This is confirming older established research studies.

I'm not convinced. I'm going to have to do a bit of research myself over the next few weekends and will report back on my findings.

Validation does indeed require replication. Science!

Doing some early experimentation with Surly Coffee Bender. After finishing off the pint I do appear to be happier, somewhat more alert (thanks to the coffee), and I'm fairly certain I appear more attractive to women as a whole (which also may be due to the coffee). I'd have to say positive results so far, but this is merely a trial run.

Either way, fascinating topic.

Where do I sign up to be a lab rat for a study like that? Around here all they want is people with grass allergies.... Sheesh.

We should pool all the adacemics and docs on BT and put in for a Canadian Institutes of Health Research grant.
