Does manipulating Adsense make me happy?

Just now I surfed out to a link on a physics magazine (yes, a physics magazine, so sue me for being a geek) and was reading a story about a scientist who built some contraption to measure happiness. Sounds interesting. But I haven't read beyond the first sentence because I noticed that the magazine is suplementing their income by using Google Adsense. Now I understand using Adsense. I do it too, mostly out of curiosity to see how much I would have to write everyday to make the kind of money that Heather Armstrong does. (The answer is, it doesn't matter, cuz I'll never be as funny as her.)

OK, so back to adsense. Adsense tries to make it's ads topical by looking at the content of the page. The story on this page is about happiness. And BOTH of the ads are for Dianetics. This isn't the first time I have seen this happen. I've seen ads for them show up on religious blogs as well. But it still cracks me up to see it happen.

So today's blog is mostly an experiment to see if I can write 3 short paragraphs about happiness and joy and get a Dianetics ad. Granted, I'm also seeding the story with the name of the book, but I really think that I would be happy with my life if I could get an ad from the folks in Clearwater FL. So, herewith I post my experiment, check my ads, possibly edit this post with results, and then go back to read the physics blog.

ETA: Dang. The two ads that appeared for ME right after posting were for a cable cooking show and a teeth whitener. I don't want to write anything more specific, because then this edit will skew the results. And that wouldn't make me happy.
