I followed the bag registration link last night when you tweeted it, and was quite a bit later to sleep than planned because I had to keep reading bits out to hano. I loved Strategic Defence Confectionery. And the Irish guy smuggling bags over the border.

And:

The dog with the ears looked like a Samoyed which are just incredible dogs. Our neighbour had some and they were like physical manifestations of everything that is joyous about dogs. And floofiness.

Satoshi Kanazawa, the LSE "researcher" whose research is described in your first link, is the asshole idiot who stated a few years ago that black women are "subjectively" less attractive than women of other races and that Africa is a mess because black people overall are less intelligent than other races.

I am sure this latest "research" is of the same high standard.
