This contradicts some data released by 'The Cure'. Tuesday and Wednesday look much more risky.

However 'The Boomtown Rats' seem to agree with the study.

Looks like someone has a case of the Mondays!

(I know I’ll get downvoted for using humor on HN, the “this isn’t Reddit no smiling” brigade will be here in a moment to express their scorn at any sign of pleasure)
