Brain Study from “Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me”

Last Sunday, “Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me” ran an item on a brain study that purported to show that the same part of men's brains are activated by looking at partly-dressed women and looking at tools such as wrenches and screwdrivers. This gives a whole new meaning to the phrase “machine screw.”

Meanwhile back in the real world, the noted wet blanket Neurocritic criticizes the more far-fetched coverage of the study.
