Fifteen minutes later, the psychologists again measured testosterone levels and 
discovered high levels in men who had had handled the gun, with levels 
remaining steady in those working with the board game.
  ck: Clearly we need to send murderous dictators and bored brutes multiple 
sets of Monopoly, Chutes and Ladders, and Scrabble. (Chess comes later.)  I 
wonder which world big shot would be willing to dare peace by board game. My 
bet's on Jimmy Carter. I'm ready for volunteer duty, btw.

    The students were seated, one at a time, at a table in a bare room. On the 
table were pieces of paper and either the board game Mouse Trap or a large 
handgun. Their instructions: Take apart the game or the gun and write 
directions for assembly and disassembly.

    Fifteen minutes later, the psychologists again measured testosterone levels 
and discovered high levels in men who had had handled the gun, with levels 
remaining steady in those working with the board game.
