The stupidest studies of British scientists. TOP 10. Interesting facts (12 photos + 1 video)

Hi all!

If previously the concept of British scientists meant the best minds of humanity, then in recent years this expression has become synonymous with uselessness and wasted time and money.

Today we will introduce you to the 10 funniest evidence from British scientists.

The number of teeth in old age is influenced by a person’s financial situation.

The scientists' findings are disappointing: poor people are more likely than their rich peers to suffer from dental problems; they are more likely to develop caries and gum disease. Another study suggests that each tooth lost affects the ability to remember information.





Latent homosexuals are more likely to violate traffic rules

The results of this study led to widespread unrest among UK drivers, but British scientists insist on the veracity of the data obtained: observations of 516 drivers prove that latent gays are more likely to violate traffic rules than others.



Thin people eat less

Many years of work by British scientists, designed to once and for all find out why some people suffer from excess weight and others do not, has finally led to stunning results. Scientists have proven that weight depends on the amount of food consumed. It's simple: thin people are thin because they eat less.



Mat relieves pain

Several hundred British people took part in the study. Half of the subjects had to put their hand in ice water and keep their mouth shut. The other half were allowed to voice their grievances. As a result, it turned out that people who swore experienced less pain.



Ducks love rain

In order to prove this fact, obvious to many farmers, British scientists had to spend three years and 300 thousand pounds sterling. As a result, it turned out that domestic ducks prefer rain among all methods of bathing, and in its absence they agree to be content with a shower that imitates this natural phenomenon.



A tin foil hat is useless against tracking from space

News that could shock those who believe that tin foil hats can protect against scanning by aliens. British scientists, after conducting a series of studies, found that such structures not only do not suppress or reflect signals from space, but, on the contrary, enhance them.



Old mobile phones help plant growth

It turns out that by burying old phones in pots of plants, you can make them grow faster. True, this only works with certain types. For example, it has been proven that sunflowers grow best in such an environment. Apparently, British scientists still have to conduct additional research, because it is not yet clear which phone model is most suitable for these purposes.



Santa Claus is the result of mushrooms

Lapps living in Lapland often drank the urine of reindeer, which in turn ate fly agarics. This led to hallucinations. One of them, British scientists believe, is everyone’s favorite Santa Claus. To prove this theory, scientists cite the fact that the red clothes and white beard of the fairy-tale character very much resemble the color of a hallucinogenic mushroom.



2Dinosaur intestinal gases changed the climate

Scientists estimate that dinosaurs released over 500 million tons of methane into the air every year. This led to an increase in temperature on the planet by about 10℃, and also contributed to an increase in the greenhouse effect. The biggest contribution to the formation of a warm climate was made by brontosaurs.



London ladybugs are more likely to become infected with sexually transmitted infections

In 2003, scientists found that by the end of May, almost 90% of all ladybugs in the capital of Great Britain were infected with a fungal infection. Moreover, in other cities of Foggy Albion, things are not so sad. British scientists don't seem to care much about what's happening in other countries. Most likely, they are now busy searching for a method of contraception suitable for local cows.



And finally. British scientists have proven that they are the smartest scientists on the planet. It sounds like a joke, but such a study was actually conducted. The above evidence, of course, casts doubt on the veracity of such a statement, but maybe this is just a distraction, and soon British scientists will make truly important discoveries?!
