Weird findings of 2009
Please Login to Remove!
Ghosts, masturbation and weird findings | Herald Sun
I thought this article was neat to read, though the lack of citations for the sources of the information I don't like.
I put it in the sensitive area just because of the title.
Let me know what you guys think of the stuff we have discovered in 2009

Yeah, turns out if your mother kept you and your environment super sanitized, she wasn't doing you and your immune system any favors.

Serial coffee drinkers are more likely to feel "the presence of dead people", British researchers found. They asked students about their caffeine intake and those with the highest were also most likely to report seeing, or hearing, things that were not there.
