84.0. "Intelligence and Size" by GYMAC::PNEAL (Hi, I'm DECresource 111xxx) Tue Aug 03 1993 11:35

	I heard on the radio this morning that an English Professor
	has found a correlation between the size of a mans - thingy -
	and his intelligence (measured I think he said by IQ).

	Comments ?

    You have got to be kidding???
    
    I did hear that your ring size is close to your shoe size, though.

    I would speculate that said English professor possesses a - thingy -
    whose size would indicate high intelligence...according to the theory.

    AAAH! That would explain of the angle of the dangle therom!!:)

 Don't tell me; they guy claims intelligence and organ size are inversely
proportional.

    What a riot!!!!!!   I haven't laughed this hard in a long time!!!   
    Too bad I had food in my mouth at the time...choke, choke.
    
    
    I have noticed a direct correlation between IQ size and "thingy" size
    when some men see an attractive woman walking down the hallway.   Yep,
    IQ size immediately shrinks...right down to crotch level!!!
    
    
    Only kidding.   This is really funny though!!

84.6old rule of sociologyCSSE::NEILSENWally Neilsen-SteinhardtTue Aug 03 1993 16:414
If you analyze enough data, anything can be correlated with anything.

Slightly more seriously, both may be related to general viability, 
especially in the range of low viability.  
84.7Oh pahhleeze.... BLASTA::PelkeyTue Aug 03 1993 20:0010
So can I hope that the smaller the size would lead to 
a higher intelligence...


If so,,,

84.9NOVA::FISHERUS Patent 5225833Wed Aug 04 1993 11:524
    of course not, they were testing your the old fashioned, socially
    acceptable way, not with the modern scientific method.

	The professor was from Cambridge University - which should give
	some credibility to his research. Then again he is English !! :-)

	The relationship was said to be proportional but they didn't
	say more than that. Of course there are exceptions to every rule..

    We do have a saying in Austria:
    
    "SO WIE DIE NASE DES MANNES,
     SO SEIN JOHANNES"
    
    I'm not able to translate this, but it does mean that there
    is a correlation between the size of a mans thingy and his
    nose...  ;-)

84.12A rough translationGYMAC::PNEALHi, I'm DECresource 111xxxWed Aug 04 1993 14:2912
	A rough translation would be something in the order of;

	Like the nose of the Man
	Is his Johhny

	Or

	A Man's thingy is like his nose

	Puts and interesting perspective on things, doesn't it ?

>	Like the nose of the Man
>	Is his Johhny

	I heard once that it was foot size and  - thingy - size that 	
	corrolated.

	Anyone seen the Van Damme movie "Nowhere to Run?" In it a little 
	girl says about Van Damme "He has a big penis." Her mother says,
	"No he doesn't. It's average size." The crestfallen look on Van
	Damme's face is worth the price of the rental. :-)

84.14i agree...who cares?VAXWRK::STHILAIREFood, Shelter & DiamondsWed Aug 04 1993 15:4111
    re .13, I haven't seen the Van Damme movie but it reminds me of what
    a guy I dated said to me several months ago.  He asked me if I thought
    he was bigger than average, and said that one woman he dated told him
    he had the biggest one she had ever seen.  I said, "Yeah?  Well, maybe
    she doesn't get out much."   :-)  :-)
    
    He was so proud of it, I just had to knock him down a peg.  (and we're
    not talking a dummy here...we're talking MIT grad).

    In my college anatomy class,  the instructor was trying to explain
    that most men's "thingys" were roghly the same size when "excited"
    when a girl in the class piped up with the now immortal,
    "Oh no they're not"!.

     If this theory is true, then the next time i get "excited" my
    IQ will rise with the rise of size. So this is how Einstine, Galileo,
    Dante, Mozart,Dostoyevsky, Van Gogh, etc. etc. stumbled upon such
    great things. Hmmmm maybe next time i get excited I should try to
    write a novel or maybe an opera or try my hand at oils on canvas....
    
    
         just a thought..........

    I know a sick-ie who took his penis and aplyed it first to an ink
    blotter then ran around the womens dorms marking the doors, walls, and
    halls with an errect one.:) The mark of the 'Phantom Penis' was his
    handle.:) The lad was sh*t faced when he did it.

    The MIT part reminds me:
    
    You can always tell an MIT graduate
             but
    You can't tell him much!

    Very nice retort -- but the jerk apparently got further with you than
    he deserved.

    Yes I do ...
    
    BTW - I spent many a night in college arguing at 5'8" I had an
    advantage over Kareen Abdul-Jabbar (7'4") when it came to perception
    given the same equipment.
