One of the top research universities in the nation, University of California - Los Angeles (UCLA) has conducted thousands of studies since the 1950s. Something good must come out of this globally recognized institution, which reportedly spent $773 million in the 2004 fiscal year. Despite UCLA's impressive list of ground-breaking studies, such as stem-cell research, the Bruins also bear some bizarre results that only leave us questioning the invested amount of more than $750 million received yearly in research contracts and federal and state grants.

Here's a look into the more questionably valid research studies...and by valid, I mean was it really worth analyzing?

• In a joint study with eHarmony, UCLA researchers concluded that college students who were "in love" with their significant other had less of a tendency to lust over attractive members of the opposite sex.

• Last year, one study's findings revealed that burly men are twice as likely to score with the ladies. Yet in the long run, the weaker the man, the more prone he is to find a partner for life.

• UCLA's Department of Psychiatry found that the type of man a woman finds attractive depends on where she is in her menstrual cycle.

• Apparently, "a landmark UCLA study suggests friendships between women are special."

• Did you know? Bullying among sixth graders occurs daily.

• Newsflash! 70% of older teens have had oral sex. Plus, there is a rise in lesbian sex.

• Who's the inferior sex now? According to this study, eggs have more value than sperm.

• Despite what you think, not every Asian American you meet is a genius. I could've told you that.

• This study claims that liberals are smarter than conservatives.

• Research allowing the use of illegal substances with seriously damaging effects? A 33-year study followed Heroin addicts and the severe personal and social consequences resulting from their heavy drug abuse.

UCLA RESEARCH STUDY THROWBACK:

• On June 15, 1988, a Los Angeles Times writer reported, "More Condoms Fail in UCLA Study; FDA Concerned." You can thank UCLA for this research that eventually resulted in the mandate of printed expiration dates on condom packages. (On a side note, I was born in 1988...this explains a lot).
