Fun science news
Gotta appreciate "The Register"'s sense of humor!
"There was no mention of whether the results may have been affected by the fact the couples were being watched by a bunch of geeks in white coats while at least one partner had their head connected to a machine that goes bing."
The science news these days is pretty screwy. They report every little study and often you'll read two contradicting stories within a year quoting different studies that oppose each other. They're news agencies, I guess, and so they report it as they find it. Still, this is where the benefit of an editor (science editor?) at larger publications comes in handy.
Update: AP picked it up too.
