AND OUR SURVEY SAID..
BOYS are stronger than girls, ice cream makes you fat, women like diamonds and men like football.
Surprised? Thought not. Every day we're hit with a piece of silly science or a potty poll that "reveals" something we already knew.
And often a squint at the small print tells the real story - someone, somewhere wants you to buy something.

Here's our round-up of the most pointless surveys ever carried out...
ROMANTIC lovers are more likely to say "I love you" than married couples - The boffins at Yale University worked that out all by themselves.

WOMEN like diamonds - Seventy per cent think the bigger the stone, the better. And who did that survey? None other than diamond sellers De Beers.

WORKING mums are too tired for sex - Mother And Baby magazine discovered that almost all working mothers say they are often too tired for bedroom gymnastics.

NAKED sleepwalkers usually wander into other rooms - Travelodge proved that naked sleepers stroll into other bedrooms, go downstairs or go to the bathroom. Where else could they go?

MEN are physically stronger than women, but emotionally weaker - The European Men's Health Forum has clearly got its finger on the pulse.

CHILDREN who eat ice cream have a higher chance of being obese - They're good at the Heart And Stroke Foundation, aren't they?

MEN who plan their Valentine's Day activities are considered more romantic - Groundbreaking survey from The Society Of American Florists. Wonder what they want fellas to buy?

HEAVY internet users watch less TV and see fewer friends - Let's get this straight. Go to work, go home, log on for hours, so less time to see friends. Thanks Nuke Inter Network, without you we'd never have worked it out.

WOMEN like shopping, men don't - Money Magazine surveyed 1,010 people to prove that.

MEN prefer watching football to home decorating - No, really! They do.

MOST of us would like to earn much more money for much less work - Every year at least one recruitment consultancy trots out this old chestnut.

WOMEN enjoy being pampered - That can't be true. Manicures, facials, massages - not for me, thanks.

USED car dealers can rip you off - The Institute Of Trading Standards found that used car dealers can be dodgy.

PEOPLE who get a loan for cosmetic surgery won't tell their bank manager - Yorkshire Bank discovered that 40 per cent of people want a loan for a nose job or hair replacement, but would say that it was for a conservatory.

FATHERS are useful in bringing up children - A study published in the lead-up to Father's Day may be right.

LACK of exercise can make you fat - A survey by the International Journal Of Behavioural Nutrition in an exercise of stating the obvious.

WORKING long hours makes you tired - Researchers at the British Medical Journal had a Eureka moment.

STUDENTS like cheap drinks - I'm not making it up. Researchers proved it.

BRITONS have lots of sex on holiday - And Durex should know.

YOUNG people go to Ibiza to have sex - The STI Journal failed to mention the drinking and dancing.

PEOPLE love watching their favourite TV show and eating their favourite meal - American Express's Life's Little Indulgences survey is behind that little gem.

ESTATE agents lie - Direct Line exposed the fibbers.

BRAD Pitt is the World's Sexiest Man - It was never in doubt, but George Clooney's demanding a recount.

WOMEN spend more time than men doing household chores - The Bureau Of Labour Statistics says women do four hours a day while men do just half that.

WE spend our weekends eating, drinking, going out or watching television - What else is there to do, we ask the Consumer Analysis Group?

JOURNALISTS work harder and get paid less than anyone else - OK, I made that one up, but the boss might fall for it.
