Q: How Stupid Are Women Who Breast feed? A: Very?

Or something like that.

Apparently there was this whole study conducted, and the results showed that people do, in fact, hold biases toward women who got milk:

Only, oopsie: the study was conducted amongst college students, who don't know shit about shit anyway. Unless your study is about how to cheat on research papers or who they can buy some Aderall from, I think it's safe to say that those results probs don't mean a whole lot.

Everything is "you're my brother's keeper, you're my eternal light, love you like Jesus," and so on. There must be 15 stations. Fine, 5.

Who Gives A Shit: What Are Your Fave BK Classes?

I noticed a thread on Brooklynian in which the poster was looking for suggestions for some Brooklyn cooking classes (and received some good ones, i.e. The Brooklyn Kitchen).

But then I started thinking: hey, I like classes and I don't really want to take a cooking class. So maybe there are some OTHER great Brooklyn classes out there!?

I recently took a real estate class at the Brooklyn Brainery (which offers classes on all sorts of stuff!) and I srsly loved it. So, spill it: what are some of your fave BK classes??
