Stare at boobs for 10mins a day to live an additional 5yrs!

Not this one again! Snopes debunked this in 2007, gentlemen, so can you all please find a new fantasy? And please, check any such stories at Snopes.com or the About.com urban legends page (which I find more intuitive to navigate) before posting. They debunked it in 2000. It makes us look awfully gullible when such things show up here.
Some of us, of course, want to remain on the safe side. Snopes isn't infallible, y'know...

#24  New research suggests p is overly demonized

But new research out of the University of Montreal suggests that p is so widely digested, and with such a seemingly low correlation to "pathological" behavior, that it is grossly over-demonized. The research is funded by the Interdisciplinary Research Center on Family Violence and Violence Against Women.

Simon Louis Lajeunesse, a postdoctoral student and professor at the School of Social Work, set out to examine the effects of p on men, which would involve studying men in their 20s who've never consumed p. "We couldn't find any," he says.

#23  I think it was Hitchens who said, they're like martinis - one's not enough, three's too many.

Nonetheless, I believe we need to take a precautionary stance on the matter until the definitive science comes in.

#21  I just look the women in the eye, tell them the truth, then duck for cover, I am 53.

#20  I don't know, guys. If my wife catches me staring at other women's boobs, my life will definitely NOT be extended for five years.

Not so here, we have an agreement, look all you want, touch and your hand gets broken.
My wife is well endowed, sometimes she'll point out some absolute spectacular sets, I point out exceptionally Built men, we both enjoy looking. (No Hands broken yet in 36 years of marriage, and counting)

#18  Most likely the person who conceived and conducted this study was a boob. However, just to hedge my bets...where did I put my mirrored sunglasses?

#16  This is one stimulus that has my support.

#15  I'm not going to wait for the science to be confirmed on this one. I think the catastrophic risk to men means that the state HAS to step in and ensure 10Mins of Boobage per day for every adult male.

This will be paid for by a tax on A and B cup bras.

#12  Chris, that is not true. There are some boobs that should never be seen. There needs to be an age limit.

#6  Just because Snopes says it's fake doesn't mean it isn't accurate. I say we continue to investigate.
