Experiments in sleep deprivation

10 Things that may happen to you If you are sleepy enough and find yourself in Pittsburgh on game day:
1. Sleep though the flight and only wake when the plane touches the ground, thinking: "oh great, we landed, I am not dead and no one blew up the palne."
2. Be unable to do simple math in you head, and in extreme hours of fatigue, unable to add on paper- particiularly nasty when dealing with timecode. NOTE: The subject, after failing to add, reports that she did not know here name and could only mutter someting about pumpkin pie.
3.Experience a euphoria drug like experience with auditory hallucinations and equilibrium side effects akin to Ecstasy-i.e. feeling your whole life is one long take of a 70mm filmed tracking shot, and you are floating through it.
4. Finally get that nasty cold your girlfriend had last week.
5.Become bitchy.
6.Feel as though you are some kind of rockstar, espcially if you are in an area or sports stadium.
7.See visions of people wearing T-shirts with McDonald's logo's on them that have LCD flat panel tv screens embedded in the shirts, so that they look like teletubby's that are walking ads for McD's. Oh wait, that was real. *****It is important to note that what the subject found most distubing, was that the McD's videos contained audio and the teletubbys were communicating to each other over the audio track, so it was a very loud and scary vision that you were forced to look at, which gave McD's exposure as the teletubbys walked past onto a diabetic coma.
8.Think that you are an alien.
9. Use the words "death culture" in a sentence repeatedly while watching people with game faces walk by.
10.Fall asleep when you sit down.
