Did you know …
That the brain of a human infant is so malleable that a child can easily be convinced that a) it was raised by dinosaurs, and b) it is itself a dinosaur? It’s true!
Several studies at the University of Iowa, conducted between 1940 and 1965, found that babies can be raised as dinosaurs simply by eliminating all human contact from the moment of birth, and by covering the walls of its cage with posters of dinosaurs. Amazingly, these children grew up with no concept of human language, a complete lack of social skills, and a truly saurian approach to raw meat when it was delivered through the food hatch.
Similar experiments in which the dinosaur posters would be replaced with the posters for Adam West’s 1966 film, Batman: The Movie, were planned, but, despite the obvious amazing possibilities of a generation of Batman children, interest in the project waned, and funding was cut entirely by 1967.
Still, there are plenty of Batman posters out there, and there’s certainly no shortage of babies, so you never know …
