Sometimes science is uncomfortable. Such is the case with some new research I just read about at Discoblog on Discover Magazine’s website. The article, entitled You Think You (And Your Parents) Are Hot is definitely fascinating, but kind of makes me want to take a shower.

I was all set to write out a layman’s terms explanation of the experiment, but Allison Bond (the writer of this piece — duh!) already did that, so just go read the article. You won’t know just how totally dirty you are until you do!
