I came across that study by the Shiny Objects Institute--it was in the paper (how can a newspaper turn yellow the very day it's published?) next to a Bat Boy sighting in Des Moines. The SOI, or "soy," as the people with Masters degrees in Library Science from the local community college like to call it, also found a correlation between the television stacking and 1970s model Chevrolet Camaros on cement blocks in the front yards (SOI found them to be grass-free over 75% of the time) of the homes (composed of an oxidizing metal not unlike said vehicles at least 98% of the time) that house these stacks.

Not sure what your neighbor Pink Cowl Guy's up to, though... On an unrelated note, it's time for the 2007 Idolator Pop Critics Poll. Do you qualify as a music critic? Could you? Do you burn with desire to enshrine your 2007 picks part of a huge, hypothetically-hip aggregate? Lord knows I do.
