There was also a study where adults were timed for how long they could hold their hand in a bowl of ice water. One group was allowed to swear during the experiment and the other was not. The group that could swear held their hands in the ice bowl longer. So perhaps the adult version of being a superhero is just being someone who can swear a lot?
