Study finds sex changes men's behavior LONDON, April 19 (UPI) -- A new study finds men with higher levels of testosterone are more likely to make irrational decisions when shown sexual images. The study was carried out by the Proceedings of the Royal Society B. It split 176 heterosexual men into groups, some of whom were exposed to various sexual images, the others weren't. Then they were put in a lab version of a communal game where with another person where they had to decide how to split $10. If they didn't come to an agreement, neither received the money. The study found those with higher testosterone and exposed to sexual images agreed to less favorable splits than others, the BBC reports. Dr. George Fieldman of Buckinghamshire Chilterns University College said the study shows men become impulsive when fed "sexual cues." He said similar studies with women haven't found similar results. get the fuck outta here.

i think that id want something much stronger than suction cups if i were going to be mounting a camera on a vehicle.
-
and it costs less, too!

normally i think modding a cavalier is a pretty dumb idea, but, if it gets you to stop fucking with the volvo, im all for it.

ha. doc, paying cash for something. thats rich. *grin* seriously though, with all of the bs that was talked last year, itll be dope to actually see this go down. heres hoping the rest of the c-town boys come down and represent as well.

seems to be a lot of that going aROUND. heehee.

chris, be honest, you didnt serve up a first rate insult because you arent able to. that and the fact that all anyone has to bring up is how gay you are and you = teh l0s3r.* seriously though, this argument is getting really old and gay, and it wasnt exactly macho to begin with. everytime i see a thread like this, i feel exactly the same way as when my cousin lindsay sends me a birthday/christmas/easter card and fills it up with confetti. i just know im going to open it up, and freaking pink sparklies are going to go flying everywhere and theres going to be huge, bubbly writing in yellow ink. you guys are killing me. *- this l337-speak has been brought to you by too much time on the fucking intarweb. chris, if you fuck with me, ill turn your damn phone off.

lot of circular thinking in this thread.

i wouldnt pay more than 16 for it. on another note, mines for sale. *grin*

wow, that would really suck. the rabbit didnt feel a thing, man. "well, i reckon the big rabbit gets fucked." "proper fucked?" "yeah tommy, before 'zee germans' get there."

..when youve got coal. check it, Coal-to-diesel Breakthrough Could Drastically Cut Oil Imports Professor Alan Goldman and his Rutgers team in collaboration with researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill have developed a way to convert carbon sources, such as coal to diesel fuel. http://www.sciencedaily.com/images/2006/04/060414014526.jpg Postdoctoral Associate Ritu Ahuja demonstrates catalyst material to graduate student Elizabeth Pelczar and Prof. Alan Goldman. (Credit: Joseph Blumberg) This important advance could significantly cut America's dependence on foreign oil -- what President Bush called "an addiction" in his 2006 State of the Union address. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, our 286 billion tons of coal in the ground translate into energy reserves 40 times those of oil. Goldman explained that the breakthrough technology employs a pair of catalytic chemical reactions that operate in tandem, one of which captured the 2005 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. This dynamic chemical duo revamps the Fischer-Tropsch (FT) process for generating synthetic petroleum substitutes, invented in 1920 but never developed to the point of becoming commercially viable for coal conversion. The FT process recently gained national attention through the efforts of Brian Schweitzer, governor of coal-rich Montana, who has been publicly extolling the potential of Fischer-Tropsch. The Goldman group's innovations eliminate shortcomings in the process that can finally make it a workable solution to dwindling domestic oil reserves. "The key to energy independence in the next five decades is Fischer-Tropsch chemistry, amended and enhanced," said Goldman, a professor in the department of chemistry and chemical biology at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey. "The study of catalysts, the little molecular machines that control chemical reactions, is my field. With our new catalysts, one can generate productive, clean burning fuels with Fischer-Tropsch, economically and at unsurpassed levels of efficiency." This discovery is reported in the April 14 issue of the journal Science by Goldman and his colleagues. The work grew out of a National Science Foundation-funded research consortium, the Center for the Activation and Transformation of Strong Bonds, based at the University of Washington. Fischer-Tropsch yields a wide distribution of molecular weight hydrocarbon products but without any way to control the desired mix. The molecular weight is the weight of a molecule of a substance, or the sum of the weights of all atoms in the molecule. The low-weight and the high-weight Fischer-Tropsch products are useful -- the light as gas and the medium-heavy as diesel fuel, Goldman explained. "The problem -- the greatest inefficiency of the process -- is that you also wind up with a substantial quantity of medium-weight products that are not useful and you are stuck with them," Goldman said. "What we are now able to do with our new catalysts is something no one else has done before. We take all these undesirable medium-weight substances and convert them to the useful higher- and lower-weight products." Technically, this is accomplished by a catalyst that removes hydrogen from the molecules. This converts the hydrocarbons to olefins, products with double bonds which are necessary for the creation of the desirable, useful end-products. The beauty of the new process is that it is highly selective in which hydrogen atoms it removes from the hydrocarbons, channeling the reactions to produce specific, useful products. The researchers combined this process with the action of a second catalyst, one which promotes olefin metathesis, for which the 2005 Nobel Prize was awarded. Metathesis means "to change places" and, here, the double-bonding atom groups change places with one another. Through this reaction, the second catalyst rearranges the molecular weight distribution of the olefins. The first catalyst then replaces the hydrogen atoms onto the new rearranged olefins; this returns the olefins back to their original hydrocarbon form, but now with a new, more desirable weight distribution.

...but cant understand half of cr? Olnysrmatpoelpecan raed tihs. *cdnuolt blveiee taht I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd waht I was rdanieg.

and no sex in the champagne room.

oh, you meant "etiquette". i got it. i agree with your rant. write that down, because that may be the first time ive ever agreed with you about anything. on the other hand, what the fuck is your non-license having ass doing driving anywhere, including the pull up window at kfc?
