...Dear god, they had to do a survey to find that out?
Here's another: People that play a lot of World of Warcraft rather then excercising and eat McDonalds a lot have more trouble with pooping then people that eat berries, take ballet-lessons and get an enema every three f#cking hours. Can I be in science week now?

wait...wait a minute...are they saying that exercising your mind instead of sitting in front of a television 10+ hours a day helps your mind develop?

Fucking.

If you think this story is astounding then you should have seen the one on msnbc.com where scientists have discovered that due to pollution polar bear testicles are shrinking.

My favorite is "heavy drinkers found it more difficult to recall names." Gee, wonder why that could be?

New online survey of 100,000 people shows that 100% of the population uses the internet.
