My mother in law has always claimed her doctor (1950"s) instructed her to "cough" her 4th baby out. She was a heavy smoker so she was really good at it.

I guess since sperm is "dry", women are 100% responsible for the wet spot as well. Hmmm. No wonder women's lib has been such a battle. You just can't argue with wisdom such as this.

I certainly hope there ISN'T time travel. I never never want to go back in time. No dry sperm for me.

Which one? The sneezing, or the cold/hot hypothesis?

I think the cold/hot one has been tested–grab a thermometer. It's a lot easier than when they hunted down "hibernating" bears and took rectal temps to prove that they weren't actually hibernating–just sleeping. Which only made the study a lot more dangerous.

I have never seen a study that looked at sneezing as a delivery method. It might not be all that easy to get by the IRB.

I'm sorry, but has this actually been disproven by the scientific method?

OMG, that is sooo nasty! With all that wisdom, it is amazing anyone ever managed to procreate.
