"A spammer can potentially make $7,000 to $9,500 a day."


A Berkeley study commandeered part of a botnet that was responsible for a large chunk of the internet's spam and turned it into a research tool. The researchers instructed the infected computers to send out spam that directed people to fake storefronts, which the study then monitored. The researchers netted only 28 "sales" in 26 days -- a 0.00001% conversion rate -- but they'd infiltrated only about 1.5% of the actual botnet. Their final conclusion was that whoever was responsible for the entire botnet could be pulling in $7,000 a day, and $9,500 during active periods, although they stressed that determining actual profit from that figure would be difficult.

"Eating at night contributes disproportionately to weight gain."


An experiment at Ohio State University aimed to emulate humans' late-night TV watching and computer usage by exposing mice to light throughout the restful phase when they typically would have been asleep. Though the mice ate the same amount as the mice who got ordinary sleep, they ate half their food during their now-wakeful rest phase, and summarily gained weight. When their food availability was restricted to their "day" phase only, the mice exposed to the nighttime light lost weight, implying that night eating contributed to weight gain -- even if they'd have eaten the same amount of food over the course of the day anyway.

Id believe that. Body is in rest mode, not burning the fat you eat. Cool study...

"Finger length is correlated to testosterone levels."


A Concordia University study of 413 male and female students found that in men, the ratio between the ring finger and the index finger is affected by prenatal testosterone. A longer ring finger indicated a likelihood of higher testosterone levels and a higher likelihood of risk-taking behavior. The Concordia study noted the risk-taking connection only in male subjects perhaps, its authors suggested, because risk-taking doesn't have the same status as a mating behavior for women.

yep read about this. A biologist was able to correctly predict the winners in a track and field competition 99.9% of the time, based on the ratio between the index and the ring finger I think it was. Cool study.

So if your index finger is way bigger than your ring finger, you just might be a homo.


:lol:

everybody go measure

"Humor helps you solve problems more effectively."


Neuroscientists observing the ability of subjects to solve word problems found that people were most likely to suddenly come up with answers if they were amused (having just watched a comedy routine). Study author Mark Beeman suggested that levity allows the brain to make more remote connections than it otherwise would, which helps us arrive at those moments of insight. While imaging the brains of subjects who were preparing to solve puzzles, his study also noted that the most successful subject's brains exhibited a state of positivity.

"As much as 50% of men may carry some form of HPV."



A study at the H Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute in Tampa tested 1,100 adult males and found that 50% had human papillomavirus (HPV) infections. There are hundreds of types of HPV, and many cause no known symptoms, but the high incidence of HPV in men indicates that men are less able than women to be healed from an HPV infection as they age. The study concluded that every year, 6% of men will contract HPV 16 -- the strain that causes cancer in women and men. HPV is a sexually-transmitted virus and the most common cause of cervical cancer in women. It's also the most common cause of other types of cancer in both genders.
