So lately I have been using a quote from something I learned in school today as my away message...and thought it would be fun to have everyone share a funny or interesting quote that a professor said. I'll start:

"The average sexual cycle of the male, from beginning of arousal to orgasm is 2.5 minutes. For females, it's 13 minutes. No wonder women say men are speedy gonzales and men say women are frigid."

Evolutionarily speaking, why do you think that might be?

Sounds about right, except I think it's more like 10-30 seconds for men and 30min to an hour for women.

Really? my experience with women has always been that it's significantly less than 13 minutes for them to reach the summit....🙂

Because men wanted to ejaculate in as many women as possible.

In general the males of the species want to spread their DNA as much as possible to as many mates, while females want to have their babies survive (or at least survive giving babies!)

we had a discussion in pbl today about the genetic origin of our patient's familial polyposis since she was the first family member to have the genetic trait. we concluded it must have happened in the parents' germ line. the 6 girls in the class were adamant that the mutation occurred in the sperm. when i asked why, the response was "it's always the guy's fault".

hail to the fairer sex. 😛

What I learned in school today...

In H&P today we gave breast exams for the first time. You are not to leave a millimeter uncovered - even if the woman's breasts are as big as a watermelon. Luckily for me and the two guys in the group hers were! I would have loved to see my face when I saw how big they really were. I could tell that they were big under the gown but ... WOW. Seriuosly, the biggest things you ever saw. I hope I don't offend any one. It was a little funny because I think that I was more nervous than the guys in my group.

We only got plastic models for our first exposure to breast exams... for some reason, they just didn't taste the same.

They say that man has succeeded where the animals fail because of the clever use of his hands, yet when compared to the hands, the anal sphincter is far superior. If you place into your cupped hands a mixture of fluid, solid, and gas, and then through an opening at the bottom try to let only the gas escape, you will fail. Yet the anal sphincter can do it! The sphincter apparently can differentiate between solid, fluid, and gas. It apparently can tell whether its owner is alone or with someone; whether standing up or sitting down; whether its owner has his or her pants on or off. No other muscle in the body is such a protector of the dignity of man, yet so ready to come to his relief. A muscle like this is worth protecting.

- this is from last year's noteservice on the same lecture we'll be having later this week.

well, this wasn't today but in my last biochem lecture of the entire course, the head of the department put up this quote on the board:

"A beer a day, will keep the doctor away!"

In my day, EBM stood for expressed breast milk

my anatomy prof explained to us that after sexual resolution there was un upregulation of nicotinic receptors…interesting.

During my site visit with a pediatrician at a clinic in the Children's Hospital yesterday, I learned that 1 out of 100 18-yr-old US military recruits still wets the bed...
