Third time on this site ... but two different forum pages, so it's cool.

First time I saw this. Instead up calling these people researchers we should call them Stupidsearchers.

IMHO...The real problem is not just the stupidity of the responders but that a university professor wasted time on this when she could have been doing research that benefited her students and society. Furthermore the research likely cost a significant amount of money above and beyond her salary. Time, tuition money and tax money WASTED!!!

I don't think it is a great study by any means, but the Daily Mail summary of it is completely inaccurate.

See other thread.
