My team has just completed a year long study of male and female perambulators to determine if they act and think differently when they walk past an open window. The window is on the second floor and visibility into the room itself is not possible past the first couple feet. To be seen one would have to be standing near the window. We observed and noted more subjects than you could shake a stick at.
Results: 1. 85% of the males took the time to look up toward the window. 15% of the females did.
2. The team of crack philosophers agreed on the following explanation:
The males looked up in hopes of what they might see. The women avoided looking up in fear of what they might see. Conclusion: men are dogs; Experimental philosophy is cool (though its hard to get paying gigs).

| Experimental Philosophy is very much like other behavioral science disciplines with the exception that we skip all the difficult steps. |

Delightfullyfunny
ReplyDeletei actually did this, an informal study for about a year and I think the Journal Article is pretty accurate. some guys just go fishing in their retirement. i guess i'm strange.
ReplyDeletei once did "research" that determined the sex of the subject by their reaction when offered liver at their supper.
ReplyDeleteFemales tended to reject the entree at the rate of 95%. Males rejection rate was less than 10 percent. The conclusion to the study was that liver acceptance could substitute for standard blood test gender tests with Olympic athlete i.e. you like liver? you're male.
