Bat and Balls

Lifted directly from another forum ... but quite interesting:
I read in a newspaper yesterday that at great expense researchers at Syracuse University have proved a correlation between reduced intelligence and the size of the male?s testicles ? something any woman could have told ?em for nowt.
They have looked at various species of bats and discovered that those with the largest reproductive organs have smaller brains. Where the female of the species is less faithful the male?s brain is even smaller while the tackle grows larger. A similar pattern is found amongst primates.
What does that say about humans? I have no idea, it didn?t say although the inference is, that should the female of our species behave in a more promiscuous manner the eventual outcome would be a better equipped male.
One factoid about the Thicko Bat was its testicles comprised 8.5% of its body mass. As my chums already know maths ain?t my strong point but I reckon that should SuperGonadMan finally evolve, an average 12st bloke would be staggering around with a fourteen pounder. Not a pretty sight in a pair of Speedos.
