Test Subject
The Architect has been one of my biggest supporters with this whole grad school thing. I started grad school right after I met him and he’s been my rock ever since. If I need help with homework, he’s there. If I need someone to tell me that I’ll get through this, he’s there. If I need someone to calm me down about whatever I’m doing, he’ll do it. Little did he know that when he took on this role, he’d also be signing up for the role of test subject.
Last Thursday, he had just gotten back from teaching classes for the week at his alma mater. It’s about a 3.5 hour drive from here and he was tired. After a heavy dinner of take out Chinese food, I informed him that I needed him for an experiment that I needed to do for statistics. Being the good rock that he is, he agreed… even before he heard the terms…
He had to eat 40 M&Ms and guess what color M&M he was eating out of two colors as he was blindfolded. A lot of M&Ms but a lot of delicious, delicious M&Ms. Who could complain? A person in my statistics group did some research and found that sparkling water made a good palate cleanser so in order to have a clean test each time, the Architect had to take a sip of sparkling water after each and every M&M.
Poor guy! Do you realize how quickly sparkling water will fill you up? But he did it. Even though he was already full from dinner and hates sparkling water. Now that’s love!

I don’t know how much of that was love. I mean I’m sure he loves you and all, but if he’s anything like me, he’s a sucka for an M&M, under ANY conditions! M&Ms are my favorite.
What a trooper. Did your research include side-effects of green m&m’s?
Good thing you grabbed onto that guy! But you never said, what were the results?
@dirtbubble - Hey, I was going to ask that!
LOL! Results, please!
P.S.: I’m digging on the layout.
Hey, it’s part of his job hehe
You got a great guy.
Yeah, results pls.
oh undying devotion^^
40 m&ms sounds like a tasty test. =) I’m curious what you statistic project will reveal….
Aaaw, that is love! It’s easy to be supportive of the big things in your partner’s life, but it’s the little ones that mean the most!
@AnamcharaConcepts - @SoullFire - @Vignettery - @icepearlz - The results were that he got 22 M&M colors correct and 18 incorrect. We had guessed that he would get about 50% correct due to statistics and we were pretty spot on
@dirtbubble - What are the side-effects of green M&Ms?
@TheCheshireGrins - Urban legend has it that green m&m’s make one horny.
how nice of him!
Good man, there.
He is a keeper indeed.
What a good guy! Did he have to do it all in one sitting? I just tried a bag of coconut M&M’s last week. They were good!
