World News From Paul

World News Today
I like to think i am a very knowledgeble person. I listen to the radio (ok, mostly music), watch television (and while zapping sometimes even manage to catch some news)and read newspaper (for some reason my mother has a subscription). While sucking in all that information sometimes i come across information that should be shared with other people.Of course you don't have an invasion of Iraq everyday nor do you see the berlin wall crumbling all the time. Anyway, i have tried my best to gather interesting stories.
Here is a short selection of the news of the past 24 hours i came across :-D:

• There is a german plastic surgeon who send out a warning that it's not good for women to participate in beach volleyball. It seems beach volleyball is rather popular in Germany. Lot's of girls like to jump around in bikini or even topless so they say (and i am sure there will be lot's of guys in the audience ;-). Now the problem the surgeon describes is that because of all thejumping up and down, the breasts can start sagging. It seems not just a problem for women with larger breasts but even for thosewith more modest cupsizes. So ladies .. beware. Actually according to this report, guys are also at risk. Their private parts also should not be hopping around too much.
• Another item says that again in germany (they have some interesting ideas there) a guy at the university of Frankfurt has identified the areain the brain that controls the male penis. For almost a 100 years there has been a debate going on (i have to admit i missed it completely)about what part of the brain controls the penis. Finally this guy from Germany got together a small group of volunteers. He then did the following experiment. He stuffed the volunteerd (all guys of course) in an MRI scanner and then tickled bits of their bodies with a feather while keeping his eyes firmly fixed on the brain activity monitor of course. The report states that every man's penis (when properlytickled) was represented in the same place, flanked by the areas for the toes and abdomen. This guy stated on a meeting in Toronto:"The only depressing thing is that the representation is very small." Now the big question is .. how would tickling a women's body parts show up on an MRI scan. There is no report of that. There is a bit of fear however that it would resemble the 4th of july fireworks display :-). Ah well,maybe we should just conclude that the man's penis is out of control ;-).

There was some more news about flooding, war and all that, but unfortunately no more time already. Happy reading !
