Guy on the radio (he was convinced we all have a 6th sense but I’ll forget about that bit of rubbish for the sake of his good experiment), made an interesting point today that I thought I’d share.

He’s in a room with 30 people. He produces a fountain pen and says “This used to belong to Albert Einstein”. People are immediately fascinated and everyone wants to look at and hold it to see what it’s like.

A few minutes later he produces an old woolly cardigan. He asks “Who here would wear this cardigan in return for €20?” Every person in the room immediately puts up their hand. He follows that with “Now, who in this room would wear this cardigan for €20 if I told you it used to belong to serial killer Fred West?” Everyone but 2 people put their hands down (and no one wants to sit near, or speak to, the two people who would still wear the cardigan).

My point is, despite the fact that I’m non-spiritual, non superstitious, rational person, there’s no way I’d wear that cardigan either - though no matter how much I think about it I can’t give you a reason why.

(Well, I found it interesting)
