I Knew It!

Scientists at Manchester University have finally come up with a formula to explain the Beer Goggle Effect!

The best part of the article is when the author states that a person given a beer goggle score between 1 and 50 would be considered "less visually offensive" than if you looked at them while completely sober. I don't know about you, but I wouldn't settle for "less visually offensive", even if I was drunk off my ass.

Well, it's about time. All I know is, that I wish they'd have thought this formula up while I was still at school. That way, whenever a creepy guy asked me for my number I could have just said "Sorry, my snellen visual acuity is like, totally low and stuff" and he probably would have just gotten really confused and given up.

haaaa i know what snellen visual acuity is, and you're right, we could have been using it as an excuse all along, except that you're an emmetrope anyway......ahhhh, oh well!

p.s- i was thinking about the harmonica man the other day AND the guy with the mole (i told stories to people about both of them) AND the weird poncho-wearing, drink-sipping dude that hung out in the basement of the union....oh, i miss those days!
