Comments from a BMJ Peer Review

This could brobably be moved to Off Topic, but I found it appropriate for the Science, Logic and Morality forum, even if it is a little light harted.

Anyway, the link; Why Danes are smug: comparative study of life satisfaction in the European Union

And the laugh out loud moment;
Hypotheses, methods, and results

<snip>

Alcohol and smoking—High levels of smoking and drinking are associated with low wellbeing, but Danes are among those with the highest consumption in Europe. This is reflected in causes of death and low life expectancy.4 A reviewer of our paper suggested that one reason that Danes seem smug may be that they were drunk when they participated in the Eurobarometer surveys.
Who said science/statistics is devoid of humour?
