FRANKFORT, GERMANY, December 6 — A rather bizarre study carried out by German researchers suggests that staring at women’s breasts is good for men’s health and increases their life expectancy.

According to Dr. Karen Weatherby, a gerontologist and author of the study, gawking at women’s breasts is a healthy practice, almost at par with an intense exercise regime, that prolongs the lifespan of a man by five years.

She added, “Just 10 minutes of staring at the charms of a well-endowed female, is roughly equivalent to a 30-minute aerobics work-out.”

A five-year research on 500 men
Researchers at three hospitals in Frankfurt, Germany did an in-depth analysis of 200 healthy males over a period of five years. Half the volunteers were instructed to ogle at the breasts of women daily, while the rest were told to refrain from doing so.

At the close of the study, the researchers noted that the men who stared at the breasts of females on a regular basis exhibited lower blood pressure, slower resting pulse rates and lesser episodes of coronary artery disease.

Sexual desire linked to better blood circulation
The researchers declared that sexual desire gives rise to better blood circulation that signifies an overall improved health.

Weatherby explained the concept stating, “Sexual excitement gets the heart pumping and improves blood circulation. There’s no question: Gazing at breasts makes men healthy.

“Our study indicates that engaging in this activity a few minutes daily cuts the risk of stroke and heart attack in half. We believe that by doing so consistently, the average man can extend his life four to five years.”

In addition, she also recommended that men over 40 should gaze at larger breasts daily for 10 minutes.

The German research is believed to be published in the New England Journal of Medicine.

GRAND RAPIDS – This Lil’ Fatty when to Harvard, this Lil’ Fatty stayed home, this Lil’ Fatty had roast pig, this Lil’ Fatty had none…this Lil’ Fatty went “wee-wee-wee” all the way to Private Ryan’s…

Would you trust this man with your Fatty?

With the haitus of the Fatty over the 2010 season, Private Ryan has picked up the reins with his own mini-version, “The Lil’ Bastard,” scheduled to take place at the end of next month.

Eight squads of three mixed & matched Fatties have been chosen to fill out the lineup for his newly minted field. We’ll have a little summary on tap soon…

HARVARD – For those of you who may have interest, Harvard Yards will be open this Sunday for drop in play, starting around noon.
Bring a few refreshing beverages and join us for that Saturday hangover cure…wiffle ball and beer!

JOHNNY TITINSKI’S HOUSE – Director Travis Kurtz contacted us recently to share his vintage wiffle film with the Fatties.

After we checked it out, we figured you’d have to see it too, with an ode to the “Fam-i-lee” and Carlton “Pudge” Fisk: enjoy! We’d imagine that our videos will look like this too one day.

NEW YORK – So they’ve come out with this new book, Wiffle Ball: The Ultimate Guide, by Michael Hermann and Wiffle Ball Inc., and apparently, the Fatties are included as part of the “ultimate.” It includes words as well as pictures…although that makes the reading a little slower for some of us Fat Bastards.

While we haven’t seen it yet, we have ordered our copy. If you care to, its pretty reasonably priced HERE.

Here is the publisher’s description of their work:

“It’s old school and new school. It’s unique and ubiquitous. It’s yellow and white. It’s red, white, and blue. It’s one of America s favorite brands: a classic for nearly 60 years and still a fad-proof fan favorite. The Wiffle Ball remains the great equalizer, befuddling batters of all ages. It curves, zips, and zooms with a mind of its own, turning anyone into a major league pitcher. It stands alone with its eight slots of perforated perfection, distinguished by its asymmetry and unpredictability. With millions of Wiffle bats and balls sold each year, its following is unparalleled with a devotion bordering on obsession. Just ask comedian Drew Carey’s manager, Rick Messina, creator of Strawberry Field, one of the country’s premier Wiffle venues. Turning his neighbor s adjoining house into a press box and locker room with stadium seats and lights, Mussina set the gold standard for the backyard Wiffle field. In Wiffle Ball, author Michael Hermann, president of Wicked Cow Entertainment, and The Wiffle Ball Inc.’s, brand managers, gives readers an inside look at this palatial Wiffle get-up and at the best Wiffle fields around, as well as the down-and-dirty on how in 1953 a down-on-his luck shoe polish salesman and his 13-year-old son concocted the first Wiffle Ball from spare perfume packaging, turning a plastic orb into an American icon. You’ll explore The Science of Wiffle, and why a Wiffle Ball, well, wiffles. You ll also learn all the how to’s: how to build the best field; how to throw the best sinker ball; and how to best tape up a Wiffle Bat. Did you know Wiffle Bats were once made of wood? You’ll find out why here. And best of all, major leaguers and A-list celebs will share their fondest and funniest Wiffle memories. After all, who doesn’t love Wiffle Ball?“

GRAND RAPIDS – Its is with great sadness that the Fatties learn of the passing of Mike “Curvey” Lurvey late Thursday evening. Mike, aged 38, who was originally from Flushing, Michigan, played from 2004-2008, originally as a member of the Pittsburgh group, The Hooknuts, as well as a Winter Fiasco event.

Our deepest condolences to his wife, family and friends.

His OBIT is here. The services will take place in Flushing, near Flint.
