Default So, any good fathers here?

Do men with small balls make good fathers? That may sound ridiculous, but Emory University scientists have found that men who tend to enjoy being a nurturing parent also tend to have smaller testicles.
I was actually browsing news sites looking for a story about a testicle eating monkey that fotze alluded to and saw this...sooo, for you dads out there, do you have a little bitty sac or are you a dick?

I got into a screaming match with my two-year-old at our local pool on Sunday in front of hundreds, so...no.

I just had a series of people come into my home and assess my ability to be a good dad for our adoption. I thought they were pretty invasive and at times it was pretty annoying.

I guess I should just be happy that they didn't whip out the tape measure and ask me to drop my drawers.

Although it would have certainly sealed the deal in my favor...

I really don't have a good sense of the size of my testicles? How do you measure them anyway? Dunk them in water and measure displacement? What is an average size?

I was laughing at this post so my wife asked why. She informs me that they use an orchidometer.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orchidometer

The more you know! (Displacement seems more accurate to me as well)

The article I read about it seemed to suggest that perhaps you had small balls becuase you were a good father, not the other way around. That just seems like a much more plausible angle.
