  • masterm1nd, on 06/09/2008, -10/+47Wow, I'm betting money this will be a comment graveyard.
  • semvhu, on 06/11/2008, -2/+1I have never seen such consistency in negative digg comments in one Digg story.
    Epic fail.
  • Jonno549, on 06/09/2008, -3/+1Yeah, you should have
  • masterm1nd, on 06/09/2008, -5/+3Lol, nice try.
  • Terr01, on 06/09/2008, -4/+1"Eating a cheese sandwich before entering the boss's office could therefore give your brain that vital edge."

    I highly doubt it. I'm pretty sure it takes quite a bit more than than ten minutes for (A) your body to digest that sandwich (B) tryptophan to be converted to serotonin (C) serotonin to increase in your brain.
  • Focher, on 06/09/2008, -4/+1I just have to know...

    Is there something that isn't nasty when combined with vaginal yeast?
  • mal1964, on 06/09/2008, -4/+1While you guys keep digging it down, I'll be in the back I gotta pinch a loaf
  • mal1964, on 06/09/2008, -5/+1Snitch!

  • inactive, on 06/09/2008, -7/+3and dugg down!
  • mal1964, on 06/09/2008, -5/+1Its not true, abben is just pulling your finger.
  • ZeroIce, on 06/09/2008, -8/+3It's percent, not per cent. Silly Brits.
  • mmmmmbiscuits, on 06/09/2008, -8/+3Um no, it's not your fault she got pregnant, but not for the reason you think...
  • supremegoat02, on 06/09/2008, -7/+2So when my fiancee is crying for no apparent reason I should just push chocolate and cheese?
  • gonediggin, on 06/09/2008, -6/+1How to get serotonin in your diet

    Serotonin is manufactured in the body from the amino acid tryptophan, which is present in most protein-based foods. High levels of tryptophan are found in cheese, meat, soya beans, sesame seeds, chocolate, oats, bananas, dried dates, milk and salmon.
  • inactive, on 06/10/2008, -5/+0My mom said that sperm has seratonin in it.
  • Devotia, on 06/09/2008, -15/+9You win one internets!
  • inactive, on 06/09/2008, -10/+4Yep I'm ready to be dugg down bring on the storm!!!!!
  • abben, on 06/09/2008, -7/+1rickroll GOD DAMMNIT
  • topgigmedia, on 06/09/2008, -11/+51st off how did this make the front page?

    The last part is inaccurate... You feel commonly tired after eating because a good majority of your blood is rushing to our stomach to digest the food. Whether or not you have tryptophan in your system or not is irrelevant.
  • mal1964, on 06/09/2008, -8/+2That's ok my old boss told me to ***** on my own time.
  • cobainirvana, on 06/09/2008, -8/+2that cheese must have gone straight to your penis
  • StonedFetus, on 06/09/2008, -9/+3I totally just served up some cheese/ meat / banana snack platter for my munchies. went to my CPU to digg, and bam! an article about the food i am consuming.

    haha, i am stoked
  • Thumbz, on 06/09/2008, -7/+1I feel so much classier eating cheese now.
  • lizlemoncello, on 06/09/2008, -12/+6I see, all of my life's failings stem from being a vegan.

    I should have known better!
  • KingGorilla, on 06/09/2008, -9/+3Hopefully finding shelter in here will protect my comment from the mass burying.
  • meekamoo, on 06/09/2008, -7/+1i expanded all the comments below threshold expecting to find many lame cheesy puns

    but nooo.. i find utter crap. what is it about this article that brings out the worse comments in the world?
  • StonedFetus, on 06/09/2008, -6/+0haha, you are a humorous chap.
  • daschupa, on 06/09/2008, -7/+1quick someone take a screenshot and submit it, front page here we come.
  • djchester, on 06/09/2008, -8/+2This article tells me pizza is good for me right?
  • Jonno549, on 06/09/2008, -7/+1eckies ftw
  • agentbob, on 06/09/2008, -8/+1these comments suck.
  • ysss, on 06/09/2008, -8/+1"NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM" - The sound of a true thinker.
  • Nocturnal, on 06/09/2008, -8/+1So if this is the case, then people who are on SSRIs should be making much better decisions, no? They have all that serotonin floating around in their brain. Doesn't it make sense that this would occur? Weird...
  • geobay, on 06/09/2008, -11/+4It's Tryptophantastic!
  • inactive, on 06/09/2008, -10/+2I just puked a little rainbow in my mouth.
  • clickwir, on 06/09/2008, -12/+4There's not enough tryptophan in an entire turkey to have any effect on a human. The "sleepy" effect is simply because you ate too much and are in a comfortable enough setting. Inaccurate.
  • CaptSnuffy, on 06/09/2008, -10/+2I was so worried that this wouldn't have anything to do with cheese.
  • slightlygifted, on 06/09/2008, -10/+2but cheese also makes you constipated.
  • holyskeleton, on 06/09/2008, -11/+1the cheese is a lie. i mean the cake...ah ***** it.
  • hierophantus, on 06/09/2008, -11/+15-HTP FTW. Gets you your tryptophan and also helps you sleep.
  • RyanBlack, on 06/09/2008, -12/+1You know what is nasty? Vaginal yeast and cheese.
  • mal1964, on 06/09/2008, -12/+1Here's a job cutting cheese.
