My dad likes to end our weekly calls with readings from the funny notes at the end of the New Scientist magazine, mostly examples of dumb 'science' sent in by sharp-eyed readers. This is often actually funny, and only occasionally uncomfortable. Pretty sure dad's mind didn't go where mine did on reading this one out though:
"The wikipedia entry for
Ejaculatory duct obstruction notes that treatment is not without its complications:
A method to treat ejaculatory duct obstruction is transurethral resection of the ejaculatory ducts (TURED).[6] This operative procedure is relatively invasive, has some severe complications and led to natural pregnancies in approx. 20% of affected men.[7] "
That's, erm, some complication. Yes indeed.
My brain, obviously, said - hey,
snickfic would love this...
(I love, incidentally, that New Scientist has been out for a week or so and the wikipedia entry is still unamended.)
Now, someone has blown the bugle of Penguin Spuffy. I must away to some other part of wikipedia to get inspiration.
