Coffee and… cream?
According to a group of Brazilian scientist, coffee makes sperm go faster. The study sought to establish if caffeine could be a viable component of an infertility treatment for men.
University of Sao Paulo researcher tested sperm quality in 750 men. They ranged from frequent coffee drinkers to those who never drank coffee.
Regardless of amount of coffee ingested, sperm motion, sperm concentration and hormone levels remained the same. “However, sperm motility was higher in patients who drink coffee compared those who do not,” says the team.
Another study found that marijuana had a detrimental effect. Marijuana smoking reduces both the quantity and volume of sperm produced.
Like coffee, marijuana causes sperm to swim faster, but only temporarily. Then the sperm experience a “burnout.”

A spokesman for the police stated, “The crow was completely smashed.” They reported that it was being kept in a local animal home and had yet to awaken.

The handyman can
Austrian technicians are using a system of thought transference to enable a paralyzed man to lift his hand and drink from a glass, achieving a medical first.
Thanks to a “brain-computer interface” developed by a research team in Graz, 27-year-old Thomas Schweiger has been able to perform the simple, but for him previously impossible, actions for the first time since he was paralyzed from the neck down in a swimming accident in Malta in 1998.
