I haven't seen a lot worth reporting since the wireless came back up, but I did run across this piece, in the "bears use the woods as a toilet" category, which claims--hold on to your hats, now--that men influenced by attractive women don't always make great decisions:

"We all think we are rational beings, but our research suggests ... that people with high testosterone levels are very vulnerable to sexual cues. If there are no cues around, they behave normally, but if they see sexual images they become impulsive..."

What would we do without researchers?

I'd actually encourage more research into this area, as I'm getting sick and tired of the post-modern feminists who insist that they should be able to wear short skirts, open blouses and f-me pumps to work and we men should treat them as androgynes.

There's a reason that men cover up to their necks and wrists in proper business attire. In my opinion, if women expect to be treated with the same professional deference as male colleagues then they should cover up as much.

Now we're seeing more than the overwhelming anecdotal common-knowledge of the distracting nature of cleavage and ankles, now we're getting the "scientific" "proof" of what we all already know.

The second line in the story is even more interesting:

"The finding is unwelcome confirmation that those most likely to be in a position of power are most susceptible to the subtle influences of the opposite sex."

I wonder which President this could be referring to?

Although the notion that power seeking is a function of testosterone level is just blatant sexism. And from a British lefty newspaper too. Tsk tsk.

Next breaking news: Researchers have found in a ten-year, $10 million survey that bears sh*t in the woods.

Ken, I wouldn't be surprised to find that the "feminists" in question already knew the distracting power of cleavage.

South Park "bebe's boobs destroy civilization" I think is the title.

Scientists are WAY behind the curve, either that, or. . . .

Are Matt and Trey social Scientists?

I'm confused. BOOBIES GOOD! BOOBIES GOOD!
Napster BAD!

Oh, and this just in.

Young men tend to react poorly to rejection.
