A recent study, conducted by Cambridge University in England, has finally provided a scientific answer to the popular 30 year old question, "Who is the strongest Juurlink brother?". After a number of intensive experiments, they have proven that Jonathan Richard Juurlink is, by far, the most powerful Juurlink brother in his immediate family. The study was conducted with the participating brothers (by age), Garrett, Jonathan, and Gregory.

It involved a number of strength-testing exercises, including:
- lifting a full grown cow over one's head.
- carrying 4 kegs (100 lbs each) at once across a football field.
- being tied to a rope/pulley system and pulling themselves up an 8 story building.
- a timed experiment that revolved around planting full grown spruce trees (25 feet tall each) across a 40 acre wood lot.
- wrestling an alligator-riding grizzly bear.
- flying a Griffon helicopter without an engine, using only strength to spin the blades while steering through a number of floating hoops.

The study took each Juurlink brother and assigned them to complete each task. Unfortunately, Garrett and Gregory were only able to lift one small calf, 2 kegs, and unable to complete the other exercises. In a terrific show of cooperation, Gregory was able to fly the Griffon at slightly better accuracy and speed, but only with the assistance of older brother Garrett to spin the helicopter blades. Jonathan was, however, not only able to complete each exercise, but did so in record time while breaking all previous world records.

The study has proven extremely useful to scientists all over the world; the majority of whom had theorized that Jonathan was indeed the strongest brother.

With this study complete, the scientific community can now begin designing experiments to confirm the popular theory that Jonathan Juurlink is also the most intelligent, witty, handsome, and respectable of the three brothers.
