Oh, how I (and Jamis) wish this were true....

Apparently the Bozo-puter at Fox News Boston wasn't working, and they didn't check snopes before running with the story.   :facepalm:

Hats off to the writer/intern/producer that got this on the air.   =D


I think there's talking in the piece, but I wasn't listening:

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Damn, if true I would have lived forever the way I watch Fox news. I check my wife out all the time too, she's not so enamored with everywhere else I look, Ron White's theory didn't help her with that either.  >:D

I'm so contrarian that I didn't respond to the thread.

Quote
Five-hundred men participated in the German study. Half were told to refrain from looking at breasts for five years, the other half were told to ogle them daily.
Right there you just know this either a hoax or at the least flawed.  No way they got 250 men to refrain for 5 years.
