First! and I am not even a guy!

[Mikey]

M is me. OK you may now laugh at me.

[Mikey]

M is me. OK you may now laugh at me.

[Nora]

...and to a lesser extent, women age 30-35.

[Mikey]

What?

[Mikey]

Nora, Or anything nekked!

[Betsy]

The blog has rotted my brain. I read the headline several times as "Snake cues..." instead of "Sex cues..."

Any neo-Freudians out there can just shut up. I prefer to think that I'm understandably conditioned to assume that on the blog, the "S"-word always stands for "snakes."

[Mikey]

Betsy,

Look out! There is a sex under your chair!

[wolfie]

The researchers are conducting tests to search for a similar effect in women, but have so far failed to find a visual stimulus that alters their decision-making behaviour.

*volunteers to help in further studies*
Bring on the men in sexy clothes. Or lack thereof.

[Mikey]

Where do I sign up? Is it close to a mall? Do we get samples?

[daisymae]

Me, too, wolfie...

[daisymae]

It's noble to do volunteer to advance scientific research.

[daisymae]

(you can remove the *do*)

Thank you.

[Mikey]

Daisy,

I feel noble already. When do we get lunch?

>> a ring finger longer than the index finger, is a result of high testosterone

My ring finger is much longer than... ooh! shiny object.

[Federal Duck]

*struts around wolfie, growling gently and gazing intently*

*flexes a little, grunts at effort*

*tries to strut, growl and flex simultaneously*

*falls down. lands on face*

*instead of being turned on, wolfie shakes head and leaves*

SCORE: Male Ineptitude of Breathtaking Scope = 1 ; Women's Decision Making Behavior = 0. Woo!!

[KOW]

Did they try showing women pictures of chocolate? I'm sure that would do it.

[Eleanor]

And in the middle of the article there's a picture of - UGH - Ann Coulter trying to look sexy.

*pre-emptive apologies to anyone who thought the "UGH" was political*

*snork*

[Mikey]

KOW,

Only during certain times...

[Mikey]

Two stand up *snorks* to Fed and Nate!

[Annie Where-but-here]

Looks like the women posted well before the boys...maybe the guys were looking for pictures?

[wolfie]

Around the corner out of Feds sight....

*fans self and tries to catch breath*
*straightens clothing and attempts to look cool and composed*
*walks into door*
*gives up trying to look cool and runs for empty room for alone time with self and memory of growling flexing of Federal Duck*

[Annie Where-but-here]

*tosses up some cold water to wolfie*

[AFKAT]

"A glimpse of an alluring woman is all it takes to ruin a man's decision-making skills and the more testosterone coursing through his veins, the worse the problem gets..."

I'm not really sure that I agree with that statement...on the other hand, maybe I do after all...or not...oh, never mind, I think...

[Suzy Q]

wow, wolfie, I'd hate to see what would happen to you if Chloe did that to you!

Well, actually, I WOULD like to see it.

[Annie Where-but-here]

Me, too!

[Annie Where-but-here]

AFKAT - I think someone needs to pull your finger (so it's longer...(

[Ann]

The researchers "have so far failed to find a visual stimulus that alters [women's] decision-making behaviour."

If you want to turn a woman into Homer Simpson, show her a picture of George Clooney. "Mmm...Clooney..."

[AFKAT]

Annie WBH: Here, pull my finger...*accompanied by friendly but sly grin*

[Annie Where-but-here]

AFKAT....oooh, shiny! (not sure what I mean, but it sounded good)

[Kathy P.]

Did they ask judi?

[AFKAT]

Actually Annie, neither do I...still suffering from post-traumatic shock as a result of filling up my boat this afternoon...it cost me just over $500 *groan*. If you think gas prices have risen in the US, try Canada (Yikes!).

I'm kinda thinking of nailing a few 2x4s together to turn her into a sailboat...

[MoFaux]

I was gonna write something, but I keep getting distracted by Daisy Fuentes on TV....and trust me, i'm not kidding...

[southerngirl]

Testosterone levels were gauged by measuring the ratio of the index finger to the ring finger. A low value, suggesting a ring finger longer than the index finger, is a result of high testosterone and is found more commonly in men than women.

Ok, I have 2 daughters. One has longer pointer fingers than ring fingers. My youngest daughter and myself have longer ring fingers than pointer fingers.

Do I want to know what this means?!?

[Nateislate]

You and your youngest daughter have higher levels of testosterone than... hey look, words on my computer screen.

[AFKAT]

*Alert...Humour function off*

Actually Southerngirl, the daughter with the longer index (pointer) finger was probably exposed to a higher level of estrogen while in the womb than normal.

Most men have longer ring fingers than index, but many women are in the same situation. It's not an abnormality.

*Humour function back on*

[AFKAT]

*Alert...Humour function off*

And actually, you may notice a difference in the index/ring ratio between the left & right hands. In my case, for example, the distance between the ring/index finger on my left hand is half that of my right hand (as measured by the middle finger).

[Lisa Bisa Fo Fisa]

It's just another one of God's little jokes. Men are visually stimulated by women. Women are visually stimulated by dessert.

[Annie Where-but-here]

So if I want to be girly, I just grow the nails longer on my pointer fingers! Yay! Oooh, dessert....

[Suzy Q]

AFKAT: What kinda boat you got? I could go in on the gas, if it's worth it.

[O. the U(manity)]

AFKAT ... I don't get it ...

Lemme see ... if my ring finger is ... um ... nevermind ...

[KDF]

Women are also visually stimulated by sales at shoe stores.

[Lisa Bisa Fo Fisa]

KDF-Oooh yeah, that's a good one!

*and Dave is the other one*

[Lisa Bisa Fo Fisa]

Oh no wait--I got it!

Both men and women are equally flustered by the opposite sex, but when tested, women are just better at faking it!

*There, my work here is done*

[KDF]

Man, LBFF, you're good.

[Lisa Bisa Fo Fisa]

It's all the creative energy generated by my fellow bloglits.

*back a'cha*

[slyeyes]

*perks*

Shoe sale?

[baligurl]

My initial response? "...and Trees are wood". I like "DUH". Succinct.

[Annie Where-but-here]

LBFF - careful - you're giving away secrets. Oooh, look, a shoe sale!

[daisymae]

Where's the shoe sale?

[Meanie the Blue]

*Tries to compare ring vs. index finger.*
*Notices alluring females converging in shoe store*
*Tries to compare.....um.....huh?*

[slyeyes]

que?

[O. the U(manity)]

Yeah, WTD?

So ... how's the ratio of ring finger to index finger for Oscar Ramirez?

[Meanie the Blue]

Si!

[ask]

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.

Um, no - they're just the only ones it gets tried on.

Nothing subtle about the influences of some of the ladies around here!

[Annie Where-but-here]

"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."

ask - our CEO couldn't even follow the thought in that sentence. Even if he could, that last word would erase anything he might have retained.

[Meanie the Blue]

Sorry, Annie. Did you say something?

[Annie Where-but-here]

Si!....sigh....

[daisymae]

Was that post by Oscar Ramirez spam?

* Shows Oscar Ramirez the finger between the ring and index.*

Begone Spammer.

[SquirlCat41]

Blog Spam. It was bound to happen eventually, I guess.

"You are not geisha until you can stop a man in his tracks with a single glance."

[Annie Where-but-here]

EasterCandyT - are you talkin' to ME?

[Layzeeboy]

Wait a minute. You mean we men are dstracted by the sight of a nekkid wom
