Nuggets from a news article

Recommended Posts

The following paragraph from a news article made me smile.

Quote

In particular, they found that men with a predilection to risky, dangerous behaviour who have to compete for access to females would be more open to infections.
But John Oxford, Professor of virology at the University of London, disagrees.
He says his team at the University of London deliberately infected men and women with the flu virus.
He says there was no noticeable difference between their recovery times or their immunity.
"But the women did complain more," he added.



So now I know why I am susceptible to the flu - its cause I have to compete for access to females - I thought marriage should have cured that:P

In context http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/8584675.stm

The women probably complained more because even with the flu they were still doing everything where as the men just slept on the couches...:P

If they were women worth having they would be doing everything quietly so their men could get much deserved rest. By the way, why are you posting when you should be vacuuming or something?
