The Batman Variable In Social Science
Holy experimental design, Batman! 🦇 Scientists discovered that pregnant women get nearly TWICE as many seat offers when accompanied by a caped crusader! The Batmanian Effect in social psychology is real! Turns out fear of vigilante justice is a stronger motivator than basic human decency. Next up: testing if The Joker has the same effect, or if he just empties the entire subway car. The p-value doesn't lie, folks - Batman doesn't just fight crime, he fights transit inequality!

Valid Urinal Positions
Finally, mathematical proof that men's bathroom etiquette follows the Fibonacci sequence! The sacred art of maintaining maximum distance between urinals isn't just social awkwardness—it's pure mathematics. For the uninitiated, the Fibonacci sequence (1,1,2,3,5,8,13...) is where each number is the sum of the two preceding ones. Turns out, the number of valid ways N men can arrange themselves at urinals equals the (N+1)th Fibonacci number. Nature's golden ratio applies even to bathroom geometry! This is what happens when mathematicians have too much time between bathroom breaks. Next up: proving that the time spent waiting for someone to finish at the sink follows a logarithmic spiral.
