Psychologist Arthur Aron set up an experiment in which two strangers, a man and a woman, met at the laboratory. They were instructed to discuss the answers to a set of 36 increasingly intimate questions, and then stare into each others eyes for four minutes. What happened? Six months later, they were married, and even invited the psychology lab staff to the wedding.
That was twenty years ago. Mandy Len Catron found herself discussing Dr. Aron’s experiment with an acquaintance at a bar. They decided to recreate that scenario, right then and there, over beers. Catron wrote about the experience at the New York Times, and you can try to guess the outcome. -via Digg
