Tech History Made on April 11th 1939

On this day in 1939 "truth serum" was patented by Volwiler and Tabern. "Truth serum" or Pentothal relaxes a person without unconsciousness. They name "truth serum" is inaccurate, Pentothal does make one truthful but rather lowers ones inhibitions. So you can still lie if someone uses truth serum one you. Makes a lot of conspiracy theories look silly, doesn't it?
