Psycholinguistics

I just had the best lecture ever!! Psycholinguistics is my favourite lecture anyway cos it's the most interesting and we have the best lecturer ever, but today was extra good! We got to play a record breaking game of chinese whispers, with 200ish people!!! I'm not really sure what it was supposed to be illustrating, something to do with problems with speech perception, but it taught me that chinese whispers doesn't work with that many people! It started off as 'Jamie Oliver says 5 a day' and ended up as 'Clean someone's ball'!! We were somewhere in the middle, and got 'I like touching little animals'!!!
Another thing that made it a very amusing lecture was the fact that the lecturer spent most of the time with a woodpigeon puppet on her hand which she would point things out with and randomly wave around and squeak!! In the end she had to take it off though cos everyone was in hysterics, it's hard to take anyone seriously when they have a squeaking pigeon on their hand!
We also had a panic that we were all going to be burnt alive cos there was a really strong smell of burning and it was getting really hot so we were expecting to have to run out the fire exit any minute! Thankfully it didn't come to that, I don't know what was burning but obviously nothing serious!
