To Banana or Not to Banana: Bicycle Seat Issues (1)
on BikeHacks (7) permalinkI ran into an article via the Los Angeles Times that starts with this: When a research study in a peer-reviewed journal appears with the title “Cutting Off the Nose to Save the Penis” … well, forgive me, but I’ve got to take a look. I would tend to agree. That is a study that, ahem, raises my curiosity. Is it merely an urban legend that the traditional “banana” bike seat can cause sexual dysfunction ...Shared by emersunn (33)Contribute comment

Ideas, Execution, and the Rare Auteur (23)

Should Consumers Be Able To Opt-Out Of Phone Book Deliveries? [Polls] (3)

Whiney Pilots Complain That Stingy Airlines Are Forcing Them To Fly "Uncomfortably Low On Fuel" [We're Running Out Of Fuel, Sir] (26)

No, instead they're whining to NASA that they're being forced to fly "uncomfortably low on fuel" and that "safety for passengers and crews could be compromised." These flight simulator jockeys want more fuel, but that isn't likely to happen anytime soon even with oil at $117 a barrel and crashing fast. The FAA finds the situation perfectly acceptable.
