This is a study which shows that, surprise, surprise, immigrants to the US are likely to gain weight! Confirmation of the data from the shocking conclusions of the Doc: Super Size Me!
Post links to other worthless studies, which came to simple logical conclusions. http://www.improb.com/ig/ig-pastwinners.html <-- the Ig noble awards.

"...things I have neither seen nor experienced nor heard tell of from anybody else; things, what is more, that do not in fact exist and could not ever exist at all. So my readers must not believe a word I say." -Lucian on his book True History
"...They accept such things on faith alone, without any evidence. So if a fraudulent and cunning person who knows how to take advantage of a situation comes among them, he can make himself rich in a short time." -Lucian critical of early Christians c.166 AD From his book, De Morte Peregrini |

| LMAO! Now that's the kind of title I'm talkin' about. |
I would rather face a cold reality than delude myself with comforting fantasies.

'K, here's something:
quote:
NEWS
In the wake of a Japanese study that claims that computer games can damage children's brains, the European Leisure Software Publishers Association points to an earlier British study which shows that gaming can be as beneficial as taking part in physical sporting activity, according to ZDNet. The group says the Japanese study, which shows that gamers are not developing their front lobes--which affect behavior and the development of memory, emotions, and learning--is flawed. Instead, they say the British study, which says pretty much the exact opposite, is correct. You know, it'd be really interesting to see who funded these studies. I wonder if the University of Nintendo had anything to do with the British study ... hmmmmm?
I dunno. Guess you had to be there.
