They did all these experiments with Peeps like what it takes to dissolve a peep or what happens to a peep in a vacuum. I am so going to do some of this stuff when I get home.
My favorite: the peep fear response (from being put in a test chamber...read: microwave).
It is the opinion of the authors that these data clearly demonstrate an adaptive fear response to stressful stimuli in the peep species. This response likely evolved in order to intimidate potential predators through the awesome size and prowess achieved in a frightened peep.Peeps may have evolved this adaptation only to the combination of enclosed spaces and bright light, as adult peeps are often cornered on shelves by flashlight-wielding thieves looking for a sugary treat while ransacking the local drug store. Others have theorized that this is the result of a Jungian cultural consciousness dating back to the horrific electric-glowing ferret invasion of the sub-Saharan Peep den of 1872 -- an event rivaled only by the infamous 200 gigawatt firefly infestation of the Fluffhaven caves in southern Italy.
