While I generally rant that we're destroying entirely too many of the interesting myths of the world... This wouldn't be one of them I'd miss.

@8 & 25 - agreed.

Hearing-motion synesthesia

For me, colognes and perfumes have always had a "color" that I smell, in addition to the scent itself.

Much stranger things happen when chemically enhanced, though...

@ #7:

Spot-on. Stanislav Grof has a voluminous book on and called "LSD Psychotherapy." Some of the case studies he detailed working with (and successfully treating) would end up medicated beyond recognition in a psychiatric hospital nowadays. Leary's work met with significant results, but is glossed-over because of poor controls he set on his prison experiment. With the current scheduling of psychedelics, it's doubtful that anyone will attempt to reproduce his original results.

Video: Automan Titles

The best part of the series...

Automan could summon the Autocar (with the bold exclamation "Cursor! The Autocar!" IIRC). The car cornered at intersections in split-second right angle turns. So you'd see the human inside the car go "WHOOF" as they were thrown into the door, then a "THUD" as they slid back down into the seat a second later. This was generally followed with a comment like, "Do you ALWAYS have to do that?"

Ah, memories.

No friends yet.
