Sunday Funny: Is your pyramid correctly aligned?

This week’s Sunday Funny brought to you by Biochembelle. Given the one two weeks ago, I’m starting to wonder why on earth she knows QUITE so much about pyramid alignment. 🙂

Presented with eyerolling.

Abstract

The present study was aimed to find out whether a change in the alignment of the pyramid from the north-south axis causes any variation in the effects produced by it on plasma cortisol levels and markers of oxidative stress in erythrocytes of adult-female Wistar rats. Plasma cortisol and erythrocyte TBARS levels were significantly lower whereas erythrocyte GSH was significantly higher in rats kept in pyramid that was aligned on the four cardinal points–north, east, south and west, as compared to normal control rats. Although there was a significant difference in the plasma cortisol level between normal control group and the group of rats kept in randomly aligned pyramid, there was no significant difference between these two groups for the other parameters. Erythrocyte TBARS levels in the group of rats kept in the randomly aligned pyramid was significantly higher than that in the group kept in the magnetically aligned pyramid. The results suggest that the north-south alignment of the pyramid is crucial for its expected effects.

I always wondered why I was so stressed. Obviously I have been misaligning my pyramids due to their northeasterly orientation.
