More Bull from the New York Times


In an article entitled "Abstract Thoughts? The Body Takes Them Literally," the New York Times claims that thinking about the past or future can be deduced by one's posture. By looking at the posture of forty-one people, the Lying Times asserts that an attitudinal difference of two to three millimeters can reveal whether one is thinking about the future or the past.

Two millimeters. Not two centimeters, which is less than an inch. How much of a change in attitude is two millimeters for a person standing 5'6," which is about average for a human adult? And these dipshits can tell what you're thinking by the way you're standing? The Big Feed calls Bullshit on the New York Times.

Forty-one people. The New York Times. I'm sure it's nearly as accurate as their assertions on global warming. Is there really any reason for people outside of NYC to read this sub-tabloid rag?
