Orgasm and Death

Scientists have certainly been busy recently.

This week two separate groups of scientists have unearthed the elusive female 'pathways to pleasure' which are located, not in her vagina, but firmly in her brain. Not just one pathway, oh no, so far they have located two. Pathway one leads to orgasm via masturbation and Pathway Two 'kicks in when a woman is being stimulated by a lover'. The American group of scientists tested women who masturbated and the scientists from the Netherlands 'observed women having sex with a partner (horrible job but someones got to do it...boom boom!) The European lot found evidence that suggests orgasm is 'achieved with a partner when a woman 'lets go' and reaches an 'altered state of consciousness'. Who'd have guessed eh?

Would you take a test to find out how long you have left to live? Spanish scientists claim to have developed a test that can predict your life expectancy. It is all something to do with your telomeres and whether you have got long or shorts ones. Apparently having short ones mean  that you have a short life span, and - here is where the argument is flawed - they are not sure if having long ones means you will live longer. The test can't predict how many years or months you have left to live (another serious flaw in a life expectancy test me thinks) but it can tell your 'biological age' and no doubt insurance companies are just going to love it.

I just did a 'fun' online 'life expectancy test' and got these results:


Life Expectancy: 76.73

Lower Quartile : 68.60

Median Lifetime: 78.50

Upper Quartile : 85.81


I can live with that.
