> The team recruited 27 healthy adult men in Japan, each of whom received a dose of non-oxygenated perfluorodecalin via the anus. They were asked to retain the liquid for a full hour as the dosage slowly increased from 25 to 1,500 mL. Twenty of the men successfully completed the experiment.

7 of them went home and never spoke of it again.

That's a lot of liquid to retain, it would feel very weird

But it would feel amazing upon release

That sounds like an amazing sh*t.

I've you've ever had to drink 1 gallon of that salty stuff before a colonoscopy, this sounds similar.

How did they advertise this experiment?

Please, quiet down. Thank you all, for accepting my personal invitation and coming tonight.

As you can see, there is only a carrot in front of you, but that is not to say that this dinner will be uneventfull or unfulfilling. On the contrary, I believe. In fact, I hope you will accept my humble request that we let our mouths be free for candid conversation, and the colon for breathing. It will be an evening like none you have ever seen, I assure you, my dear medical students.
