ERROR - HTTP 404 - StanleyKoolPrik, on 05/06/2008, -3/+21Interesting. There are other gestures that endow men with special powers as well. Rubbing one's nuts, for instance, gives men the power to see deep into his own mind. And scratching one's ass endows the scratcher with the ability to see into future--albeit, that future, for the most part, involves more ass -scratching and nut-rubbing.

- inactive, on 05/06/2008, -0/+8its hard to type like this
- Hangly, on 05/06/2008, -3/+9I'm folding my arms right now and typing sideways.
- Berkana, on 05/06/2008, -3/+8At the Max Plank Institute for Random *****.
- justastatistic, on 05/06/2008, -2/+7Yet another completely meaningless research.
I know that a lot of sampling surveys and research are conducted in this manner but asking 40 random people to do a meaningless act must have a very high sampling inaccuracy rate. Hell, they could have done this survey by asking some participants to wear red underwear and concluded that 'Red underwear can help your brain'.
Whatever the conclusion, it's a sheer waste of time. People are not going to cross their hands more often thanks to this study. Why not spend time researching on stuff that will actually help somebody?
/rant - Startemus, on 05/06/2008, -0/+5Yeah right, that's why I did so well in school. Anytime I had my arms folded in class it was because I was sleeping.

Well there's your problem. - synyster, on 05/06/2008, -1/+6"a comment that is not supposed to happen has happened"
- inactive, on 05/06/2008, -4/+8reading a book has also been cited as one of the things that helps your brain.
- flipnboi, on 05/06/2008, -0/+4in fact, you'll be the one paying!
- harryterry, on 05/06/2008, -0/+4it's...not...WORKING!!!
- supersheep7, on 05/06/2008, -2/+6Ehh. The article makes it sound like this is a huge breakthrough. Anyone who's ever taken a intro to psychology class knows that it's widely accepted that bodily states inform mental states.
The results are kind of interesting, although paraphrased poorly by the title (does being more stubborn count as 'helping?'). - hseldon, on 05/06/2008, -3/+7This article is total bull crap.......oh, wow, had my arms folded when I figured that out!
- synyster, on 05/06/2008, -1/+5sadly only you
- petershultz, on 05/06/2008, -1/+4You can become one right now! But you won't get paid.
- cramming, on 05/06/2008, -2/+5I can pass all my mathematics classes now! Thank you pizzler!!
- lamiaconfitor, on 05/06/2008, -0/+3you are absolutely correct, its called Grad work.
- stepfresh, on 05/06/2008, -1/+4I did this and got a headache :S
- nyx210, on 05/06/2008, -1/+4"An error that is not supposed to happen has happened."
- ZurMacht, on 05/07/2008, -0/+3How can I masturbate and fold my arms at the same time?
- mijelh, on 05/06/2008, -1/+4"The mere act of folding your arms [...] activates an unconscious desire to succeed"
to succeed with.. folding my arms??? - chrgrose, on 05/06/2008, -2/+5I call *****. Its probably more a manifestation of various personalities. Someone flailing their arms around probably isn't as receptive to information as someone relaxingly crossing their arms.
- CrimsonBlur, on 05/06/2008, -1/+4While at first I thought this had to be an Onion article, the research method seems sound. They're basically saying that crossing your arms induces a certain mental state, not that crazy really.
If you think about it, if a certain mental state causes you to cross your arms, it would make sense that your body would then be conditioned to enter that mental state when you have your arms crossed. The people saying this article is total BS obviously didn't read it. - supersheep7, on 05/06/2008, -1/+3...who?
- inactive, on 05/06/2008, -0/+2folding your arms and moving your arms back and forth will help a person to succeed only in one thing. fapfapfapfpppppppp
- cramming, on 05/06/2008, -0/+2After folding my arms, I have concluded voice recorders would be quite useful in this situation.
- cramming, on 05/06/2008, -0/+2I believe so. We must find a way to write down theories, and social upheaval causing paradigms we create while our arms are folded.

- nienhulm, on 05/06/2008, -0/+2This one might be up for an Ig-nobel award.

- HakonD, on 05/06/2008, -0/+2Keep your arms folded while I run and buy one!
- synyster, on 05/06/2008, -0/+2i guess most of the people been reading the wrong book
- CrimsonBlur, on 05/06/2008, -0/+2The subjects were chosen randomly. I love how so many of the comments to scientific studies include comments from people stating the most blatantly obvious things the scientists would account for, and everyone diggs them up like they're friggin' geniuses.
- Drizzle, on 05/06/2008, -0/+2As this story hit the front page of digg, thousands of people across the globe simultaneously crossed their arms. Did you?
- iindigo, on 05/06/2008, -0/+2First thing I thought of as well...
Light: "I chose this table in the back of the coffee shop so people won't bother you about sitting that way."
L: "It's not that I have a choice. If I don't sit like this, I lose 20% of my thinking capacity." - Berkana, on 05/06/2008, -0/+2http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L_%28Death_Note%29
He's a character from Deathnote. Watch it. Two episodes, and you'll be hooked. - larthallor, on 05/06/2008, -0/+2Looks like Peter Norton was ahead of his time!

- Sirlolalot, on 05/06/2008, -0/+1Somehow i dont think this will work when im playing battlefield.
- oceanographer, on 05/06/2008, -0/+1No wonder my wife always wins the argument, am i right fellas?
- tushyd, on 05/06/2008, -0/+1Um, people in India and Eastern Asia have been doing this since ancient times.
