There are so many scientific studies out there. Some seem silly and a bit useless:
A study that proved that elephants (like apes and dolphins) can recognize themselves in a mirror
A study that showed that strangers could match husband to wife from photographs only from those that had been married a long time -- proving that the longer you are together the more you look alike
A study that proclaimed that men are funnier than women because they have more testosterone
A study found that herring produce a high frequency underwater sound eminating from their butts (or just say it they had gas) that is a form of communication and helps them form a protective shoal at night
One study showed that there is not scientific relationship between the size of a man's penis and his shoe size
From these examples I have one I would like to propose.
I believe that there is a correlation between top level endurance athletes and body hair in men, particularly chest hair. I present photographic evidence for a thesis study that minimal or no chest hair in men leads to top flight elite level athletes, particularly cyclists (I find it scary and unneccessary to consider the same hypothesis for women athletes although the East Germans in the 70's and 80's would have provoked an opposite hypothesis for women).
I am confident that this research is significant in scope to propose a formal scientific study. I am perfectly willing to dedicate myself to studying this hypothesis. I realize it will take careful study, hundreds of photographs of cyclists with their shirts off, hundreds of hours of travel to remote and exotic locations to catch up with said cyclists, and intense study and research. Even with all of this I am prepared to dedicate myself to this rather arduous task.Anyone else in?
Could leave you gagging - some of those were not pretty. But you've always been willing to go that extra step for your work. All that travel - hmmm - need an assistant?
ReplyDeleteYou go girl ~ sounds like a very worthwhile study :-) I could be your "secretary" of sorts and write your findings down so you could dedicate your time to the "study" :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm with mom - especially that pasty white guy with the extreme tan lines. Dude needs to hit the gym. If I took my shirt off and looked like that, I wouldn't take it off.
ReplyDeleteDon't cyclists shave their body hair? Or is that just swimmers?
