Scientific Research: Mood Rings

Sunday, December 6th, 2009

Blogadilla is not only known by our readers as a significant source for important daily news and crap jokes, but as a profound contributor to the world of scientific research; having researched and published our findings on such significant topics as:

What effect does Frankenberry cereal have on the color of your poop?

Does albino pornography exist on the Internet.

Making soap from bacon fat.

The medical truth behind ‘Chinese Restaurant Syndrome.’

The great inventory of crappy balloon animals.

Today we are proud to offer you the results of a 30-day investigation into the mechanics of “mood rings.” Though most mood rings come with a color guide to help you understand the meaning of each of the colors, we have come to find that most of these guides are totally incorrect. Below is a more accurate guide to the colors of mood rings, based upon 63 total hours of original scientific observation at Blogadilla Laboratories.

We hope that this contribution to science will once again benefit humanity in the way that so many of our other works have.

Teflon Flu

TEFLON FLU – influenza-like symptoms resulting from exposure to the noxious fumes and byproducts of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE): commercially known as “Teflon.” Symptoms include malaise, fever, chills, nausea, aches, cough and other respiratory maladies. By 392ºF Teflon-coated cookware can emit fluorocarbon gases, by 550ºF the Teflon will begin to deteriorate and powderize, and by 680ºF it will generate toxic fumes. In a 20/20 news demonstration, frying bacon in a Teflon pan reached 500ºF. These fumes are known to be lethal to birds.

One of the noxious byproducts of Teflon degradation is perfluoroocatnoate (PFOA), sometimes known as “C8.” PFOA is a known carcinogen – associated with liver, testicular, and pancreatic cancers. It has been associated with infertility and it has toxic effects on the liver, immune system, and can effect thyroid hormone levels. Here is the scary part – PFOA has been found in the blood serum of most Americans. Aside from Teflon cookware, PFOA has been found in microwave popcorn bags. In an exposé by 20/20, a DuPont representative admitted awareness of “teflon flu” . . . and so they have provided this detailed vague and helpful useless page on their website.
