Very clever funny article :)


It takes a lot to get Sydney men excited. A pound of cocaine; six lap-dancers in a Kings Cross strippery; a win for the mighty Blues in Rugby League's State of Origin against the despised Queenslanders might provoke a satisfied nod of the head.

But then again, for most that's just an average Friday night.

So to hear them on the radio speaking with relief and eagerness about a new medical discovery was truly something wonderful.

Actual medical researchers - that is people with proper white coats and test tubes - from Cambridge University - proper Uni, home of Isaac Newton and Charles Darwin - have proved that when men get flu, they get it worse than women.

First thing my wife said was "the researchers were men right?"  ;D

I would suspect married men, and men that cohabitate with women get it worse than single guys. 
Model One and Schallers?  Ish.

Undoubtedly so, there is only so much one organism can take.

If research was easy, it wouldn't need doing...
Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...
