I don't believe that. First of all, I think it would be very difficult to make sure that that was THE only difference between the two categories of people tested. There are so many factors which contribute to cancer so something like this can be really insignificant/irrelevent surely?! And that's not even considering the truth of these claims. I mean, something like height etc scientists can verify but they can't look into each test person's personal life!

Second of all, I doubt women will suddenly start doing it more because of this. :rolleyes: I also BET that scientist was male! :rolleyes:

Edit: As someone else pointed out, I also find the words and phrases like "may" and "suspected of" to be rather suspicious.

AH Science is so biased sometimes!

Change it to: "If you don't suck cock you get cancer"

Hmm... yes... either that or something a little more direct. :smile:

NatLane: Still can't find it - I give up and take your word for it!

. "I am surprised by these findings, but am also excited that the researchers may have discovered a relatively easy way to lower the occurance of breast cancer in women."

I don't. Is that a bad thing? Am I missing out on something? What would I find out if I did?

You're wrong, you're wrong, you're wrong! :hmpf:

Even if the article is true, which I doubt, then it only reduces it for people who were gonna get it anyway. It doesn't increase your chances if you don't!! :eek:

It's a pisstake. Seriously, how can it not be with names like "Dr. Inserta Shafteer" and "Dr. Len Lictepeen"? Also, it has CNN on it, but is on a different website. I put a search on CNN and there are no such articles on their database.

'Twas funny though.

:eek: :redface:

Well, I got some philosophy of science practice in.
There's a sliver lining to every cloud :smile:

This is absolutely priceless... :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Now I don't want to give it all away, but look out for this gem: "Only with regular occurance will your chances [of breast cancer] be reduced, so I encourage all women out there to make [[]] an important part of their daily routine..."

So there ya have it :rolleyes:

LMFAO!!!

edit: I see you've already noticed. I'll stop being a spoil sport now.

If a man were to print it out and leave it lying around (or pritt sticked into Cosmo) I'm sure it would be more convincing. Just a thought..

EDIT: To all the SPOILSPORTS who said it was a joke: quick! delete your posts before anyone else reads the thread!!


Is it so sad that I actually *have* just done this?

EDIT: Ah, just realised that you're quoted in one of Adhsur's posts. Damn. Guess she'll have to come in on the great conspiracy too...lol this is so weird!
