It turns out that the initials that comprise your name might have some effect on how long you live. A 1999 study from the University of California analyzed a bunch of names and found that people who had initials associated with positive things (A.C.E., or V.I.P.) tended to live almost five years longer than most people, and definitely more than those who had “bad initials” (D.I.E., or P.I.G.).
The bad group averaged about two fewer years in their lifespans. This trend applied to almost all kinds of things that would kill a person, be it disease, or suicide, or wasp attacks, meaning that all of those factors were less of a factor with the positively initialed group and were not skewed by race or gender factors.
So it seems that having a positive name means you’ll likely think more highly of yourself. And some weird trends did show up. Of the 2,287 males in the “negatively named” group, 79 committed suicide, as opposed to only six in the positive group. Even accidental death percentages were higher in the bad group. But just know that we think the world of you, and nothing and no one can change that, Aaron Stanley Stankiewicz.
Have A Bigger Butt (Ladies)
Through all the eons of history and all the human advancements in science, it’s taken until recently to find out something we had an inkling about all long: big butts are truly wonderful. And so, during the course of these legitimate studies to scientifically articulate just why, imagine the reactions when they discovered they would have to study the rear ends of women.
That’s just what they did at Oxford University; the study claims that females with bigger donkadonks have lower levels of cholesterol and more omega-3 fatty acids, which seems counterintuitive with a larger, fatter body part. A large butt also has a relation to leptin levels in the body, which is good by itself at regulating weight, and other hormones with antidiabetic properties that also fight inflammation and OH GOD, THE FEMALE BUTT IS BASICALLY MAGIC.
The top researcher of the bottom study spoke to the fact that they’ve known for some time that fat distribution is critical to overall health, but “it is only very recently that thigh fat and a large hip circumference have been shown to promote health; that lower body fat is protective by itself.” So there you go — maybe Aaron Stanley Stankiewicz can finally have a better image of himself.
