Incredible Discovery

Dr. Kevin Volpp of the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, being a brilliant doctor-type person, has succeeded -- through intensive research -- in divining this:

Weight loss easier when you get paid for it

Holy crap! Who'da thunk?

Let's see....

"Mowing yard easier when you get paid for it"

Yup. That works.

"Cleaning out the garage easier when you get paid for it"

Wow! That works, too. But let's try a real challenge, shall we:

"Going to work easier when you get paid for it"

Amazing! It still works!

Congratulations, "Doctor" Volpp: You're Captain Obvious for 2008. What's worse, you simply lifted the concept from a popular television show and called it "research".

What's your doctorate in... breathing?

Are you kidding? this guy is a freaking genius! He just got paid....PAID to say that. He probably even has tenure on some campus so now he doesn't have to work for the rest of his life. This scam artist has convinced people that this is a legitimate study and he deserves money. Man, I applaud him..bravo sir

Keep in mind he was probably paid a grant up front. Before you applaud him, see if he can repeat. =)

Oh, I believe he can. I think his next study is to prove that scoring fewer points than your opponent is the leading cause of losses in sports. Or will it be that intaking more calories than you burn can lead to obesity?
