Well, I didn't witness it. I was involved in it. I'd show you the blisters,
but they healed years ago. When I was in high school, one of the things I
was very involved in was hypnotism. Among other things, I studied
susceptibility to suggestion under the influence of a hypnotic trance. Some
people I was working with put me under and ran me through my paces. Besides
speaking latin at one point (which I don't speak, BTW, jeff) they did the
famous ~You are being touched by...~ trick. It worked, and I created
appropriate blisters and burns. You would be absolutely suprised at the
things you can get your body to do under the appropriate suggestion.

(Just for the record, the Latin I spoke was, after a lot of research, a
High Mass I had watched on Television a number of years previous. My
subconcious evidently stored it until I needed access to a language I
didn't know. Amazing what your brain can do to convince you of what you
want to believe, no?)
