Naive Thinking

My "naive thinking" isnt like everyone elses seems to be. And I'm not trying to say that I'm less naive or smarter, I just don't believe in very many questionable things. It seems like most of the posts deal with religion. Well, my naive thinking has to do with science - biology in particular.

For as long as I can remember, every time I ate Mexican food I had to shit minutes after. I can't explain it. And after taking a Biology class and learning about the digestive system and excretory system, there was no explanation for what I do.

I continue to think that it is the Mexican food that makes me shit right after. Possibly something in the spices that triggers something in my body. I'm not sure.

Other explanations that I just came up with include: a placebo effect - every time I'm eating Mexican food I'm thinking to myself what will happen shortly after. So as I'm eating, my body is processing and getting ready for exit. By the time I've finished eating, it's time to poop. Another explanation would be some kind of mathmatical or statistical answer - it takes me X amout of time to crap, and it just so happens that eating Mexican food slides into the correct time slot.

That's just more naive thinking. Heh.
