[OT & Strange] Huzzah for Science?

[Mark Chance]

Dr. Denise Chen of the Monell Chemical Science Center in Philadelphia persuaded volunteers to strap gauze pads to their armpits for ten hours. She then gave the pads to university students and assessed their mood before and after sniffing them. The students did not know where the odors had come from. The armpits belonged to three age groups—over seventy, early twenties, and three to eight. Dr. Chen discovered that those who had inhaled from old women’s armpits ended up in a better mood. Young men’s armpits had a depressing effect. While female armpit odors were generally favored over male, the very best effects were produced by sniffing the grannies.

Some times you start reading a thread and wish you did not!

Why does this sound like a plot for a new TV reality show!

 

[Thresher]

I dunno about trusting any statistics from people who stick pads under their arms and then willingly have a good snort!

"Sniff this and tell me how you feel Mr Thresher"
"Smells like B.O"
"How does this make you feel?"
"Not real good, what is it?"
"B.O"
"Call the police! The Dr is mad!"

"Hmm, guess I'll chalk that one up as a negative reation..."

Its just a bit to weird... no actually its just a bit wrong

This is just odd. And you know, the sad thing is that these "research scientists" probably got a huge government grant to find out if sniffing granny b.o. made us happier than sniffing grungy 20 y.o. male b.o. *sigh*
