The Placebo Effect

In case you hadn't heard, I have a cold.

One of those big sinusy jobbers.

So Nena and I bought some Sudafed, only, I bought some of that new-fangled Meth-less Sudafed.

Later in the evening upon realizing that my nose was running a marathon and my sinus headache had gone away I turned to Nena and said "wow, that new fake Sudafed works really well."

Just now, as I was getting ready for bed I went to take two more of these miracle pills...only to find I hadn't taken any. I'd opened the box when we got home, but I hadn't bothered to actually take any of the pills.

Yup, the brain's a helluva drug.
