"Study Finds Fellatio May Reduce Breast Cancer"

That's what I read on an internet printout posted on one of the doors in my dorm. Naturally, I was intrigued, so I investigated. A quick google search pulls this up, which looks suspicious for several reasons: (1) It's a pdf not hosted on CNN.com (in a file called gulp.pdf), and (2) The researchers say some rather un-researchy things (ie "Since the emergence of the research, I try to fellate at least once every other night to reduce my chances."). Just to double check, I did a Google News search and, although there are some articles that cite the study, it turns out, to my dismay, to be a hoax - although there is a rather interesting story behind it. Which leaves me somewhat disappointed as I had already thought of a good one-liner for the article, but here goes anyway: One has to wonder then, especially when coupled with the finding that masturbation or frequent ejaculation for males cuts the risk of prostate cancer (that article is real by the way), whether this will become a new euphemism: "What are you two doing in there?" "Ehhh... preventing cancer!"

Oh, and by the way, I'm feeling better since the last post.
