I find myself with some free time on my hands, and since we are back from Minnesota, I am willing to start this whenever you are, Kitty.

Who else, besides Doug and Jamie, do we want to recruit for a control group? (That is the correct term, yes?)

*laugh*

We start sometime after we get a few more controls. M-A, you want to ask people, since it's your power we're testing? We probably ought to get at least five controls total, (so at least three more), but I could handle up to ten, I'm sure, especially if you're still worried about how Doug's power will affect things.

*nod* yeah, and try and get one who doesn't know about stocks.

Hmm. You have a point, but if his data is too abarrant I'll just throw it out. Maybe ask one other person just in case.

Trials of dating geeks, right, Angie? :)

'Course, I'm the one who started taking physics for the cute girl in the class and ended up learning how to play with so-advanced-it-can't-see-the-edge holographic technology for fun, so maybe I'm not one to talk.

Will do. But he's going under there all by himself. I'm not risking any extremely-well-read dust bunnies with laser guns.

Well, Mr. Dayspring's out, cause he's a 'path. But we could see if Bobby or John or maybe Marie would be willing to be our staff observer. And I guess if they know a little about stocks it would be ok, but not a lot. Er, that might let Mr. Wisdom into it, or maybe Mr. Summers and Ms. Munroe. Oh, and probably Kurt and Sam would qualify, cause I doubt Kurt would know much about US stocks, at least.

And, actually, we might not have to have them actually taking part in the experiment. It might be enough if they were just observing/monitoring to make sure we didn't do something stupid (not sure how we could do something stupid predicting stocks though...) So then you could ask Al or Ms. Frost or really anyone. We're going to want to talk to Ms. Frost eventually anyways.
