Thursday, September 14th, 2006IT people ‘twice as likely’ to wear heavy metal t-shirts
Wednesday, September 13th, 2006I found this article to be very interesting and being in the IT/Hosting industry this surely caught my attention 
Also being a rock/metal fan but generally open to all genres of music including jazz/blues/pop and so on as well.
It’s official… Techies are a breed apart. According to new research, IT staff are twice as likely as other staff members to wear a heavy metal T-shirt and carry a Maglite and a Leatherman. They are also 34% more likely to wear a ponytail, 63% more likely to wear black jeans; and 32% less likely to wear clean clothes every day.

A few Ig Nobel Prizes include:
ECONOMICS
The Vatican, for outsourcing prayers to India.
