11) On The Origin Of My Furniture

Re: number 1: When I was working as a nanny in Switzerland several years ago, I had to do the grocery shopping, including buying cat food. The cans of Whiskas had an invitation on them to “Try our new recipe!” I figured that either the folks at Whiskas thought cats could read, or they were aware of a large human demographic consuming their product. Didn’t realize they might actually focus-test the stuff on humans.

Numbers 3, 5, and 9 sound like pretty essential research to me. They all deal with vital questions that I would like answered.

Number 8 – answer is yes. I had left facebook due to grief from my wife over old friends from highschool and college who were female and leaving messages asking how I was doing.

#9 seems like it could be marginally useful in criminal cases or pathology.

And any research showing the utility of fellatio has to be a good thing.

Actually, re: #2, honeybee dance behavior is one of the most complex forms of communication in insects. It makes a pretty good test case for the effects of drugs.

I’m pretty sure most cat food (and dog food, and probably some other pet foods) are tested by human employees of the pet food companies. They’re not looking for “does it taste good to a human”, they’re looking for a detailed description of HOW it tastes, and things like texture and smell. Such descriptions are difficult to get from non-speaking, illiterate animals, after all, and quality control by having somebody eat it and describe it is probably much cheaper than sophisticated analytical chemistry that would tell you the same result (“too much salt”).

“Myth: one can lose weight by drinking cold beer” – my HS research paper.

Looks like another radical conservative attack on the pristine world of science. Discover, how could you?

“5.) The “booty call”: a compromise between men’s and women’s ideal mating strategies. ”

Yes!
