Real Kato Blog: From Today's News: Jobs I Wish I Had

How does one become a "researcher", anyway?

A study indicates that the smell of grapefruit makes women seem to be younger. For test subjects who smelled like grapefruit, men thought them to be about six years younger than they actually were.

This study also involved smearing "several middle aged-women with broccoli, banana, spearmint leaves, and lavender". That would make for a slightly more interesting workday than mine.

In another study, it was found that many portions of a woman's brain shuts off when she has an orgasm. Now, they had to have women experiencing an orgasm for two full minutes while they measured brain activity with a scanner. That's right, two minutes of orgasm, while a researcher is carefully scanning you. Who says romance is dead?

Of course, they were unable to get any results for men, because for a man to have a two-minute orgasm, he'd have to have testicles the size of watermelons. And no one would want to clean up the scanning machine after THAT.

There was no indication on whether rubbing the women with bananas affected the results.

Romance is not dead. But a woman's brain is -- for up to two minutes while having an orgasm.
