Scientists Discover Love Nerve Posted: 2002-07-29 by Mike G Scientists have discovered a tender touch 'love nerve' linked to romance and sexual arousal. The nerves, called C tactile fibres, only react to slow stroking and stimulate the emotional part of the brain. Until now, experts have wondered what the CT fibres are for, as they're not needed for feeling objects and don't react to temperature or pain. Swedish and Canadian researchers tested their theory on a woman who'd lost all the main touch nerves in her body. They were able to stimulate the CT nerves in isolation using a paint brush and monitor her brain's reaction. When they stroked her forearm and the back of her hand she felt a faint but pleasurable non-tickling sensation. When the brush was applied to her palm, which lacks CT fibres, she did not feel anything. Scans showed areas of the brain involved in emotions were activated by stroking. The scientists found the CT fibres are unlike other touch nerves because they react to tenderness, rather than strong pressure or vibration. Hakan Olausson, of Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Gothenberg, led the research. The results of the study feature in the journal Nature Neuroscience. Story filed: 08:27 Monday 29th July 2002 Editor: Stupid asses, I found my 'love nerve' when I was only 12! A Shocking Conspiracy? Posted: 2002-07-22 by Derek H A late breaking report submitted across the news wire reveals a shocking conspiracy taking place within the BHON ranks. A shocking undercover sting operation has exposed a ring of deception deep within BHON that threatens to destroy the group at its very core. For months now, it has been suspected that some members that were once on the "banned for life" list have somehow managed to return to the good graces of BHON, while others remain forever in pergatory for their ill-chosen wingery locations. How this happens has remained a mystery until recently, when a secret undercover tape revealed a ring of bribery offered to an unnamed BHON official. More chilling than the Monica Lewinski tapes, an exerpt is available here. An international task force comprising members of the CIA, FBI, Interpol and CSIS have been assembled to investigate this alleged conspiracy. No officials in BHON were available for comment, but sources tell us that a possible Taliban link and connection to Osama Bin Laden have not been ruled out. Stay tuned for more late breaking news as the story develops... Australian Brothel hits Stockmarket Posted: 2002-07-22 by Mike B One of Australia's best known brothels, Melbourne's The Daily Planet Ltd, today announced it was going public, hoping to raise $12 million from private investors and eventually list on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX). As sharemarkets around the world sag, Daily Planet director Andrew Harris was confident that if one thing could stand up it was the sex industry. "Because the old saying that sex sells is so true, because the adult industry is so massively popular and profitable, we believe the opportunities are unlimited," Mr Harris told reporters. "The profits in this industry are so high. "This place (The Daily Planet 'gentlemen's club') makes profits of up around 60 per cent. Most of the adult industry makes 60 per cent profit which means you can pay huge dividends to investors." Editor: Hah, the stock market meets the cock market!
