Who Knew?

According to a new study, more intelligent men also have better sperm. A quote from Dr Allan Pacey, an expert in fertility at the University of Sheffield:

The fact that it's possible to detect a statistical relationship between intelligence and semen quality in adult men probably says more about the co-development of brain and testicles when the man was in his mother's womb, and therefore how well they both function in adult life, rather than suggesting that playing Sudoku can somehow stimulate more sperm to be produced.

I love this comment by Brit:

"Intelligent men have better sperm" insists a team of single, broke, male academics from the Institute of Psychiatry.
