I just went back and found this in my Yahoo email from 2006.
Do actions literally speak louder than words?
Does a combination of the Nintendo Power Pad, Doritos and Mountain Dew improve cognitive ability?
And exactly how does the Marquette Interchange Project affect booty call rituals?
These and other burning questions will be answered at Weird Science II: Your Physics is Dead.
Milwaukee’s second “science fair for grown-ups” features amateur researchers answering offbeat questions via the scientific method. The results of their wacky experiments will be displayed one night only in a vacant storefront on Broadway.
Here is a preview of some of the noteworthy projects, along with MKE’s own highly unscientific hypotheses.
Project Fool Proof
Question Can subjects go three hours doing nothing but eating a certain fruit or writing a certain sentence?
MKE’s hypothesis The fruit-eaters will be successful if they consume mangos. We could eat mangos all day.
Project The Chotch Factor: An Anthropological Study of the Evolution of the Douchebag
Question Why do guys who try to appear cool come across as losers?
MKE’s hypothesis The angle of one’s flipped collar is directly proportional to one’s lameness
