An awesome band with a true english pixie(allright, a half american half scottish brit with an adorable figure that most girls would die for) who is the hottest guy alive after Ville Valo. Next comes the Bassist, who Placebo fans have come to know as Stef, who makes a great couple with Brian(The lead singer) Stef looks mysterious and sexy but is homosexual so good news for the gays bad news for the girls. And finally theres Steve who is the only straight memmember of the band so he misses out on all the gay fun, but non the less we all love him and Placebo would not exsist without him. ~satanas dixit~
One great kick ass band that will always rock.

A pill given to hypochondriacts that makes them think it will cure them, even though it's an inactve pill with no effect. Some people just need attention to feel better, and a placebo does the job.
This lady had herself convinced she was so sick, that I gave her a placebo to appease her desire for medication.

1) A pill that contains nothing medically useful or harmful for the body, but is still meant to treat you using the placebo effect, which is
2) an as yet unproven effect where the body cures itself in the belief that it is going to be cured.
The placebo shows a success rate in nearly one third of the people it was tested on.

Innefective medication given to someone to psychologically make them well. They think that they have been given medication that makes them better so their mind makes themself get better because they think the drug is taking effect. Confusing.
Dr. Jimbob: We got a guy at the front desk complaining that he is critically ill. I don't think he is though, I mean I've checked him over and he's fine.

Dr. Thomas: Just give him a placebo, that should sort it.

Besides being a band a Placebo is also an ineffective dose masquerading as the real thing.
Although what the 'real thing' is, is subjective.
In Biology....
Amanda: "Hey Lu, what is a placebo?"
Lu: "An ineffective dose masquerading as the real thing"
Amanda: "Masquerading eh?"
Lu: "Yep"
Amanda: "Kay, Thanks"
