I already knew that, but I'm a Pisces and we're naturally skeptical.

MODERATORS
I'm resisting this knowledge as it's contrary to what I was previously led to believe. As a Taurus I'm gullible, headstrong and not terribly clever.
And Pisces are the scum of the earth.
As a Gemini, I’m of two minds about the whole concept.
That's okay, I'm actually supposedly a Cancer, but the name doesn't lend itself well to jokes.
Well in other languages you'd be crabs, and that's no laughing matter either.
Oh good. A study. This will definitely change the minds of believers
Of course it won't. But I am glad they did the study.
It’s funny how they have to redo the study like every 10 years or so to remind everybody how dumb they are.
Yeah I think the difference between this and like car farts research is people actually need some references for people who otherwise won't use common sense. Its sorta like the regular bets on psychics if they can prove their ability in a controlled setting that no one wins.
I'm honestly surprised, I would have expected a placebo effect in those who strongly care.
Shocking
Stay tuned for our next story: water is wet!
Such a gemini thing to say.
As a Scorpio, I’m not shocked, but I’m weirdly turned on.
Christ. I’d be embarrassed to be in this guy’s department. What absolute worthless shit.
Damn, now I’m embarrassed.
