FMRI Shows Man Loves Wife More Than Angelina Jolie

An anonymous reader writes "We've discussed (at length) functional MRI technology as it pertains to marketing and virtual reality, but now Esquire writer A.J. Jacobs has become the first person to go inside the controversial machine to test the science behind his sex drive. As in, he has fMRI experts read his mind as to whether he's actually more turned on by his young wife or Angelina Jolie. The results, unsurprisingly, are both geeky and hilarious. Would you subject yourself to this kind of reality check?"

    I love my wife and she is deeply beautiful (also doesn't read slashdot) but that doesn't stop Angelina from being hot.

    No, what stops her from being hot is that she doesn't look good and has mental health issues.

    And if you leave all the tables and conclusions blank when you publish the results, you have sextuple blind.

    Is a peasant betraying his comrade to his enemy an innocent death? Is a bandit, making use of the chaos in the country you ware guerilla warfare and revolution to get as much as they can an innocent death? Or were the ones killed as Sierra Maestra's cooperators by Batista's government forces innocent deaths, for which Che is somehow responsible?..

    I think you got that phrase a little backwards there. It should be, "Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read." Makes a little more sense.
