Found out about it on cracked.com, they have accurate information as it suits whatever point they are trying to get across.
Okay.
Look at it logical stand point.
Fidgeting means movement. Movement always burns more calories than sitting still.
Sadly...
That's kind of how metabolism works.
And...
The study makes perfect sense to that extent.
However... to prove a hypothesis right, you have to try to prove it wrong. If you are only trying to prove it right, of course it's going to come out the way you want it to. But if you try to prove it wrong and is unsuccessful in that, then you have truly proved your hypothesis right... or so we want to believe.

Said article that linked me to the article I found the information in: http://www.cracked.com/article_19380_6-beneficial-things-they-made-you-stop-doing-in-school.html
Some of it does seem like bullcrap though.

Has anyone ever heard of The Hunger Games?
That really thick book about a couple kids getting stranded on some island or something or another?
/looks it up/ Okay, thinking about a different book.
Okay, I was thinking Battle Royale.
I looked at the summary and thought, "They totally ripped off Battle Royale."
I'm talking about the book, not the manga, anime, or movie adaption of said book.
Actually, Battle Royale is only thriller that is on my favorite books list....
Favorite books list:
Fantasy:
Discworld series by Terry Pratchet
Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan
Sci fi:
Crystal Singer by Anne Mcafferey
Fantasy/Horror/Sci-Fi
Coldfire Trilogy by C.S. Friedman
Thriller:
Battle Royale by [Japanese names are either too long, or short and easy to remember. I'm guessing his wasn't the latter]

Ever heard of any of them? (besides me ranting about them occasionally on here)
I would be surprised if you actually did know about the Coldfire Trilogy, it's not exactly the most well know series in the world.
If you haven't read Battle Royale, see if you can borrow it from you friend, it's really good.

On the topic of favorite books, what are your favorite books?
I should see to it.
Excellent.
I haven't read (leisurely)... in forever. @_@ Like the last time I read leisurely was like middle school.
Uhhh...
I don't know. I mostly read like children's novels.
And I don't remember half the titles. Like... I have to go look at my bookshelf (which is on the other side of the house). xD
I can say what the stories were about, but this is hilarious... I cannot remember the titles for my life. @_@
Titles I do remember:
The Door Within Trilogy by Wayne Thomas Batson
Guardians of Ga'Hoole by what'shernameLasky (only first 6 books; it just got extremely crappy after that)
The Faerie Wars Chronicles by J. H. Brennan (which I never finished; I should)
Artemis Fowl
Dragon Rider by that German author who wrote the Ink-trilogy and the Thief Lord.
Bootleg by Alex Shearer... was it? AKA Chocolate Underground.
Suzumiya Haruhi (<- lolyes)
To be honest, I don't have "favourite" books. I just have books I like and books I don't like as much. Trying to choose a favourite book is like trying to choose my favourite character in I11: impossible. (Even a set doesn't work. I just start listing all of them.)
