Great F*©king News! Swearing Cures Pain!

According to a study from England's Keele University, swearing can help soothe pain. The study was conducted by having the subjects put their hands in a bowl of icy water. One time, the group was told they couldn't swear at all, and the other time was told they could swear as much as they wanted. Their task: hold their hands in the icy water as long as they could.

Results? When people were able to swear throughout the experiment, they could keep their hands in the water on average 40 seconds longer! That's f*cking great!

This isn't new research we're hearing about, though. For some reason, it apparently takes the Los Angeles Times two years to write about it, and then it takes me an additional month or so to pick it up and tell you.
