News Flash

Thank you, science.

Gems from this article:

"[...] in men, the brain areas associated with handling tools and the intention to perform actions light up when viewing images of women in bikinis."

(Middle school humor) Gee, I wonder which tools the men were thinking of handling.  Tee-hee.

"Men also remember [bodies of women in bikinis] better that those of fully-clothed women"

(Dreamy voice)  Fascinating.

" [...] the research suggests that viewing certain images is not appropriate in the workplace."

Again, groundbreaking...

The best one:

"Many men make foolish choices because of sexual attraction."

Thank goodness we have these researchers.  I have no idea any of us would have come to this conclusion if we had simply looked at, say, the past five thousand years of human civilization.

I'll get of my sarcasm-horse here, and get on my rhetorical question-horse:  Do we really need to be paying people to make studies like this?
