Another study that was a waste of money

Bobby Sawyer Not Bobby Sawyer circa 1987

In news that really isn’t that shocking...med students have more "partners" than math students. I am not sure why someone would actually spend money studying this when they could have just relied on the tried and true stereotype. Look at Captain Awesome vs. Chuck in the hit NBC comedy "Chuck". Captain Awesome (med student) gets the hottie while Chuck (math major) gets the Nerd Herd. The study also found that the more sex people have the worse grades they got. Again, does this shock anyone?

The student body president at Cambridge (where the study was conducted) couldn’t help but make fun of the math students’ priorities with a line that sounds like he spent three hours thinking of and couldn’t wait to use:

“It's obvious that the mathematicians haven't found the winning formula yet.”

I could just see him trying to hold the laughter in while getting that one off (Judge Smails anyone?). So kids out there is blog land…as my Great-Grandma Ann would always tell my dad…”stay out of the bushes.” I am not entirely sure that applies to this scenario but I always like leaving you with some old person wisdom.
