Our happy hour fact to amaze your drinking buddies with.
In an experiment involving lab rats, sex was correlated with adult brain growth.
Since previous studies have shown that stressful, unpleasant situations can hinder brain growth, researchers from Princeton University wanted to see if stressful but pleasurable situations -- like sex -- would achieve the opposite effect. So, they divided male lab rats into three groups: The rats in one group were given sex partners daily, the second group got set up with female companionship once every two weeks and the third group got nothing at all.
The rats that had regular sex showed adult brain growth, as well as an increase in the connections between brain cells. As a possible effect of their larger brains, the sexually experienced rats were less anxious and quicker to eat food in an unfamiliar environment than the un-sexed rodents.
If you can't figure out a way to use this study to get more action from your wife or girlfriend, you really need to be having more sex.
I could have told you that.
Amongst other things.
No wonder she says I got the big head.
In a nice sort of way.
This might explain the rattling noise between my ears lately.
You can stop it from growing by placing a pillow up against the headboard.
Wut?
Okay, porn stars, prostitutes and congressmen have the biggest brains.
I get it.

Hmmmm...so I guess all those years telling Mom and Dad I was studying in my room..I was kind of right....LOL
I think the past growth has totally filled the cavity!
Will more growth give me a headache?
This must be why Bill Clinton was such a reknowned policy wonk.
No, but you can go blind.
Which one? The little one or the big one?
Horny Martian Bump.
Why do rats get all the cool gigs? I would have gladly volunteered.
JERRY: Yeah. I mean, let’s say this is your brain. (Holds lettuce head) Okay, from what I know about you, your brain consists of two parts: the intellect, represented here (Pulls off tiny piece of lettuce), and the part obsessed with sex. (Shows large piece) Now granted, you have extracted an astonishing amount from this little scrap. But with no-sex-Louise, this previously useless lump, is now functioning for the first time in its existence. (Eats tiny piece of lettuce)

But did they study those rats that masturbated a lot?
David Letterman played in that?
There isn’t enought Tylenol in the universe. Phew!
