Don't you get tired of all the "findings" published by "scientists" that eith tell us something we already knew, or report something so idiotic we are left wondering why we invest good money in these people and their projects?
These people are always "scientists," not chemists, bologists, physicists, engineers, astronomers, not even involved in what we might call fringe sciences, archaeology, oceanology, climateology.
Yet another "scientific study" which was reported last week has failed to increase the sum total of human knowledge one iota.
Yet another scientist has shown an almost total unawareness of how things work in the real world combined with an astounding talent for not being able to see what is staring him in the effing face.
"Love at first sight," the report glibly states, (and what subject could be more worthy of the attentions of "scientists" than that? climate change, finding non polluting energy sources? No way.
According to the report, Love At First Sight apparently "seems to be a narcissistic effect".
Hang on, Narcissistic? Isn’t that being in love with yourself? Getting it off while standing naked in front of a full length mirror and stuff? When other people are involved it usually involves sex, far too messy for narcissists, and can even lead to relationships which are a no no to victims of self love and scientists alike.
Whenever I hear the word Narcissistic it reminds me of the old Joke about Mick Jagger being asked if he loved himself. , No, replied Mick, I could never get round to it."
According to Ben Jones of the Face Research Laboratory, Aberdeen University, we are likely to fall in love with people who look at us, smile and play with their ear lobe. This is because when somebody looks at us, smiles and fiddles with their ear lobe it give the impression they like us and that flatters our ego.
NO BEN, NO! You and your team are clearly suffering from TATTM (thinking about things too much) syndrome. When someone looks at us, smiles and makes subconscious little signals we respond because we think we are going to get a shag. Falling in love is very different, its all about chemistry.
Ben Jones has a lot to learn about chemistry. it is unlikely he will ever do so because the kind of chemistry involved does not happen in laboratories as anyone who has ever been in love will know.

Scientists? Getting off in front of a full length mirror? No, you know how scientists are. They would get off in front of the webcam while watching themselves on the monitor. A mirror is too intimate.
I've read that too, but I think the psychologists who promote the idea confuse narcissism with self obsession. That goes against the Freudian POV but as my psychologist friend and I like to sing...
"They tried to tell us we're too Jung" :-)
Thanks, if you come by again, try not to be first - that way you get to see the whacky comments I get.
