Things I learned today

[Kevy Baby]

I found this article, but there are many more out there

Found the original published study. If you're curious, here's how they measured:

In the supine, frog-legged position with the legs abducted allowing the soles of the feet to meet, the distance from the posterior aspect of the scrotum to the anal verge was measured using a digital caliper (Neiko USA, Model No. 01407A) (Figure 1). The soles of the feet were between 12 to 18 inches from the buttocks for all measurements. The anal verge was marked as the anterior most point where the anus begins. The posterior aspect of the scrotum was the point where the rugated scrotal skin meets the perineum.

I won't post Figure 1.

Actually, your taint is called your "perineum". The 'anogenital distance" is the size of your taint.

Taint size. Got it. Perhaps men can now go around bragging not just of the size of their peens but of their taints. Hey ladies, I've got a huge taint and I'm going to get you soooo pregnant.

Better yet, "Condom? Condom?! Have you SEEN how small my taint is? No need for one of those."

Reading the study, it also find that the infertile cohort had shorter flaccid penises and smaller balls.

Don't see anything obviously odd about the study (though I don't seeing mentioning whether AGD is at all proportional to overall body size). But from this I assume the dad in that family with 19 kids has his asshole somewhere between his shoulder blades.

Can I just tell you how strange it is coming into this conversation mid-stream.

And then there are the guys that are just one big asshole.

I'm imaging the recruitment process. "Hey, let me measure your taint!"

I'm amused.

The difference between bass and treble clef. Ohh and apparently, the direction of a notes tail (up or down) makes no difference at all. Who knew?

I have a new "Music Theory" app on my phone and one for the iPad. Since Moonie Jr. is getting pretty darn serious about music I thought I should be a bit more up on the subject so it's become my new self-improvement project for 2012.
