I wonder if Gad Saad has any testosterone left.

In other news, researchers have determined that even with obvious effects of AGW, the sun will continue to rise in the east and set in the west.

Lets see now ......... Cost of a Porshe - about $100,000 plus

Cost of popping one Viagra........ about $15.

Think I'll stick with the latter.

Why is that so blatantly obvious?

It *could* be testosterone...or it could just be STUPIDITY!!!

:)

"Testosterone is what drives men's desire to own fast cars, according to a study published in the journal Organizational Behaviour and Human Decision Processes."

Whos would a thonk it?...I means these study guys are so smart...

...All I need is for someone with a Ferrari Testosterone to drive my desire to own a fast car to the nearest Porsche dealership.

Wow!

Holy Hell,has this guy never heard of A type People? Fighter pilots,race car drivers,stunt men, Navy seals etc.They need their rush,its like sex to them.I prefer mine the conventional way.

It's the new culture of stupid. My public library, not content with signage explaining to adults how to wash their hands, now has signs explaining how to use a water fountain.

Explaining how to use a water fountain.

Yes, the taxspender community really thinks the public is that stupid. What contempt.

As she said, it's blatantly obvious.

I'm volunteering for a study concerning why women like to stay at the Ritz and be given diamond jewellery. The idea is that it's something to do with estrogen levels.

Wish me luck! I'll get back to you.

Black Mamba - hope you don't end up in the control group :-)

I wonder how much tax payers money went into funding this "research", because you can be sure it did. I recall coming across a small book in the local library whose title (How to Shit in the Woods) caught my attention. I thought it must be an attempt at humour. When I took a look at it, I discovered it was the result of a generous grant and funding from Canada Heritage, or whatever it is now called. Go figure.

A Mitsubishi EVO will do the trick for about less than half the cost of a Porsche. Hey, even a Beemer will do.

I believe that with enough grant money, I may be able to prove that it also attracts women of easy virtue, and a corollary that they are often above average in looks while being below average in intelligence. I think $3-million will be enough to make a start.

Erik - you'll be glad to know that Snub-a-Scandi Day is over now, although it is going to be an annual event, so be warned.

The control-group gets to stay in a rat-trap somewhere along the highway and they get a heart-with-a-knife-through-it tattoo and a can of Strongbow rather than diamonds.

The weird thing is that some women seem to prefer it.

Science will explain everything.

Check the comments after the article...I particularly liked the one from the woman who stated that she would never buy a car and endeavours to find a more sustainable mode of transport...and that some men like that...blah, blah, blah (I, ofcourse, thought of what most men would think about that--how big are her "eyes") LOL

Now I'm p&&ed!!! I still have not got funding for my study on how flys can walk on ceilings. And why women go nuts when in PMS(putting up with men's s&&t).Can I be part of your study,Black Mamba? Gotta have a control group :)

I'm surprised the study didn't add an angle to include "in the context of global warming." They probably could have doubled or tripled their grant money.

/sarcasm_off

I've just deleted a bunch of off topic comments. The rules here are pretty simple. Please follow them.

The good news is that the study was done at the Molson School of Business, so chances are the cost was taken up by an advertising company.

The bad news is that this is not news at all to any male over the age of puberty. Just ask the boys in the boys in the bright white sports car.

The only men I know who buy a car as a status symbol do so to impress their male friends, not that there's anything wrong with that.

Black Mamba - You can have the Ritz and the diamonds, I'm volunteering for the Italian handmade leather stiletto pumps, dark chocolate and fine yarn study.

Just ask the boys in the bright white sports car. Sorry about the s-s-s-studder.

Based on experience....forget the Porsche....what they want is a stupid millionaire that loves to dance....

Forget the 6 year old science project effort.

How did CBC find the time to publish this piece when there is Harper bashing top be done?

This reminds me of a long hairy dog story about a mouse and an elephant. It's too long to tell here, but the punch line has the elephant showing the mouse that if you have a big *--* you don't need a Porsche.

Cost of a good lady for an hour or more $300.

Let's face it, Viagra is useless without a good lady.

RE: Alain at 12:50 PM

Was there a bear involved?

I used to own a detailing shop, and you'd be surprized what you can tell about a personality, by the car they drive, the state it's in, and what you find in the car:-)))))

RW - why would you pop one if you didn't have a good lady to spend some time with?

PAINTING THE PORCH

A blonde, wanting to earn some money, decided to hire herself out as a handyman-type and started canvassing a wealthy neighborhood. She went to the front door of the first house and asked the owner if he had any jobs for her to do. "Well, you can paint my porch. How much will you charge?"

The blonde said, "How about 50 dollars?"

The man agreed and told her that the paint and ladders that she might need were in the garage. The man's wife, inside the house, heard the conversation and said to her husband, "Does she realize that the porch goes all the way around the house?"

The man replied, "She should. She was standing on the porch."

A short time later, the blonde came to the door to collect her money.

"You're finished already?" he asked.

"Yes," the blonde answered, "and I had paint left over, so I gave it two coats."

Impressed, the man reached in his pocket for the $50.

"And by the way," the blonde added, "That's not a Porsche, it's a Ferrari."
