Did they really not know that? Could there have been a better use for that grant money? 60 years to find out happiness is contagious? I could have told you that in 3 words. Incredulous after hearing this report, I went to dumbresearchprojectsthathaveobviousoutcomesthaticannotbelieve
gotfunded.com to learn about more research going on in the world. Here is what I found.
One study is trying to prove that falling from a higher distance does more damage to the human body. They are studying roofers of 1,2, and 3-story houses to see who gets injured more: the guy falling off the one-story or the guy falling off the three-story house.
Another study is trying to prove that eating 84,000 calories a day while doing no physical exercise is detrimental to one's health.
I read about another study that is trying to prove the validity and necessity of seatbelts. I would hate to see the null hypothesis on this study.
But, the one I was most interested in is the climate study going on. Scientists are trying to prove that there is a link between latitude and climate. Preliminary reports are showing that the closer you are to the poles, the colder it gets. Fascinating. I can't wait to see the results of this one.

Interestingly enough as a side note I am actually a part of the calaoric consumption study.
Me too. I love it
