More research foolishness

One of the things I really enjoy is reading about nonsense research projects and much ballyhooed research that is poorly designed and executed. There was an article in today's paper that fits into the first category. It seems someone found that when you show male gamblers erotic pictures of females their gambling decisions suffer. Who would have thought? Not only that, they also made the startling finding that the distraction was exacerbated by higher testosterone levels.

Why didn't I come up with that project back in my research days?
