Old mind trick.........

Saw this on another board.
THIS IS A REALLY QUICK ONE!!
MIND TRICK? (Or not)
Have you ever wondered if your mind is
normal or different?
Well, do this little mind exercise and
find out at the end!
Free will or synaptic wiring? You be the judge.
Check out the following exercise,
guaranteed to raise an eyebrow.
There's no trick or surprise.
Just follow these instructions, and
answer the questions
one at a time and as quickly as you can. Again, as quickly
as you can but don't advance until you've done each of
them...really.
Now, scroll down (but not too fast, you might miss
something)........
What is:
1+5
2+4
3+3
4+2
5+1
Now repeat saying the number 6 to
yourself as fast as you can for
15 seconds. Then scroll down.
QUICK! THINK OF A VEGETABLE!
Then arrow down.
Keep going.
You're thinking of a carrot, right?
If not, you're among the 2% of the
population whose minds are different
enough to think of something else.
98% of people will answer with carrot when given this exercise.
Freaky, huh?

Only to the extremely ignorant.The man may be severely paralysed,but he has retained his mental capacity.To refer to him as a vegetable is shameful.:(

To the person who said tomato - tomato isn't a vegetable btw, it is a fruit.
I couldn't be bothered to make a quote :D

carrot, celery, banana, potato, tomato.
what do these all have in common?
they all are 6 letter words
why do you suppose carrot would be the most common of these?
well i don't know either but would guess that it is because it's orange and orange is another 6 letter word.

I thought of a carrot first too and so did my wife but my daughter is the different one, she thought of a zucchini, kinda weird because we say the picture of the zucchini on the bottom of the page.
My daughter did it a second time and she said cucumber, very weird, huh?
