Why Do Men Have Nipples?, ...a New York Times bestseller... Options

[kodomo_ja_nai]

I picked up the book today and thought it was hilarious!!!
Here's a short book description taken from Amazon.com..

Is There a Doctor in the House?

Say you’re at a party. You’ve had a martini or three, and you mingle through the crowd, wondering how long you need to stay before going out for pizza. Suddenly you’re introduced to someone new, Dr. Nice Tomeetya. You forget the pizza. Now is the perfect time to bring up all those strange questions you’d like to ask during an office visit with your own doctor but haven’t had the guts (or more likely the time) to do so. You’re filled with liquid courage . . . now is your chance! If you’ve ever wanted to ask a doctor . . .

•How do people in wheelchairs have sex?

•Why do I get a killer headache when I suck down my milkshake too fast?

•Can I lose my contact lens inside my head forever?

•Why does asparagus make my pee smell?

•Why do old people grow hair on their ears?

•Is the old adage “beer before liquor, never sicker, liquor before beer . . .” really true?

. . . then Why Do Men Have Nipples? is the book for you.

this book, i think, is more geared towards making you laugh than giving you medical information... but hey, at least you'll have all these trivial information to tell people when you're in a bar.. or in school.. ^^

....

So has anyone read this? Care to discuss or just share passages that you found funny? Here's one from me...

Is it true that you can break your penis?

It pains us to say, but this is true.  There is no bone in your "bone," but you can rupture the penis, which is called a penile fracture.  Sudden trauma or bending of the penis in an erect state can break the thick tissue that produces an erection.
This happens most frequently during sex.  Don't expect to get a cast and crutches, though.  This injury is an emergencry and requires surgery to prevent sexual dysfunction.  Ouch!

(p.89)

Can you lose your contact lens inside your head forever? I always wondered this. Can it get stuck so that you can't get it out?

[5ayuri]

My health teacher reads us some of that when we got some time left.
I think it's a good book, and funny.

[*iNyCxShoRT*]

Well I think my friend told me that men have nipples because before they're actually born they have a bigger chance of being born as a female. 'cause we all start off as a female

[PiGo]

Can you lose your contact lens inside your head forever? I always wondered this. Can it get stuck so that you can't get it out?

I actually read this book like a couple of days ago at a friends house, and I read that question and they said you couldn't, and that the contact has no where to go. It also said that a lot of people go to the emergency room for this, but the contact was usually stuck on the underside of their eyelid, or it fell out without them noticing, and it's somewhere in their house.

[yummy_delight]

^ That's good to know. I used to think it was possible and one time I freaked out so bad, but it was just trapped under my eyelid.

I don't know why men have nipples, but I DO know that some men lactate.

[silver-rain]

Hah, that book sounds funny. I'll check it out some time.

[*jooleeah*]

Haha, I saw that at Barnes and Noble the other day. It looked cool.

[LEGITERICJONES]

If I ever work up some money I might buy it. Sounds funny.

[ANG33ZY]

haha i saw that book in Costco and jokingly said that I was going to buy it.

[*reflection*]

the book seems interesting

[AngryBaby]

you can have sex if your in a wheel chair because you can have sex while sitting down on a couch or something.

[PinkTrash]

.. Thats scary. Emergency contact room for contacts ><"
-sticks with glasses-

[annalucky]

Hahaha. I saw that book ar Barnes and Noble..I wanted to get it but I had to buy study guides for some tests.
I read an article about why men have nipples..to make the story short and not all scientific, they have nipples because women do.

[kodomo_ja_nai]

I, Billy Goldberg, would like to dedicate this answer to my dear friend caffeine.  He has been with me through good times and bad.  Without him I would not have survived the long nights of my hospital residency nor the deadline of this book.  To my friend I proclaim, "I do not hold you responsible that I am only five foot nine!"

(p.48)

yays!!! so caffeine really isn't bad then!!!

*runs to the nearest coffee shop*

[tequila_sky]

Yes! I also wear contacts and once I was so scared that it could get stuck in my eye and they would have to operate me to get it out or something! ::sigh:: its good to know!

The last fact! HAHAHAXD OWWW! ((Scary))

[Nicolatofu]

[lbjshaq2345]

what are brainfreezes anyway why do they happen?

[FREEcandies]

Brainfreeze happens when something cold touches the roof of your mouth. This sets off a series of spasms from the nerves at the roof of your mouth. These nerves also tell the blood vessels in the brain to dilate, and this causes headaches.

[clarissa]

^ interesting.

i want this book.

[ParanoidAndroid]

Aw man i wanna buy that book. It sounds hilarious! And it probably answers one of my long time questions.

Why does poo float?

Some people seem to be obsessed with the creation of the perfect poo.  My brother even called me in to examine his works of art, a true bonding moment for young boys.  Another friend described his perfect moment for us when he produced the cobra -- on that coiled around and poked its head out of the bowl.  There is something about "dropping the kids off at the pool" that makes us all smile.  So, laugh if you must, but we're sure you've wondered why some poos are floaters.

It is gas that makes poo float.  Increased levels of air and gas make it less dense and therefore cause it to float.

(p.149-150)

.....

Why would anyone really wanna know about poop floating???? Poop is poop is poop... But the intro for this response was funny..! xD
