Awesomely funny list of things that you already pretty much figured were true but we decided to spend money researching anyway. Hey, we have a glut of PhD students to keep busy!

Highlights:

  • Drinking increases the likelihood of unsafe sex
  • Smoking pot and driving isn’t safe
  • Shoppers don’t read nutrition labels
  • People aren’t really doing anything on the internet
