big-will 7 Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Bloody hell, sounds like bollocks to me but Quote: Scientists have discovered that uttering swear words can help to lessen the feeling of physical pain. The study by researchers at Keele University found that volunteers were able to withstand pain for longer when they swore compared to when they used words which were not offensive. Dr Richard Stephens, who conducted the study at the university's school of psychology, believes it may explain why swearing is still common place in languages around the world. He suggests that swearing could have evolved as a way of raising aggression levels and reducing the feeling of pain to allow our ancestors to flee or fight back when attacked by predators. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/scienceandtec...ng-of-pain.html Link to post Share on other sites
