Now that's the coolest thing I've seen today.

Very relevant term:

Iatrogenic ArtifactAn iatrogenic artifact is a disease made up by doctors, often a diagnostic trend or fad that has become or is expected to become obsolete or discredited. Examples of diseases considered or accused of being iatrogenic artifacts include nymphomania, hystero-epilepsy, repressed memory, autogynephilia, and multiple personality disorder. In many cases, it has been shown that "experts" who believe in the disease are able to observe or even induce symptoms matching the disease's description in suggestible patients. In the case of hystero-epilepsy, it was shown that moving those allegedly afflicted with the disease into different settings made their symptoms disappear. [Wikipedia]

I believe they now call that kind of seizure a psychogenic psuedoseizure.

Yeah. I have that effect on people... Kinda like those flashing strobe lights that induce siezures...

We have a Christmas tree light blinker timer, all this last Christmas, and of course the kids were goofing around with it... it was blinking on the highest setting... to the point where it was like a strobe, and we actually called it the "Siezure Inducing Setting."

Blinking lights make Jesus mad.
