We were just discussing the Jack Bauer drinking game w/spazzygirl19, who, to prove the program's vast cultural impact, refuses to watch 24!!!!

In which tiki raves on about fad diets

Usual disclaimers apply, tiki actually is a real doctor, but not that kind of doctor!!! Anyways, been meaning to comment on this:

Atkins beats other diet plans in study

CHICAGO - The low-carb, high-fat Atkins diet gets high marks in one of the biggest, longest head-to-head studies of popular weight-loss plans, beating the Zone, the Ornish diet and even U.S. guidelines. Even so, critics say the results show how hard it is to lose weight and keep it off.

Overweight women on the Atkins plan lost more weight over a year than those on the low-carb Zone diet. And they had slightly better blood pressure and cholesterol readings than those on the Zone; the very low-fat, high-carb Ornish diet, and a low-fat, high-carb diet similar to U.S. government guidelines.

Stanford University researcher Christopher Gardner, the lead author, said the study shows that Atkins may be more healthful than critics contend.

Anyways, we went off to consult the original article (which you can find online here, though tiki can't guarantee you'll get to see it for free). If you haven't read an actual original research paper before, then by all means, you should, they're a load o' laughs.

( Science! )

Every time we do this, we get a different result

Your Personality is Very Rare (INFP)

Your personality type is dreamy, romantic, elegant, and expressive. Only about 5% of all people have your personality, including 6% of all women and 4% of all men You are Introverted, Intuitive, Feeling, and Perceiving.

How Rare Is Your Personality?

This is evidently a modified Myers-Briggs. If you wanna take the whole shebang (it's kinda long, so it depends on how bored you are), it's here. When we first took it in college, tiki got INTP, but oddly enough, our results have gotten closer to Mr. Tiki's over the years. Er, except the extrovert part--we're not gonna go there.
