From Australian National University comes a longitudinal study of more
than 95,000 men that links erectile dysfunction (ED) with heart
disease. Though previous studies have demonstrated the link between ED
and cardiovascular disease (CVD), this is the first study to show how
the severity of ED can indicate the extent of the risk – and that ED is
not just a risk factor for heart disease, but a risk marker.
Most men I know don’t smell like bacon, baseball gloves, top soil, or urinal cakes, but maybe it’s because the men I know take baths regularly and practice good hygiene. At least, I’d like to think so.
Nonetheless, it’s still funny to see ManHands’ line of man-branded soap featuring all sorts of weird and unusual scents like the ones I mentioned, plus more like muscle rub, bonfire, red wine, cash, and brewed coffee.
The product page boasts that the soaps will make any man ‘smell like a man’ and ‘smell the way they need to smell.’ That’s pretty ironic, considering the fact that all 19 scents being offered smell, well, pretty disgusting to me. At least, I’d imagine they would, given the actual things they based on aren’t exactly stuff any girl (or guy) would want to sniff on a regular basis.
They are: bacon, baseball glove, beer, bonfire, brewed coffee, buttered popcorn, cannabis, cash, cedar log cabin, democrat(?), fresh cut grass, margarita, muscle rub, nag champa incense, obsession cologne, red wine, republican, top soil – and, saving the best for last – urinal mint.
Each 3-ounce bar of ManHands soap is priced at $6.95.
New research, conducted by the Henry Ford Hospital’s sleep center,
indicates that snoring is a contributor to cardiovascular disease,
because it thickens the carotid arteries, the main arteries to the head
and neck. The researchers warn that snoring is, in fact, a greater risk
for atherosclerosis than smoking or obesity.
…. Misrepresentations in scientific reporting are serious offences,
undermining the most basic principles of science, those that rely on
complete objectivity, with no predetermination of result. Scientific
fraud is both unethical and, ultimately, costly, most especially where
plant, animal, and human life may be endangered by it. So it is
important to live science fields, in particular, to understand more
about factors contributing to scientific fraud in an attempt to reduce
the incidence of it. This study, undertaken by a cross-disciplinary team of life scientists looks at two of these factors: gender and career levels.
While there is much evidence that child victims of domestic violence experience psychological trauma that may lead to mental
illness, a just-published study
looks at the prevalence of domestic violence in the lives of adult men and women with mental illnesses….

Just when I think that I could find no more weird gadgets from Japan, along comes yet another ridiculous invention that’s designed to solve a single, decidedly first-world problem – unruly men’s eyebrows.
