Experiment: The Effect of Blasphemous Statements on Field Mycology
If you're just finding this entry, an explanation for why I'm conducting this experiment can be found in my last one.
H0: Writing the statements "Suck it, Jesus. Suck it, Mohammed." 100 times in a blog entry freely visible to anyone, including a hypothetical omnipresent and omnipotent deity, will result in no observable effect on the result of efforts to gather specimens in the field for mycological research.
HA: Writing the above statements will have an effect upon success, which may include anything from not finding specimens to the injury or death of the researcher making them.
Background Information
I will be leaving at approximately 8:30 AM for a field site in an attempt to gather various fungi for the purpose of investigating micromorphological and genetic characteristics. This effort will entail driving approximately 60 miles on the round trip, spending between four and six hours in a natural area at the base of a mountain, entering boggy areas, and seeking out specimens.
Today's weather calls for high temperatures of approximately 72° F with wind gusts of up to 30 mph. Clearly, a boulder could land on me, a tree limb could fall on me, I could drown, I could be attacked by a rabid chipmunk, my car could be hit by a semi on the way, etc. I will make no special arrangements to protect myself other than the usual precautions I take when going into the field (i.e., wearing insect repellent to prevent being bitten by mosquitoes and ticks).
So, on with the blasphemy, then!

Readers are encouraged to count the above to insure that I have written the statement precisely 100 times.
In order to avoid potential contamination of my input by commentary statements in defense of the above-named religious figures, I will not be allowing comments to this entry.
