Scientific Research That Could Have Been Avoided
indian_rediff writes "An article from Friday's Wall Street Journal (reprinted in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette) details how some of the research being done by scientists ends up simply stating the obvious. Their observations make for some interesting and hilarious reading." From the article: "Want job satisfaction? A 'careful choice of career is the key,' researchers concluded in a paper this spring in the Journal of Economic Psychology. Choosing a career based on a well-lubricated encounter at a bar, it turns out, may not be the most promising route to career satisfaction. People who choose their jobs carefully are more likely to be satisfied with them than those who take a flying leap into the great unknown."
It gives someone the oppurtunity to look at the scientist and state: "THANK YOU CAPTAIN OBVIOUS!"
time is a perception of a being's consciousness
time is your 6th sense, the wierd ones are 7+
Scientific research shows that scientific research could have been avoided.
Ugh, now my head hurts. I have to go lie down.

Unless you want a job as a professional skydiver, that is...
Thankfully, in this market, the employee should not have a problem finding job satisfaction. There is no reason you can't take a few months or years off to find that perfect job. And considering how there are so many unfilled high-paying, enjoyable jobs in this industry, any employer will be thrilled to have your interest.
Most fortunate of all, the employee has all the power as they do not have any necessary expenses and there is always an employer willing to pay more than the current offer. Employers care about your satisfaction, too. The last thing they would ever want to do is upset your job satisfaction by outsourcing your entire team, division or city to an offsore center for cheaper wages and expenses.
Yes, my friends, glory in the simplicity of overwhelming demand for technical expetise and the underwhelming presence of employables.

Is reading Slashdot considered research?

No, but it's a great way to have fun while getting paid for doing research! ("Just water for me tonight, I'm the designated-control.")One line blog. I hear that they're called Twitters now.
In 1993, the American Government funded a study to see why the head of a
man's penis was larger than the shaft. After one year and $180,000.00,
they concluded that the reason the head was larger than the shaft was to give
the man more pleasure during sex.
After the US published the study, Germany decided to do their own study.
After $250,000.00, and 3 years of research, they concluded that the reason
was to give the woman more pleasure during sex.
Poland, unsatisfied with these findings, conducted their own study. After
2 weeks and a cost of around $75.46, they concluded that it was to keep a
man's hand from flying off and hitting him in the forehead.
The Internet is full. Go Away!!!
I'm a big fan of the "there's no such thing as a stupid question" philosophy.

Scientists have now discovered the secret to why blondes have more fun.
