I don't count a comedian as an authority on something so serious, but would love to see some scientific study on the effectiveness of spanking.



Longde: I am at work so I should be doing other stuff and haven't given this a thorough read through, but this may be what you're looking for: http://books.google.com/books?hl=en&lr=&id=RbpT9Ln5WZMC&oi=fnd&pg=PA1&dq=is+corporal+punishment+effective&ots=rvL1wmQQhz&sig=3DrEF-Ip_6b8OAOuH9ZL9RxWU

I also found a couple papers, as well but I don't know if you have access to journals; if you do let me know and I will go track them down.

This project has been fictionalized in the novel The Templar Legacy by Steve Berry. The fictional construction of Givors in this novel is based on the project at Castle Guedelon.

I sort of wish this wasn't a comedy. Women complaining of PMS like symptoms around this time period were either given one of two things (depending on the doctor); either a vibrator, or they were forced against their will into an asylum.
I'm sure it will be a good movie but the truth still retains the title of being much more interesting than fiction.


Too soon? /smirk

I think it's a good thing to play up the comedic aspect of something that was also terribly tragic at the time. Laughter can be very cathartic.


::looks forward to a comedy about the end of religious superstition::
