The Monday Poll - Studies

[pjthompson]

Inspired by a true story...

I was so impressed by the thousands of dollars spent for a recent study on Narcissism and Celebrity by S. Mark Young of USC and Dr. Drew Pinsky of Dr. Drew's Loveline that I came up with a list of other boondoggles...that is, studies, that universities and talk show hosts might consider conducting.

And my thanks to sartorias for her contribution, ill use though I may have made of it.
