QC FYI: Banana Spider Bites Cause Raging Hard-ons

QC FYI: Banana Spider Bites Cause Raging Hard-ons
If you suffer from a fear of spiders, we may have the cure! What if instead of hideously poisoning you, spider bites just gave you an insane boner? Well that’s just what the Brazilian banana spider does!
Its scientific name is phoneutria nigriventer, or as we like to pronounce it shamma-lamma-ding-dong. It’s about the size of a post-coital pack of cigarettes and tends to pop up on banana plantations, transport ships, and packing crates at your local Whole Foods.
The spider doesn’t bite very often—a University of Washington arachnoid expert says there’s only 7,000 documented bites with just 10 measly deaths—but the spider is still a jerk. It likes to wander around at night and hide during the day in your car and shoes. Plus its bite hurts like a bitch. But if you do get bitten, hold onto your panties because that where THE REAL FUN BEGINS!!!
A chemical component of the spider’s venom causes priapism (ie. awesome boners). If a Brazilian banana spider bites you, you’ll end up with an erection lasting several hours. Granted, this erection can be very uncomfortable, especially at the dinner table, and it can even result in impotence. But scientists are currently studying the toxin because it has proven to grant magical boners to men unaffected by Viagra!
So the next time you think about squashing a spider in your home, think about whether it could give you a penis of the Gods!!! And then squash it.

QC FYI: Do You Have The Slutty Gene?

QC FYI: Do You Have The Slutty Gene?
Do you like one-night stands? How about infidelity, horror movies, alcoholism, gambling, and voting for liberals? Then congratulations! You may have DRD4, a gene that scientists say is linked to thrill seeking and an inclination towards new social situations.
A group of scientists recently took DNA samples and sexual histories from 171 young adults and found that those with the DRD4 gene variant were twice as likely to have a history of one-night stands than those without it.
Study researcher Justin Garcia said, “The motivation seems to stem from a system of pleasure and reward, which is where the release of dopamine comes in. In cases of uncommitted sex, the risks are high, the rewards substantial and the motivation variable—all elements that ensure a dopamine ‘rush.'”
Garcia added that having the gene doesn’t give you a free pass on being a complete buttslut who likes rum, poker, and Saw movies. Sure the gene may indicate a higher likelihood of thrill seeking, but he calls the gene “associative” meaning that personal responsibility and the effect of other genes and social factors still play a factor in whether or not you cheat on your boyfriend. You could just be a horrible person… or an awesome lay who know better than to waste it on just one person.
