Greetings all! I have just finished placing an experiment which I wanted to share with you.

First, a little background: my family obtained a big screen, plasma HDTV around three weeks ago. I hadn't found it terribly impressive, since it was only slightly bigger than our standard definition TV. Actually, I thought it was a load of crap that they payed 4,000 dollars for such a tiny improvement. The interesting thing to note here is that it still fits in one of the armoirs that we had gotten, so ultimately, it is still "framed" inside the same box as the last one.

I was thinking about this recently, and decided to run an experiment. When my mother left to go get some groceries and other things this morning, I swapped the two televisions. I made sure that everything looks exactly like it did three weeks ago. This is an experiment to see if my mother will or won't register the change, relying on long-term memory rather than short term, and which long-term memory she uses to remember her environment.

I will post again after she comes home to relay the results of the experiment. It's a one-shot only, so we'll see!

How many boards could the Mongols hoard if the Mongol hordes got bored?

...ZOMG SHE'S HERE.

Edit: I can't believe it! IT'S WORKING! She doesn't notice the difference!

That's pretty awesome.

I wonder how long it will take her notice (if ever).
