Study found that opposites attract when it comes to money issues--people tight with their money often marry those who spend freely, creating huge problems for their marriage:

Study found that females are genetically predisposed to develop fears for potentially dangerous animals--baby girls only 11 months old associate photos of spiders with fear while baby boys do not. The study also points out that modern fears (fear of flying, injections, etc.) do not have any difference for boys and girls:

Study found that 400,000 American patients receive very high doses of radiation, more than the maximum annual exposure allowed for nuclear power plant employees. A cardiologist estimated that this probably results in cancer for tens of thousands of US patients. Some cardiologists encourage routine heart scans for patients without any symptoms of heart disease--the increase in CT and PET scans causes the accumulation of radiation in patients:

I remember how whenever I was on a college campus there were credit card applications everywhere, just asking to give credit to college students. Starting in February, people under 21 years old will have to get a parent or other adult to co-sign for their credit card and they will have to show that they have the money to pay off their credit cards on their own (*not* counting money from their parents). Credit card companies are banned from offering anything tangible like a free t-shirt or pizza for any application taken near a college campus or a college-related event:

I don't think that it would be a great idea for everybody to follow "Radical Honesty" and end all filters between our brains and mouths. Telling your boss your plans to start your own company would be career suicide. If you have fantasies about someone you are supposed to tell them and tell your wife? That is relationship suicide...and teenage boys would have to confess something every 5 seconds:
