Healthier people live in wealthier neighborhoods!
Get the fuck out! You're telling me that just by living in a certain neighborhood that I'll be healthier? And it has nothing to do with access to better healthcare, public transportation/safety and the like? OMG
just up and moves from the ghetto
Good thinking, but be carefull which wealthy neihborhood you pick. Living near the beach causes skin cancer.
Lots of good ones on this page.
- Faraway Objects Are Tougher to See
The Study: “Why is it easier to see someone close than far away?†Psychonomic Bulletin & Review, Feb. 2005
The Findings: To clearly explain the relationship between blurriness and distance, University of Washington psychologist Geoffrey Loftus showed 24 student volunteers fuzzy images of George W. Bush, Julia Roberts and other famous faces. Then Loftus manipulated the size and clarity of the images and noted at what distance participants recognized them. “We found that blurring the [image] is an appropriate way of simulating details you’ll lose by standing far away and by how much,†he concludes.
Why Bother? “I like to quantify things,†Loftus explains. “It makes me feel more secure.†Beyond that, his tests, which were funded by the National Institute of Mental Health, yielded a mathematical formula that precisely correlates blurriness to distance. Loftus, who has been called to trial as an expert witness on the reliability of perception, says his equation can serve as a tool to help jurors at criminal trials simulate the accuracy of eyewitness accounts.

just up and moves from the ghetto So the Canadian healthcare system doesn't provide equal access to healthcare? Might as well be states then.
If only you knew how true that was.
I've heard that most people drive on busy streets for some reason.
apparently if you get a chill, you have more chance of getting a cold...
finally, scientifically proven.
so does this mean blind people masterbate more?

may i also draw your attention to the "how computers model climate" image. what are they using? a fucking bbc b?
they blame global warming on one man?
I may have to spend a little time researching this. I want to know what the climate increase has been in the last 100 years - or the previous 100 years.
Whilst I am not discounting man's contribution, I am still open-minded enough to think that natural climate change is being lumped in with 'man's contribution', which could be painting a much harsher picture.
If I were to believe every 'scientific study', I would accept that I lived in the noisiest place in England, which is (of course) complete and utter horse-cunt. The study measure's isolated points seemingly chosen at random by the study-takers.
One report does not make something fact.

This just in: animals watch out for other predators while they eat.
"We expect this to apply to birds as well," said Bednekoff, although wild birds are harder to study with the same experimental approach because they can fly away with their food.
That is the most awesomenest quote by a scientist ever.
Sigh. Things are always darkest just before they go black.
