Smarter Men Have More Sperm

Women tend to like smart men because they're usually more successful and better providers. But here's another reason: Their sperm is better, a new study says.

Researchers at King's College London, the University of Delaware and the University of New Mexico recently compared results from five intelligence tests given to 425 Vietnam War vets in 1985 as part of the U.S. Centers For Disease Control and Prevention's Vietnam Experience Study. These vets, aged 31 to 44, also provided sperm samples, so the researchers analyzed the sperm per milliliter of semen, plus how many of the sperm swam normally, and other measures of sperm health.

The smarter the men were, the more sperm they produced and the better their wee ones swam - and it didn't matter how old the men were or whether they smoked, drank or were obese.

But why might these two seemingly unrelated traits be linked? Why would calculus aces or business consultants make better sperm?

Turns out that intelligent people are generally healthier than their less-clever peers - studies have shown that brainiacs are, for instance, less likely to suffer from heart disease and Alzheimer's. Scientists have suggested that smart people may score less stressful jobs in safer places and that they may make better lifestyle choices, for instance by exercising more and eating better. In other words, maybe bright people actually listen to the Surgeon General.

More, baby. MORE!! (http://news.yahoo.com/s/livescience/20090109/sc_livescience/smartermenhavemoresperm/print)

Damn. Now you're doing it. :-)

This reminds me of something that happened at work last week. It's flipping hilarious and fits right in to this thread.


I noticed an email that my boss (the owner) had printed out so naturally I didn't read it.  :innocent:  :uhsure:

It was a copy of an email from a guy who is one of our clients. Let's call him "Paul". But before I explain, let me back up a minute. Paul is gay. Not that it matters but you'll get it in a minute.....

A few weeks ago, my boss took me and my partner (the three of us function as a "team") to meet Paul and discuss their account. Paul is out and proud - right down to the rainbow flag on his wall. Our boss is a bit obtuse but we thought to ourselves, "surely he gets that Paul is gay?" Again, it doesn't matter, we just kind of giggle in general at our boss.

Soooo....

the email that Paul wrote to our boss was called, "Sorry - playing with friends". Hmmm..that got my curiosity right away!   I read down to the bottom and see that he had apparently accidentially text messaged my boss and was telling him "oops". But the funny part is that is email said,

"Sorry about the hot c*ck references".

I had to email my boss today to let him know about some questions an engineer had about a CAD drawing. I had to copy verbatim and I had to type, "they need to make the rod in the back longer or thicker because it's just not saying in good." 

I swear, it was one of those "I can't stop giggling" days. My friend J who works with me said, "you know, this is the reason we can never sit in cubes next to each other again. Thank God we have offices here!" (We used to work at another company together) Then I said, "yeah, I knew you'd be the only one to get my warped sense of humor because there's a 14 year old boy inside of me." To which she replied, "that don't sound right either!!".

I think I shot coffee out of my nose......

Thank you, I'm here all week.
