About Milgram's 37:  It is actually a home-made alcoholic beverage.
Just kidding...Honestly, Milgram was an experimental psychologists that 
persuaded 37 subjects to painfully, even lethally, shock strangers - an
electric chair type set-up.  He was basically studying the obedience of humans
to authority figures.  Needless to say, this experiment was the basis of many
ethics in research discussions.
