The crack researchers at Wellesley College's Counterpoint magazine have taken some time from their $40,000-a-year educations to answer one of life's great questions: What college majors get it on the most? Among the majors most likely to be virgins are math, chemistry and political science, the purviews of the nerdiest, most socially awkward among us. Those least likely to have retained their purity? Studio-art majors and anthropologists, the type of majors that lend themselves to those more interested in sexy time than study time.

There are a few surprises sprinkled throughout the results. Computer-science majors are less likely to be virgins than the econ majors who will one day employ (and then fire) them, and only one-third of psych majors -- who should have a better understanding of the opposite sex's brain -- are getting busy.
The good news for the virgins is this will all even out when they graduate and the guy in the white lab coat starts to look way more appealing than the unemployed artist with a futon mattress for a bed. At least as long as he's not sporting one of these geek tattoos ...

We like salt, too, but we're happy just to sprinkle it on our food.

All that understanding the male mind means is that you can pick out the losers faster than idiots can, thereby picking out winners. That only 1/3 of psych majors are getting lucky just means that there are not a lot of quality men around.

Salt is not NaCl. NaCl is a salt, but it's not the only salt. There are hundreds if not thousands of different salts...and you don't need to take organic chemistry to know that. Any gen chem course should cover that. Hell, you should learn that in high school chemistry...
And true, that picture is not a salt, but not because it's not NaCl, but because there are no ions present--everything is covalently bonded.

Any compound that has a metal and a nonmetal bonded is a salt, idiot. Forget O-chem, you need to go back and re-do general chem hahaha

i think that's the chemical structure for serotonin, also called 5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT, a neurotransmitter found in the brain

Obviously, 2/3 of the psych majors do have a good understanding of the male brain - that's why they are avoiding them !

I think you ALL need to quit taking offense to a stupid article. Anyon with half a brain has heard the "advice" from an older woman, to "marry the nerdiest guy in your class, because someday he will make the money and will gro2w into his awkwardness".. This is all "Revenge of the Nerds" and cool and all, but get over it! haha geez!
