We Didn't Need Google's Schmidt To Tell Us Android and Chrome Wouldn't Merge

Posted by samzenpus on from the keep-em-seperated dept.

First time accepted submitter Steve Patterson writes "Thankfully, Google Chairman Eric Schmidt has announced that 'Android and Chrome will remain separate.' Rumors that the products would be combined emerged last week when leadership of Android and Chrome were consolidated under Google Senior Vice President Sundar Pichai. Schmidt stated the obvious, but if you are a developer and you took the bait and thought the rumors might be true, you already read enough of Google Chrome or Google Android documentation before Schmidt's clarification and confirmed that consolidating the two products would be, well, stupid."

    Here are the facts: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's 2011 National Health Statistics study showed that among adults aged 25-44, about 98 percent of women and 97 percent of men have had vaginal intercourse, 89 percent of women and 90 percent of men have had oral sex, and 36 percent of women and 44 percent of men have had anal sex. That means one out of every three gals and almost half of the guys polled say they enjoy playing with their partners' poopers.

    I can tell you from first-hand experience that having anal sex is not the same thing as enjoying anal sex. Ask your favorite ex-con for more information.

    I can also tell you that those butt-fucking numbers are suspicious. There's a reason the oral/vaginal numbers are basically identical for men and women -- A man can't have sex with a woman unless a woman also has sex with a man. So an 8% difference in male vs female butt fucking means either

    1. There's a lot of man-on-man butt sex
    -or-
    2. There's a lot of men lying

    Most research puts homosexual/bi-curious rates at under 5% -- and many "bi-curious" men limit themselves to blowjobs and masturbating (AIDS much?) But if we were to assume the 8% difference is due to man-on-man buttfucking... well, gay men have anal sex. Film at 11. Not exactly a compelling reason for a woman to go down on a straight man's asshole.
