Gone Batty

I just came across an article that indicates that apparently size does matter…Intrigued?

A new study, conducted by the (obviously) bored researchers at Syracuse University, says in bat species where the females are promiscuous, their male counterparts boast larger testicles yet had the smallest brains. Hmm. Conversely, where the females were faithful, their batty boyfriends had smaller testicles and larger brains.

Quite a concept. Small Balls = Big Brains and Big Balls = Small Brains. I can honestly say that I hope to god, for the benefit of every female or gay male out there, that this theory will never become the norm for the human race. If it ever did, it would be one hell of a trade off.

The study also found another nugget of interest…apparently in monogamous species, the average male brain size was about 2.6 percent of body weight, while in promiscuous species, the average size dipped to 1.9 percent.

In short, a cheating bat is a stupid bat. Now that is something I can agree with.

Of course, we are talking bats here, however I can attest to the fact that some men I have come across in my day and time have, in fact, acted quite “bat-like.”

Regardless, this useless and random information surely did add a moment of hilarity on an otherwise dull Wednesday evening.

When it comes to bats, size matters CNN.com
