Concerning: Placebos

Placebo = a thing which is not something but we think is that thing. Many people might think that a toupee is an example of a placebo, but in truth, only good toupees are placebo. Similarly, many people think that a chihuahua is a placebo for a dog. Unfortunately, do to it's genetic make-up a chihuahua is in fact a dog, and therefore it is not a placebo. A duck dressed like a dog would not be a placebo either, but that is for reasons that I cannot get into here. However, if people were to eat ping-pong balls, such meals would be much akin to a placebo for eggs, although pong is not a placebo for ping pong.
