SOONER WOMEN CAN GET PREGNANT WITHOUT US BOYS

Researchers successfully grow working sperm cells in a lab

Bad news, dudes: researchers in Japan have just made fertile mammalian sperm in a petri dish. That's once less reason for women to keep our asses around.
The researchers were able to make mouse sperm cells, and they hope to be able to do the same for humans in the not-too-distant future. They say it could be used to "aid prepubescent boys about to undergo cancer therapies that destroy fertility. It could also protect the reproductive potential of endangered animals that might die before reaching sexual maturity, he adds." Also, it can help women live without men forever and ever, if you take this to it's logical conclusion. We have many other good qualities, ladies! Please, spare us!

To compliment the wiener one from last week, this is the world map of averagebreast cup sizes. Now I know what you're wondering, "GW -- what's your favorite cup?" Thanks for asking, I'm really into fruit cups. JOKING -- pudding all the way, baby! Now -- before all you American men start high-fiving and motorboating your monitors, our average is a D because we're f***ing fat, not because our women have naturally large bazoongas. Shit, even I'm rockin' B-cups. *squeezing* No, B+*trying to lick nipple*

Proof that women's chests really are a man's 'first fixation' By Helen Dowd, Mail On Sunday Reporter

Women have long complained that their faces are often the last thing men look at – and now a scientific study has proved them right.

Researchers found that virtually half – 47 per cent – of men first glance at a woman’s chest. A third of the so-called ‘first fixations’ are on the waist and hips, while fewer than

20 per cent look at the face.

Not only are breasts often the first thing men look at, they also glance at them for longer than any other body part, the experts discovered

Perfect figure: Katherine Jenkins' larger chest and slim waist indicate fertility

It’s thought that the reason might be evolutionary, as women with larger chests and slim waists – such as opera singer Katherine Jenkins – have higher levels of the female hormone oestrogen, indicating greater fertility.

But the researchers conceded that there could be a more prosaic explanation. ‘Men may be looking more often at the breasts because they are simply aesthetically pleasing, regardless of the size,’ they said. Subjects tested by researchers from New Zealand’s University of Wellington were presented with six images of the same woman, digitally altered to increase or decrease the size of her bust, waist and hips.

The scientists recorded which areas men looked at first, the number of times they looked, and how long their gaze lasted, using cameras and mirrors to measure tiny eye movements.

The study concluded: ‘Eighty per cent of first fixations were on the breasts and midriff. Men spent consistently more time looking at the breasts and also made significantly more fixations upon them than other regions.’ It also found that men began to gaze at the ‘components of the hourglass figure’ within 0.2 seconds. The research also discovered that few glances were directed at the arms, lower legs and feet.
