14. Beer sense

Fri Feb 24, 2012, 09:01 PM

Feb 2012

Heard yesterday that scientists for HHS suggested that men should temper their beer consumption, considering the results of a recent analysis that revealed the presence of female hormones in beer. That's right, drinking beer makes men turn into women.

To test the finding, 100 men were fed 6 long necks/day for 4 weeks. At the end of the experement 100% of the men gained weight, and talked excessively without making sense. 9 outa 10 also became overly emotional, couldn't drive, and failed to think rationally.

60 subjects began to argue over nothing and refused to apologize when wrong.

No further tests are scheduled.
