	Geniuses and criminals do their best work on their 30's and what for? Enter the AD-FREE zone

to impress girls.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

LONDON, England (Reuters) -- Geniuses and criminals may not seem to have much in common but they both do their best work in their 30s -- and mainly to impress the opposite sex.

When Satoshi Kanazawa, of the University of Canterbury in New Zealand, studied biographies of prominent, mostly male scientists he discovered that they made their key discovery before their mid 30s, around the same age that criminal behavior peaks.

He believes the male competitive urge to attract females is a driving force for the scientific and criminal achievements, according to New Scientist magazine.

"They do whatever they do" in order to win the sexual attention of women, Kanazawa said.

He added that the competitive drive decreases with age and as men's priority shifts from competing for women to taking care of their offspring.

"Kanazawa also found that marriage dampens the drive in both arenas," the magazine added.

LTEC!, many guys think about that.. 'do I get to be naked' runs through most of job seekers mind when they browse through possibilities.

Besides, many real criminals do have hot girls. I don't know about scientists though.. maybe some of them do too.

You know, that many criminals (I believe, I have never read any researches) starts as criminals because they fantasize about those hot girls, lots of money, little danger and just being cool. What separates 'normal' people from many 'criminals' is that we realise it's just a fantasy, and unlikely pays off.. It's not so cool when Bubba cornholes you in your 4 by 6 luxurious room.

And that's why I have designed the perfect business yet to be launched.. 'be a godfather for a day'. You get to be cool mafioso without the bad and unfortunately realistic side effects. Only the good stuff.

A different spin on the same study. It's not reaching 30 so much that shuts off creativity and brain power in men. It's marriage!

quote: But, regardless of age, the great minds who married virtually kissed goodbye to making any further glorious additions to their CV. Within five years of making their nuptial vows, nearly a quarter of married scientists had made their last significant contribution to history's Hall of Fame. "Scientists rather quickly desist [from their careers] after their marriage, while unmarried scientists continue to make great scientific contributions later in their lives," says Kanazawa.

Ack! I knew it. Women really do suck the life out of men!

This backs up the theory that the human brain was naturally selected because it was used to impress the opposite sex, rather than for survival reasons. We could survive quite happily with smaller brains. It is love that grew the brain. Our minds are the equivalent of a peacocks tail.

We could hack off one of Keith Richards' arms, roll it up in a Phillie Blunt and smoke it. THAT would be a pretty intense high.

And it's not women sucking the life out of men. Men suck the life out of women by trying to put their names on everything - i.e. marriage, tattoos, boob jobs, clothing, makeup, high heels, etc.

If some ******* decided to marry Mother Theresa, he'd probably rename her Hooty McBoob or Chesty LaRue just to 'express himself'. Then he'd make her get a boob job, and he'd make her think it was her idea the whole time, and then he'd find some other part of her to critique.

It's the universal iniquity: men get this handy, dandy little hose attachment for the release of the bladder, and they just go around trying to see who can pee on the most stuff, thereby 'marking their territory' and thus 'claiming what's theirs'.

Women would have made better use of a penis. Like not freezing your ass off when you have to take a pee in the Sierras in the spring. Ever tried to dig a hole through frozen dirt? And then have to squat over a ****ing icy hole to try to convince yourself that you can relax enough to pee?

Bubba's not sounding so bad anymore. At least it's not cold in here. And at least half the time (well, when he's not around) the company in here is pretty good.
