Oh bullshit. AVERAGE? That means that half of men get MORE than 11 erections per day. Sometimes I go DAYS without getting a boner, man. Even when my woman gets out of the shower and bends down to dry off her feet and wiggles that ass in my face with her pussy peeking outta her thighs at me, I still don't dwang it up.

He confused that email card with another x-mas card and forwarded it to all of his family.

Soon you can use your heartbeat as your password;
The team over at a University in Taiwan has successfully tested the concept of translating a human heartbeat into an encryption key by using and electrocardiograph (ECG) reading from a person’s palm and capturing the unique signature a person’s heart makes. Once extracted, a secret key is generated as part of an encryption scheme.

that doesnt seem like it would be very effective...

either a lot of false negatives or a lot of false positives... probably both... biometrics are advancing a lot, but heart beat? doesnt seem like a very constant thing to use for a biometric security measure... what if some hot chick walks by why the thing scans your palm? heart beat speeds up... false negative... guys in black suits come down and throw you in jail for trying to break into the building... sounds like a pretty fuckin bad day...

Imagine this: you're having a heart attack and you call 911.  They use  your bio security to confirm you're medical history and insurance info.  Can't be read because of the heart attack and they end up treating you for being to lazy to have insurance!

Maybe someone has the terms "ejaculating" and "sneezing" confused. Both do produce a quick spray of cloudy bodily fluid,... but that's probably where all similarities stop.

I always found this stuff weird, but it's historical and you see stories about it pop up from time to time. India is the most well known for it:
