no motorcycle helmet.

I'm guessing that's placebo effect... and if so, it's not all bad. If homeopathic remedies are used as additional therapies, or in isolation for conditions that don't worsen without "proper" clinical intervention, and the user really believes and feels he or she is benefiting from them, that's a valid treatment, IMHO. I object, though, when folks are led to believe they're practical alternatives to proven medications, treatments and procedures that are necessary in curing or controlling more serious ailments and afflictions...

Homeopathy has several things going for it.
- Most ailments pass all by themselves
- Drinking water is usually a good thing
- Placebo works
- Placebo works better if someone pretends to care and understand

The cons, of course:
- It's still hogwash

And on placebo, they've found that fake pills work but fake injections work better - and fake operations work even better again. One study I read about involving knee operations actually gave better results for the fake operations than the real ones. Ouch.

Placebo can even work when you know it's placebo, just less efficiently. How easily we are fooled
