Having a shirt on is the business

Today, I went to Sommerville House to participate in a study about the relationship between the coordination of the hand with and or without the guidance of the eye, hence the study of the motor systems within the hand, or something like that. After they said I'd get a free Western t-shirt, I kind of blanked-out. I get in there, the lady says hi, and explains the whole test. Basically, they hook up your index finger with a wire, put that hand on a table, covered by a screen, and white dots will pop up on the screen. You move your index finger, and try to place your finger on the dot, the 90 degrees clockwise of the dot, etc., then repeat with your other hand.

So I get my free t-shirt, and it's the shitty cheap ones, but pretty much what I was expecting. Being paid in cloth is awesome, although if I were in a third world country, I would probably die of starvation - but I'd be the sharpest looking corpse.
