24 fan hooked up to stress pop quiz during show, didn’t get stressed

Do you feel your heart start to race when 24 has one of its trademark torture scenes?

A 35-year-old fan of 24 agreed to allow himself to be hooked up to a heart rate monitor in a hospital while he watched 24 to find out just how stressful viewing an episode of the counter-terrorism drama really is, a Fox TV affiliate reported.

Unfortunately for the folks at Fox — who likely would’ve loved to have found the guy’s heart pound wildly during a tense Jack Bauer scene

— “his heart rate and blood pressure barely budged,” according to MyFox Austin.

Does watching Jack Bauer try to outwit and outgun terrorists bent on destroying the United States with nuclear weapons stress you out? I wonder whether he was watching one of the recent, lackluster 24 episodes. whether he’d been watching the amazing first four hours of that season, however, I’ll bet they’d have different results.
