Mmm. Quirkology mentions an equivalent experiment in which they acquired some childhood photos from a friend of the test subject then photoshopped one of them to depict a fictitious ride in a hot air balloon. At first people couldn't remember the ride at all, but when asked a month later most had quite definite memories of it.

That's an interesting study, thanks.

Also, you part-capitalise your href tags! I don't think I've seen that before. Personal style, or is a utility doing that for you?

(I like the fact that only those of us who received an email notification of this comment would have known you wrote </geek> at the end of it :-)

I never believe those, I don't think they close properly.
