NY Times on a Roll

Yet another knee-slappin' humorous headline.

"Wearing red increases the chance of victory in sports, say British researchers who clearly do not follow the Cincinnati Reds. "

This one part, I thought, was interesting - as much as the article was half-silly throughout:

"The researchers suggested that their work might help to explain the fashion statement made by executives and politicians who wear bright red "power" ties, but they sounded bemused when asked whether their work could shed light on the phenomenon of Republican "red states" and Democratic "blue states." Still, Dr. Hill noted that on British electoral maps, red is the Labor Party's color. And like the Republican Party in the United States, Labor is on a winning streak."

That is hilarious :) I followed the comparison all the way down to the discussion of blue vs. red states, where I think red just increases the chances of being braindead.
