Hi all, sorry I haven't posted in awhile. I have been in the hospital with gall bladder problems. Essentially, my gall bladder decided to go on a Columbine style rampage with my poor gut as a casualty.

Thank God, the doctor took the damn thing out.Ouch. Anyway, here is a video on a far more pleasant topic: sex appeal. Or rather, what science has to say about who we find delectable and shag worthy.

A sense of humour makes men seem more intelligent, trustworthy - and a better bet for a relationship, a study found.

Psychologist Kristofor McCarty said it appeared that men really can laugh women into bed. Mr McCarty asked 45 women to rate the personalities behind a selection of lonely hearts ads drawn up especially for the study.

Some of the ads had been chosen because they were funny, others were entirely factual. The funny men were rated as more intelligent, despite the ads containing no clues on IQ. They were also seen as more honest and better material for a relationship and for friendship, the British Psychological Society's annual conference heard. The finding could go some way to explain the sex appeal of some of Britain's favourite comedians. Mr McCarty, of Northumbria University, said: 'There was a kind of halo effect. The funny guys appear to be getting everything.

'I think men play on this - I would if I was funny. 'For a man that doesn't look like Brad Pitt, it gives them a bit of hope.
