Blog update

A couple of minor fixes and changes have been made to the layout of this Blog by notburger and myself. Just a notice that shoutmix is temporarily moving to a new server so I had to change it to a temporary shoutbox for now. I know it's kinda crap looking, but theres nothing I can do about it for now unless you guys have a better idea.
Any new ideas for the blog are welcome.
Also, we should change our HT7 slogan.
Any ideas?

On another note, the MX today had an article on penises. It states that Hong Kong men's penises are in fact not much shorter than someone of european origins. An interesting article indeed. But it did remind me of something Roger said today in our biochem class.

It may look like a needle, but it works like a sewing machine.

Let no one doubt the reproductive abilities of asians.

edit: found the article.

Chinese men have no reason to feel inferior about the size of their penises, according to a Hong Kong study which showed local men measured up to others elsewhere in the world below the belt.

"Our conclusion is that Hong Kong people are no smaller than Western men, where their penises are concerned," said Chan Lung-wai, director of the Urology Center at the Union Hospital, who headed the study. "There has always been the myth that westerners have bigger penises and their (sexual) ability is better."

A group of scientists in Hong Kong spent five months from October last year measuring 148 ethnic Chinese volunteers aged between 23 and 93. The average length of their flaccid penises was 3.33 inches, which compared favorably with similar studies on other men overseas. Germans have average lengths of about 3.4 inches, Israelis 3.27 inches, Turks 3.07 inches and Filippinos 2.89 inches. Italians were the longest at 3.54 inches, and Americans averaged 3.46 inches.

The study did not measure the penises when they were erect. It found that a man's height bore no relation to the length of his member, but those with higher body mass indexes, or fat content, appeared to have shorter penises. "It seems that as someone gets older and fatter, his blood vessels change, so the penile size is not static. It may be a reflection of the condition of the person's blood vessels," Chan said, adding that this could spur yet another study.

"The study did not measure the penises when they were erect"

OK so the study is a load of bullshit then :D. Measurements of erect length are obviously what's important to sex.

Also Shaun I think he's talking about the motto under the name, not the name of the blog.

Oh yeah, and self-selection polls (ie they asked for "volunteers" for this) don't prove anything either.

you guys aren't from hong kong anyway are you?
but anyway, asians are clearly the masters of reproduction, no one is doubting that, but that might just be coz they don't make condoms that small.

I agree with that. Erect ones r what counts, thought shouldn't the size differences b/w erect and flacid have some kind of correlation?
