I must have missed out, or I have never caught my wife bent over!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Rippin]

I wonder if a messy house is indicative of a sub-clinical illness.

Good thought. Good longititudinal research would theoretically catch a large portion of that but definitely not all - some sub-clinical stuff stays that way.

Work, leisure, and housework? This study is not flawed much.

Yes we do! LOL!

Not until after she puts your clothes in the washer.

Somewhere behind this story is a "wink and a nod".

LOL

I'm so glad to hear that other women experience the same! However, it makes no difference to NerdDad whether I'm bent over or not, if he gets a chance to, he's gonna *ahem* "assert his dominance"!!

I am SO hosed though!! I have packs of dust bunnies!!

[TheMom]

Well, I'm dead.

Me, too.

Guess I need monthly mammograms now!

[NerdDad]

"assert his dominance"

'Scuuuuse me!! There is no dominance asserting involved. We men are simply expressing our love and letting yall know that we love and desire you -- even in your grubby moments.

[TheMom]

You are such a great and caring husband.

[TheMom]

So is using the iron as a doorstop . . .

What is this iron thing you speak of?

[Hildy]

Oh, great. As if I don't have ENOUGH risk factors for breast cancer! :)

It's still in progress, I'm an active participant in it. It appears to work so well we may have to release the results early for ethical reasons. I'd recommend all men immediately go out and fish, hunt, camp or metal detect. Additional information seems to be indicating that golfing, driving cars with large horsepower to weight ratios or tight handling characteristics, driving trucks on unpaved surfaces, and shooting sports in general may have significant benefits too, and the effects multiply when activities are done back to back.

Both my grandfathers are alive, my greats didn't pass that long ago, and I have a photo of me with a great great grandfather born 3 years before the end of the civil war. This is proven anecdotal science :-) You need to get off your ass and get a fishing pole in your hands immediately, your life could depend on it!

What a bunch of BS!

[editor-surveyor]

The Femi-NAZI are not going to take this laying down; will they sweep it under the carpet?

[my_pointy_head_is_sharp]

That's stupid. It's probably your house that GIVES you cancer. What with all the synthetic materials and chemical products. Ammonia, cleansers, bug spray, hair spray, bleach, outgassing of carpets (and cars), plastics, vinyl -- I can't even think of the multitude of products that we have to breathe and come into contact with each day. What a ridiculously flawed study.

[Razz Barry]

I'm waiting for the study that shows shopping cuts risk of breast cancer.
