Quote:
People are unconsciously fairer and more generous when they are in clean-smelling environments, according to a soon-to-be published study led by a Brigham Young University professor.

The research found a dramatic improvement in ethical behavior with just a few spritzes of citrus-scented Windex.

I Dream of Genes

Posted 4 Weeks Ago at 03:26 AM by freeztar
Not really, though a heliacal rollercoaster of the mind doesn't sound too bad!
