Title: Great Science!
Post by: midnight Target on October 15, 2003, 11:02:14 AM
Finally they decide to study something worthwhile!!

The



5 second rule! (http://web.aces.uiuc.edu/news/list.cfm?NID=2467)

Among Clarke's findings:

--Seventy percent of women and 56 percent of men are familiar with the 5-second rule, and most use it to make decisions about tasty treats that slip through their fingers.

--University floors are remarkably clean from a microbial standpoint.

--Women are more likely than men to eat food that's been on the floor.

--Cookies and candy are much more likely to be picked up and eaten than cauliflower or broccoli.

--And, if you drop your food on a floor that does contain microorganisms, the food can be contaminated in 5 seconds or less.

And-- if you drop your food on the floor that contains the family dog, the food can and will disappear into said canine's mouth within 1.5 seconds, usually sooner.
