    Maybe I should look for a paper about male to female peeing in the shower and how it relates to gender roles.

    Retarded, in this context, simply means late-comer.

    But it makes great click-bait, eh?

    Apologies, I had a more political mindset at the time I posted. Was trolling elsewhere saying things like: "I'm gonna' start my own reality TV show. Like a cooking show where contestants are given a limited amount of time to prepare a meal with weird ingredients, but instead of a meal, my contestants will have to make an improvised explosive device." Trolling far right gun nuttery and wearing my absurd tint glasses.

    I sought out absurdity and came across this

    http://time.com/4026473/ridiculous-science-studies/

    Then things got more interesting and I have less respect for TIME now. Especially when I came across this
    paragraph:
    https://news.northwestern.edu/stories/2015/08/scientists-uncover-a-difference-between-the-sexes

    And so, since THC is a psychoactive drug, the paper referenced in the OP may have something, but I'm not that bored, and I'm still sure I could find something better to do other than read it.

    I knew you were going to say that. You're so predictable.

    Because you're a girl.

    I thought you were going to say, "Because you are stoned"

    I would still like to know, say a scientist was given $1 Million to study the effects of the colours red and blue on squirrels. With mountains of thorough research done. If such a paper would be published that had no practical use other than trying to think of some imaginative way it did, who would, and wouldn't publish?

    Nobody and everybody, respectively. Unless the study found something headline-worthy, eg:
    Boys More likely to vote Republican.....
    yada, yada, yada

    ..... 61 of 100 male subjects responded positively to the colour red, while 72 of 100 female subjects responded positively to the colour blue.
