In their fantastic book about cognitive dissonance, Mistakes Were Made (But Not by Me), Carol Tavris and Elliot Aronson write about the great psychologist Leon Festinger who, in 1957, infiltrated a doomsday cult. The cult was led by Dorothy Martin who called herself Sister Thedra. She convinced her followers in Chicago an alien spacecraft would suck them up and fly away right as a massive flood ended the human race on December 21, 1954. Many of her followers gave away everything they owned, including their homes, as the day approached. Festinger wanted to see what would happen when the spaceship and the flood failed to appear. Festinger hypothesized the cult members faced the choice of either seeing themselves as foolish rubes or assuming their faith had spared them. Would the cult members keep their weird beliefs beyond the date the world was supposed to end and become even more passionate as had so many groups before them under similar circumstances? Of course they did. Once enough time had passed they could be pretty sure no spaceships were coming, they began to contact the media with the good news: their positive energy had convinced God to spare the Earth. They had freaked out and then found a way to calm down. Festinger saw their heightened state of arousal as a special form of anxiety – cognitive dissonance.

【身高和那个大小没有关系啦】

我们常常有这样的迷思：男性身高很高，丁丁会不会也相对较大呢。

其实不一定啦。1998 年搞笑诺贝尔统计学奖颁给了两位加拿大学者Jerald Bain和Kerry Siminoski，他们以 63 位性功能正常的男性为研究对象，测量他们的勃起时的丁丁长度、身高以及鞋子尺寸并将研究结果刊登在知名期刊。

统计结果指出：一个男人的身高与其丁丁长度，呈现弱相关性，而脚掌长度与阴茎长度也同样是弱相关性。

即使这些研究都有偏差，大家也请相信，人们无法从脚掌长度或身高推知丁丁的真正长度，那种秘密存在的推算公式，不适用于人类啦。source
