Well I learned something very interesting the other day while I was watching Disney Channel. And I love this because everyone is always teasing me about how childish I am for watching the channel, but I recently watched an episode that taught me something that I recently learned in my psychology class. So the TV show that I was watching is called "The Suite Life on Deck" and it is about two twins that go to high school on a ship and they have amazing friends, so they make crazy activities and so many random things happen.
       In this particular episode Cody and Bailey who are the smartest in the class are practicing their psychology course and they review what's a placebo. While they're studying Bailey's roommate who is so dumb says that studying is so stupid, so Bailey and Cody make it bet that Bailey can get her roommate to get at least a B on her biology finals with some good tutoring. Bailey's tutoring doesn't work so instead she tries a placebo on her roommate, she tells her that the reason she always does good in her classes is because she has this special perfume that makes her smarter, so her roommate gets so exited and says she wants to become "smarterer". When she uses a whole bunch of Bailey's perfume she feels so much smarter and she aces the test with a B+, and then she finds out Bailey was lieing and feels dumb again. So Cody tells Bailey that she didn't win the bet because she cheated. Such a Great episode.
