    You're going to be real glad that study was done when space aliens come down and challenge us to a winner-take-Earth game of Rock-Paper-Scissors!
    Is your code running too slowly?
    Does your workbook or database have a bunch of duplicate pieces of data?
    Have a look at this article to learn the best ways to set up your projects.
    It will save both time and effort in the long run!

    Assuming they have the same psychology as us. I imagine, if they have interstellar flight, their meat brains would be better than out meat brains.
