More sober minds will prevail, no doubt...
Certainly psycho. We were put on their new toy, something link a Link trainer and put in complete darkness watching a little red light.

They would then start to spin the little br so slowly that the little hairs in the semi-circulars did not sense any movement. The spinning speed would slowly increase but without any sensation inside.

I seem to remember watching afterwards when the thing was orbiting like a spin drier. Then they would stop it. They never really explained anything and it had br all relevance to sitting in the back of the Domnie. If the Dominie span, "we're all going to die Capt'n Mannering"

I know I could not drive home for some hours and was distinctly unwell the following day.
