Study confirms it-men are idiots [View all]

[packman]

"According to the available evidence, men are much more likely to be idiots (or at leas engage in idiotic behavior).

Researchers realized that even though we know men die, end up in emergency rooms, and engage in "risk-seeking" behavior much more frequently than women, scientists had never tackled "idiotic risk-taking behaviour" specifically.

They defined "idiotic" risk as senseless, "where the apparent payoff is negligible or non-existent, and the outcome is often extremely negative and often final."


Study (using the terms lightly here) goes on to cite statistics drawn from the Darwin Awards given out each year to show men are cited significantly more as engaging in idiotic behavior than women. Some of the cases are tragically humorous, like the three men playing Russian roulette with a land mine.
