An example of the scientific method:
A scientist is studying a grasshopper.
"Jump!" says the scientist, and the grasshopper jumps.
"Jump!" says the scientist, and the grasshopper jumps.
"Interesting..." he says. The scientist takes some notes, and then he tears off one of the grasshopper's hind legs.
"Jump!" says the scientist, and the grasshopper jumps.
"Jump!" says the scientist, and the grasshopper jumps.
"That's interesting..." he says. The scientist writes down some more notes, and then he tears off the other hind leg.
"Jump!" says the scientist, but the grasshopper doesn't move.
"Jump! Jump! Jump!" says the scientist, but the grasshopper still doesn't move.
"VERY interesting!" says the scientist, and writes most confidently in his notebook:
"Upon removal of the hind legs, a grasshopper becomes deaf."
Note: I stole this joke from somebody in the Philosophy section.
