don't they have anything better to do?

this week, visão magazine published a long article about the biology of love, passion and attraction. i wrote about this a long time ago, and i still don't get it: don't scientists have any other subject to research about? i mean, they could try to find a cure for aids, a new technique to heal cancer, i don't know, there are so many useful things science could provide us. but no, oh no, they prefer to slice and dice through love.

i mean, i favour scientific knowledge and progress and all that crap. but i don't like to think rationally about love. what's the point, do the scientists want me to tell my girlfriend you know, it's the hormone A, combined with that scent of yours made by the segregation B, that makes me feel this way about you while i kiss and lick her earlobe? is this even remotely funny?

science boys and girls: call me old fashioned if you like, but if you don't mind, i'll stick to the good and old i love you instead, when it comes to my girlfriend, all right?
