News you can use


"The results revealed that young women in swimsuits performed significantly worse ... than those wearing sweaters. No difference were found for young men."

How about older men? Will they do math differently in sweaters or swimsuits?

too much time is spent on focusing on the damage to young women. What about the benefits to men ?

Mr roT said...

Yeah. I do math a lot better if surrounded by chicks in bikinis.

My math (if we could even call it that) is consistent regardless of whether I'm surrounded by bikini clad babes or not. ...it's just hard to stand up once finished with the calculations.

Is this why all the female math hotties gravitate to schools in the colder climes of the northeast than to San Diego State?

My Frontier Thesis said...

It's likely ecological as well as an objectification thing: they also might gravitate to colder climates because it's impossible to think clearly when it gets excessively comfortable.

At least that's how us Dakotans and Minnesotans justify living where we do.

I think a lot clearer in cold weather. Hate that we got so little of it this year. Boston is at about 45 degrees now. WTF is that? I'm moving to Hudson Bay and building a fence around to keep Canadians out.

My Frontier Thesis said...

Forty five degrees! Break out the bermuda shorts.

What is that babe reading? Quantum Theory? And, how comes the post doesn't have a "Babes" label, too?
