Bigsby Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 Scotsmen shown to measure up - Scotland on SundayWell it comes as no surprise to me but I'm still grateful to these "scientists" for this report. In other news, scientists still drawing a blank on a cure for cancer or even the common cold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 Why did you put scientists in speech marks? Perhaps their research has been misreported by the Scotsman. I doubt that their actions were to give Scotsmen an ego boost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigsby Posted July 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 Just curious about the process of scientific research.Perhaps I'm naive, but I assume that there are limited resources available to the scientific community. In such circumstances I would have thought that their time could be better spent devoted to getting rid of, say, herpes.I'd certainly be grateful.

TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 I would think that this research is part of a process into something more worthwhile, and that the Scotsman has picked this up as a "fun" story to fill column inches. Looking at a lot for scientific research superficially can make it look frivolous, but I'd be confident that whatever is being looked at here is more than letting Scottish men know that they have bigger stroops than the English.

Bigsby Posted July 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 Well I for one would be interested in knowing what that process might be.As part of the scientific community you can perhaps look into it for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

framheim Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 never trust a "science" story printed in a newspaper. it's usually misinterpreted information or created as a pr exercise. if you're really interested in the process read "Bad Science" by Ben Goldacre, a brilliant book which helps explain how the scientific method should be applied and how it is usually not applied or interpreted badly by quacks, cowboys and journalists.I'd guess the main purpose of this story would be to draw attention to the urology department to try and get funding for more important research. but that's just a guess. it could also be funded by viagra or something like that.what is interesting is the idea that science resources should only be ploughed into "important" areas like cancer or curing certain diseases. how does that process work? how could we possibly decide what deserves research or not?

Oedo 808 Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 I know that Scottish people are amongst the most likely to get cancer. Maybe there's a connection with cancer and big willies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaki Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 The doctors, writing in the British Journal of Urology International, took a range of measurements from 609 men and found that the average length, extended as far as would be comfortable, was 5.6 inches. I'm not sure what to imagine here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
