The surprising part is "scientists" would actually studied this...



Assuming this is the BBC - Hawkeye, what is this show?

This is the fabulous QI which is indeed a BBC show. It is one of the finest shows on TV at the moment.
The premise is that Stephen Fry will ask the questions and the panels have to come up with the answers. However the questions seem to have obvious answers but are in fact Red Herrings. For example.
What is the worst thing for teeth? Most would answer sugar but actually potatos are far worse because they contain starch whichsticks to the teeth.
So the idea is to answer the question correctly without going for the obvious answer which is always wrong.
Here is the link to the Wikipedia article

BTW IU don't think they actually threw cats out the window for thier studies, I think they just studied the accidents that had already happened..... Well, one hopes thats the case
You could learn something from Mr Spock Doctor..... Stop thinking with your glands"

I guess if I wanted to take the cats on vacation, this is good to know.  I would have to ask for a room on floors 1-3 or anything above the 7th floor.

The part about catapulting dead cows ??!! OMG!!
