Hot Dogs at High Point (University)

Hat tip The College Fix

Dr James Smoliga


It's bad enough that we have hot dog eating championships being passed off as sports (with apologies to world champ Joey Chestnut), now we have the whole thing being studied in our universities by "research professors".

Believe it or not, Dr James Smoliga of High Point University, has reached a new low point in academic research. He has determined (after years of research) that the most hot dogs a human being can wolf down in 10 minutes is 83.

“The maximal limits of human performance are a perpetually interesting, interdisciplinary topic of scientific discourse,”
-James Smoliga PhD (Professor of hot dogs)

Data were modelled using logistic regression (equation (2.1)):

ACR(y)=mn+(mx−mn)(exp[k(y−t)]1+exp[k(y−t)]).

You can't put a price tag on a college education.
