There are way too many useless studies done by academia insitutions

I saw this in Cosmopolitian. And why do I read Cosmo? Because I can.

Beer goggles are a myth!

Cosmo---In a groundbreaking discovery, scientists have found that there's not such thing as "beer goggles" (they were taking a break from finding a cure for cancer, you see). In fact, alcohol actually has the opposite effect, and makes men see women as less attractive. Researchers asked 240 men and women (half of whom had consumed alcohol, to varying effects) to rate photos of women on their attractiveness, and to try to guess their ages. While women found it more difficult to guess the ages of the women in the photos when inebriated, men did not.

Dr Vincent Egan, from the University of Leicester, said: "This study suggests that alcohol consumption and make-up use do not interfere with how old we perceive someone to be.

"Another interesting finding was that overall participants who drank alcohol actually rated all the women in the photos as less attractive, compared to the participants who hadn't drunk alcohol. This seemingly flies in the face of the commonly held notion of 'beer goggles'."

The lesson? Don't get tanked - you'll find that guy at the bar a lot more enticing.

This makes no fucking sense. Anyone who had ever drank if their life knows what beer goggles are. And there fucking real.

I would love to see how Dr. Vincent Egan proposed this study for grant money. Something along the lines of getting people drunk and see if they hump ugly people.

I think everyday I read about some useless study that some professor does at some school that is absolutely useless. What possibly benefits do useless studies have to society? For awhile I thought they provide none.

But I figure some that douche will need to do a study on everything. If something hasn't been done before, then someone will do it. That is just the nature of useless studies.

If your going to wasting money, might as well do it scientifically. Because what else would colleges be spending money on, education?

Here are some useless studies that I would like to see done.

• The study on why fat people move so slowly, unless there is a open seat on the train, in which they turn instantly into a gazelle.
• The study on how many dingleberries a adult male produces in a year.
• The study on how some vegetarian's are fat.
• The study on why there are still Americans that don't believe 9/11 was a inside job. (really this boggles my mind)
• The study on why girls say one thing, but actually mean something else.
• The study on why I hate fat people.
• The study on where socks go when you wash your clothes.
• The study on why nut jobs continue to think corn chips, stains in windows, poo stains on the floor, and other shit are actually imagines of Jesus.
  

So these are a couple useless studies that I would like to see done. I figure that stupid studies will always get done, so instead of always bitching about them. Might as well throw my ideas out there, and hope one of my studies get a paper written.

What did I do?

The weekend is over, and I am sure people are wondering what I did. I ended up getting my twirl on and going to a Phish show.
EDIT: If you dance they will come.

What to do?

I think for the first time I have nothing to write about. Sure I can always blog about silly crap. Like making fun of this alien cult that want to built a Las Vegas theme park.

(LAS VEGAS, Nv) -- The Raelian Movement is announcing plans to build a UFOland in Las Vegas where visitors can attend a Happiness Academy and see a full-size replica of a UFO.

But some days I just ain't feeling it. And today is one of those days. I thought I was going to take today off from the blog game. You know the game can wear you down, but I said fuck it.

The larger question is what the hell am I going to do this weekend? There is 100% chance that I will be drunk, and that will probably be very soon. But where do I consume mass quantities of alcohol and with who? That is my problem at the moment.

I could go to a beer fest this weekend. Last time I went to one it was fun, but the person I went with then has now turned into this person.

I could lame out and catch up on some summer movies, but that is just lame.

I could do some reading, and catch up on some blog stuff. But where is the excitement for that.

I could do something exciting and become a superhero. Apparently this is quite popular now.

CNN---As people become disillusioned from financial woes and a downtrodden economy and look to put new purpose in their lives, everyday folks are taking on new personas to perform community service, help the homeless and even fight crime.

"The movement is growing," said Ben Goldman, a real-life superhero historian. Goldman, along with Chaim "Life" Lazaros and David "Civitron" Civitarese, runs the New York-based Web site Superheroes Anonymous as part of an initiative dedicated to organizing and making alliances with superhero groups.

But I am just way to pretty to be risking life and limb on the mean streets. Plus I am just a pussy, that will end up injured. Even though I would probably look good in tights.

So I am left with a lot of questions on what I should do? This is the first weekend in a while I don't have anything planned, and I am not sure how to handle it. Most likely I will sit on my ass.

Feel free to offer suggestions.

Some enhanced videos.

Media now picking up the Champ story

Champ mystery grows

Burlington Free Press---A cell-phone video of a “creature” that appears to be swimming in Lake Champlain near Oakledge Park in Burlington last weekend is sparking renewed discussion about “Champ,” the lake’s legendary monster. The nearly 2-minute video, taken at sunrise Sunday by Burlington resident Eric Olsen, 37, shows an object moving across the mouth of the small cove and beach area at the park.

At several points during the video, the object appears to raise its “head” a foot or more above the water’s surface. At other times a portion of what appears to be a torso, several feet in length, also can been seen.

“I was just filming the water when, out of the corner of my eye, I saw something move, and I turned toward it and tried to zoom in on it,” said Olsen, a Web site developer and musician.

Glad to see that some attention is being drawn to this video. I will still say that it is some sort of quadruped, probably a deer. But here some some screen shots from the video.


When you compare these photos with the famous 1977 photo of Champ it does look a little similar.

Personally I always thought this photo was fake.

I am overdue for someone to sue me

Blogger jailed in Anna Nicole Smith defamation suit

Breitbart---A real estate agent in Houston who blogged about Anna Nicole Smith was jailed for contempt last week in a defamation case brought by the late Playboy model's mother.

Legal experts said bloggers are increasingly the targets of such litigation, which are testing the bounds of free speech.

So I write a lot of crazy shit. So I figure it is only a matter of time before someone throws a lawsuit at me. I have been threaten before. Like the time I posted the cure for cancer. And the random shout out of a slander suit, from this post.

It is only a matter of time as I see it.

New video of Champ

I have a shit load going on this week so not to many posts. I don't want to hear any bitching. But this is fresh footage shot over the weekend in Vermont of Champ the Lake Monster. Here is the quote from the video.

I shot this video of SOMETHING in the lake at Oakledge Park on Sunday (05/31/09) early am (0530 or so). I don’t know what the eff it is but it’s definitely not normal…Was anyone else out and about around Oakledge on Sunday just after sunrise?



Very strange video. Tough to tell if it is a hoax or not, I suppose someone could be swimming underneath the water, but is that worth it for a youtube video?

It also could be a female moose swimming across the water. It is defiantly moving on its own so it is not a log. I will try and get some zoomed in stills later.
