Somehow I ended up clicking on an MSN article about 10 Embarrassingly Obvious Health Studies. There are a few studies related to finance and I’m a bit amazed that money was spent to find out these things.
Cigarettes & Money – Quitting smoking will increase your wealth.
Poor Kids & Doctor Visits – Poor kids visit the doctor less.
Why would they study these obvious things?
So while the end result might be a laughably obvious study, [Marc] Abrahams [editor of the Annals of Improbable Research] says, “Some people end up studying those obvious things [to get funding], and use part of that money to study something important really quietly.â€

I wonder what sort of quiet studying they are doing while proving that beer goggles exist (yes, that’s a study they mention in the article)? LOL.
