It's official.... swearing helps

Yep, it's official. Some rather interesting bloke did an experiment with people who held their hands in iced water. As you know, that's pretty painful. They were allowed to take out their hands whenever they wanted, but the idea was to keep them in as long as poss. Some were allowed to swear while they were doing this, and some were not. They could still yell and carry on, but not swear. On average, those who could swear kept their hands under water an average of 40 secs longer!

See, swearing helps!
