Looking at a woman's hooters every day makes men live longer...says New England Journal of Medicine.


Anybody have any idea whether this is true or not?




You're gonna drive me sane with this one. Searched NEJM. Since I have no journal date (how convienient for their website) I couldn't find anything on it. I will, however, mention that the NEJM has editorials and book reviews. Some books are of a somewhat dubious nature. It could be from one of those articles.

Commie, rotten, mutant WWN Bastards.


I just checked the article I read this in again. No specific date, but I have a feeling it's within the past 5 years. Also, the researcher is a woman named Dr. Karen Weatherby from Germany.

Ah, [beep]. Thanks anyway, VD. Crazy idea: wouldn't it be nice to participate in an experiment like that, though.

I think I could participate in one of those experiments. At the very least, it wouldn't do me any harm.

Warning: the following may make you laugh so hard that you may die. Or at least cause you to pause to take a breath.

From above site:
quote:
What should you do if you find an athiest?

If you find an atheist in your neighborhood, TELL A PARENT OR PASTOR RIGHT AWAY!

You may be moved to try and witness to these poor lost souls yourself, however AVOID TALKING TO THEM! Atheists are often very grumpy and bitter and will lash out at children or they may even try to trick you into neglecting God's Word.

Very advanced witnessing techniques are needed for these grouches. Let the adults handle them.


Also, from LandOverBaptist.org, it seems that there is a permanent injunction against all people whom do not believe as they do. If you don't believe as they do, you have to be out of a 10-mile radius of their church[I wouldn't want to live within a hundred miles of their church even if they paid me a billion dollars]. And they don't want us on their website. If anyone knows someone or they themselves can, would you please, somehow, mess around with thier site? It's practically begging for it!

Okay, I know that they are, obviously, very Insane.

The, only, question is, are they on our side, because if they are, they've managed to shove their tongues, so far, into their cheeks, that they've bitten them completely off, and they are lying on the floor

If you Ignore Your Rights, they WILL, go away.

Hey Phil! Congrats on the hit count on your site. I'm sure it will really skyrocket when (ahem ahem) your book finally comes out.
And I love the mostly troll-less environment. Well, there is SAMU. But watching him get severely beaten post after post does have certain entertainment value.

Geez, I was doing so well, staying out of SAMU's bozoid thread on Apollo 13.

Then he goes and calls NASA murderers.

Now I'm angry with myself for getting back into it, but really... how can you just let that kind o'shite go unchallenged?

The crack about the military didn't thrill me too much either.
The BA gave him a warning. One more stupid comment like that and SAMU is outta here!

Boy, am I disappointed. I saw that Lisa had the latest posting on this topic and figured you were going to volunteer for that experiment, too, just like Valiant and now me. After all, the experiment requires the observed as much as the observers.

Why is it that only guys jump into this stuff? Aren't you ladies interested in science? Sheesh.

To Donnie and Valient: good answers to that pinhead. Despite SAMUs earlier protests, he's nothing but an HBer. First he brings up the capsule temperature difficulties. That's been explained away. Now he's into the murder conspiracy. He's getting trashed for that one. If he doesn't get banned, next I expect "but the astronauts would have been fried by the radiation without three feet of lead shielding!"
Anyone want to bet?

Sorry Garrette, the discussions moved from hooters to hbers while you weren't looking.
Behave yourself

Must I? I have to behave myself too much in real life and would rather not here.

Serious note: I've been partially following SAMU on BABB and also found his military comment quite offensive, and I will understand if Phil bans him for a repeat. However, I hope he doesn't. The new format allows this type of tripe to be contained in one forum and/or thread. But it's Phil's board, and I'm sure whatever he decides will be done after much consideration.

BTW, Phil, neat introductory article for the folks who did your interview. Hope I get to see the interview itself sometime. (Must admit, though, that a meteorite-capable toilet would be way cool; after all, we'll still need potties after the big one hits. Think you can work on that?)

I found that there was a bit of a startling contrast in the q/a in the interview... three or four questions on asteroids and other space topics, and then suddenly... flushes!

Garette, you can look at my hooters (not that I have much to look at, mind you), if you think that would prolong your life... hmmm, on second thought...

Now, did that study investigate whether there were any benefits for the owners of the hooters being observed?

And so the world knows the sad sad state of my social life... Can I drink (a LOT) first?

I wish I'd seen the tech tv interview. I was on the boards last night, but I don't recall seeing the head-up post. This morning, it was a little late. Maybe the show will be re-played. TechTV does that a lot.

Is acute embarassment life-threatening? Sure feels like it sometimes.

Don't get TechTV so need to find it on the web at some point. Sounds fun.

Never understood female embarrassment in front of men (in front of other females is another matter...). Have you ever heard a male say, or can you possibly conceive of a male saying "Hah! Bad hooters!"

No, they say, "Didn't those tattoos hurt?"

I just had to answer SAMU. "Teenage high school dropouts," indeed! I'm going to make a guess that SAMU has never attended a military tech school. Electronics classes 0700 - 1500, five days a week for over 6 months. And don't get me started on the ton of homework. I had to sneak out a dorm window just to get to go to New Orleans!
And the whole thing with security clearances. Does he even have a small hairy clue as to what goes in to getting a security clearance? Does he think the OSI just does a quick net search, and if you don't show up on bobspageofaxemurderers.com, you must be okay?
