Ziztur delivers the goods!
This is essentially what I did with my class today. 3 times.
60 homeopathic sleeping pills. My first class did not want me to take them all. ("Just take 10, Dr. McGhandi!") My last class offered to get me a glass of water. I'm not sure what I did to them to make them want me to off myself, but whatever. My revenge will come while I am grading.
I may edit a version of it later, since I audio recorded my first class. But we'll see. I don't think that I would be able to, in good conscience, use something that my students understood was for me. So, no. I won't. But I did! And homeopaths can suck eggs! (Very, very small eggs.)

When talking about doing this sort of thing to demonstrate the inefficacy of homeopathy its VERY important to make clear, for anyone who may try copying it, that you need to be sure that you're taking something that's actually made using the homeopathic procedure (and therefore has no active ingredients).
Some things get labeled homeopathic that actually aren't and it could be dangerous if you take lots of pills of that stuff.
I'd have been a lot more impressed had you taken 1/60th of a tablet...
Ziztur is a St. Louis skeptic Bing. See what you are missing!
Hanging around in the backyard, doing fake drugs. How could I ever leave it!

One day, St. Louis will dominate the world of skepticism! Anyone who ever left it would then feel terrified and alone!
Came here to say ... what apthorpe said already
Have a comic as compensation:

I agree with St. Gasoline. St. Louis is where it's at! So what's taking the rest of the atheist community so long to get here?
BTW, today I made an offer to a homeopathist to swallow a bottle of pills. He just figuratively plugged his hears and kept talking over me. Typical.
