You're hoping for Vladimir Putin to be toppled from power?

Or...did that mean your computer is being mean to you?

Isn't that fishing pic of Vladmir Putin?

I hope you gave Lin a great big hug for me, even though you didn't know you were supposed to

David Moxon subjected 40 men and women to the sounds of a Maserati, Lamborghini and Ferrari, then measured the amount of testosterone in their saliva. He found everyone had higher levels of the stuff -- a measure of their arousal -- after hearing the revving exotics, but the amount the women had was off the charts.

The econobox, however, left everyone colder than a January day in Nome.

The study was commissioned by the ultra-exclusive British insurer Hiscox (we swear we're not making this up), which was curious to know how people respond to high-end luxury cars. "We knew owners of luxury cars felt a connection with the sound of their vehicles," says Steve Langan, managing director of the insurance company. "We have now scientifically proven the physical attraction people feel when it comes to cars."

To test the theory that high-performance cars get people hot, Moxon had 40 men and women listen to recordings of the three Italian exotics and a Volkswagen Polo. Everyone had significantly more testosterone after hearing the exotics, and all of the women were turned on by the Maserati. The guys, on the other hand, were drawn to the Lamborghini.

“We saw significant peaks in the amount of testosterone in the body, particularly in women," Maxon says, noting that even women who said they had no interest in cars were turned on. "Testosterone is indicative of positive arousal in the human body so we can confidently conclude from the results out today that the roar of a luxury car engine actually does cause a primeval physiological response.”

As for the Polo? Everyone had less testosterone after listening to it. That means the acceleratus interruptus of a Prius going all-electric in traffic is automotive equivalent of skin flicks starring previous secretaries of state, despite General Motors' claim that nearly nine out of 10 women would rather talk to a guy in a hybrid than a Porsche.

Don't buy it? Check out these videos of Maserati, Lamborghini and VW Polo exhaust notes and tell us how you feel afterward. Be forewarned, though -- we are not responsible for any primeval responses they cause.

For a 54-year-old, Russian President Vladimir Putin looks pretty buff. Here he's fishing in the headwaters of the Yenisey River. Looking at those arm muscles it should be no surprise that one of Putin's favorite sports is the martial art of judo.

Ashe...you are teh evol. I had to google it. "putin fishing" gah!

Um...Let me think...
You?
Lucky both of you!

A lovely, lovely lunch it was. The only thing that would've made it better would be to drive home in Yosef's classic red Corvette, all three of us snuggled together in a car built for two.

Oh well, it was too cold and blustery today for that. Yo-yo, you can cruise on over when the weather gets warmer though. Or maybe we can all get together at Amara's for Spring Break.

Well, if you *need* a car to turn a woman on . . .

Anyone realize this is the 30 yr anniversary of the Jonestown Massacre??

Just a morbid tidbit for today

Is it me, or does that look like a man in drag? Not making a joke. Seriously.

You are amazing. You never miss.

I only wish that were true. I miss all the time. Mostly I miss you.

I should have known you would be the Red Baron to my Snoopy. I have been shot down so much my parachute is getting thread bare.


Hey!
I never did get to see what the Indrya's aviator jumpsuit looks like on you. Do you have a pic?

RL Lindy? How cool is that- 'Cause lunch in SL is oddly unfulfilling...


Meaning I take is Evolution is as stupid as men having nipples- not that I agree, just what I thought it meant.



Oh my... <same arched eyebrow, different emphasis>

And think! Without it ever happening we wouldnt have the saying "Drink the Kool-Aid" meaning "to go along with the program or to allow yourself to be manipulated."

That would be about the time of this threads 1st birthday.

Ok bye! I'll see you all in a week. Have fun!
