  1. Plumbers lead to greater sex? by Vertana · · Score: 5, Funny

    What does Mario leading to "greater sex" have anything to do with Nintendo's history? On a side note... I shoulda been a plumber. I never knew that plumbing and jumping would lead to better sex. Thanks for the life tip Slashdot!

    video gaming has never, doesn't, and will never improve the sex life of any one. unless it happens to be a female who plays video games, in which case every male video game player wishes to have sex with her.

    Fellow geeks. Mario cannot 'improve' your sex life.

    How do you know? None of us have one to be improved.
