Enzyme good for sex also good for trees

upi.com — Swedish researchers have found that an enzyme that aids sexual performance in human males helps spruce trees develop stronger root systems. Think we can all agree we don't need healthy spruce trees

  • JedicodeWarrior, on 12/21/2008, -0/+20Trees need loving too.
  • inactive, on 12/21/2008, -3/+23Comments like that leave me stumped!
    You should try branching out!
    I don't mean to Bark at you but at least you could turnover a new leaf.
  • AmyVernon, on 12/21/2008, -8/+27I've had a few boyfriends who were dumb as trees, so I gues this kinda makes sense.

  • cazbot, on 12/21/2008, -0/+14This article is full of fail.

    Arginine is not an enzyme and nor is it something new or previously unknown. Its is an amino acid and every living thing makes it in their bodies. Without and ability to make it you would die. The fact that it helps plants grow is nothing new either. I hadn't before heard that it can help sexual performance. I guess that's new.
  • newms32, on 12/21/2008, -0/+9Buried for being wrong

    Arginine is not an enzyme, it's an amino acid. Otherwise known as one of the 20 building blocks of life. Something as basic as this is going to have a lot of effects on a lot of things, so it's not like this is some kind of amazing connection.
  • triobot, on 12/21/2008, -1/+8why would i want to impregnant?
  • MadN, on 12/21/2008, -0/+7When you finally have sex, it will be more fun on weed.
  • spaceman84, on 12/21/2008, -3/+10Does it also help weed? Because weed helps sex. Then the circle would be complete.
  • shedourskin, on 12/21/2008, -0/+7Moments? Broad?
    Sounds like you're quite the catch.
  • DustyinBFE, on 12/21/2008, -0/+6There is a difference between sex and reproduction. That's running along the lines of telling someone who is fixed that they have no need to have sex any longer.
  • inactive, on 12/21/2008, -2/+8All I can think of is that Superstar girl and her armpits.
  • ieee, on 12/21/2008, -1/+7"Think we can all agree we don't need healthy spruce trees"

    Um, we live on a planet with over 6 billion people, projected to increase to 12 billion within 40 years, a planet with pollution, deforestation, and global warming.

    I think we need healthy trees more than we need more people *****.
  • rolf, on 12/21/2008, -1/+7"Think we can all agree we don't need healthy spruce trees"

    Um, wut?
  • s0m31john, on 12/21/2008, -2/+8It says women are sluts and go for the bad dumb guy instead of the smart nice guy.
  • shitforbrains, on 12/21/2008, -0/+5All this time and all I needed was stronger roots. Um I mean my spruce trees needed stronger roots. Ahem.
  • msaleem, on 12/21/2008, -2/+7In 9th great, after the sexual health and education module in science class we had a question answer session. A moron from the class asks the teacher: Mr. Gibbons, what do you call people that do it with trees? Teacher just took three steps back, held his hands in front of him and said "... uhhmm, whatever turns you on dude..."
  • hebejebelus, on 12/21/2008, -2/+7Were they trees in another sense, too?
  • breakingrocks, on 12/21/2008, -0/+5I am stumped by that remark too, no pun intended.

    Can't we have healthy sex lives as well as spruce trees?
  • aforsberg, on 12/21/2008, -1/+6IT'S GOT WHAT PLANTS CRAVE
  • inactive, on 12/21/2008, -1/+5I never found it helped sex.. I just enjoy being high.
  • inactive, on 12/21/2008, -0/+3Ohh Yeah....

    Maple eyes of the Japonica..
  • theImmodiumGuy, on 12/21/2008, -0/+3In the case of sexual performance, arginine is the substrate for nitric oxide synthase, which produces nitric oxide, which is a potent vasodilator. This means the action of NOS opens the blood vessels to your johnson, so more blood gets in. More arginine = more nitric oxide = better wood all round. At least, I think that's how it goes.
  • facespaz, on 12/21/2008, -4/+7I think this stems from inner anger. No need to shrub at your old bf's, even if they wore bad swimming trunks...
  • kd1s, on 12/21/2008, -0/+2Give new meaning to "wood" doesn't it.
  • Taiyoryu, on 12/21/2008, -0/+2Deflowers by arginine?
  • wexer, on 12/21/2008, -0/+2Shut up, tree picker.
  • Auran98, on 12/21/2008, -1/+3electrolytes?
  • Ramble, on 12/21/2008, -1/+3Why don't you make like a tree and get out of here?
  • mrogi, on 12/21/2008, -2/+4Why do medical scientists refer to low sperm count as if it is a bad thing? Low sperm count is a blessing for men. No guy is his right mind wants a few moments pleasure with a broad to become 18 years of child support.
  • najdorf, on 12/21/2008, -0/+2Wut?
  • askantik, on 12/21/2008, -0/+2Wondering the same thing...
  • inactive, on 12/21/2008, -1/+2A feline is good, also.
  • Rivetgeek, on 12/23/2008, -0/+1Possibly the worst piece of vomitous tripe to ever get forcibly spewing from the infected bowels of SNL.
  • EskNerd, on 12/21/2008, -1/+2Interestingly, Viagra has also been found to have an anti-wilting effect on plants. Contrary to all the spam in my inbox, is the best way to a bigger penis.. sunlight?
  • aklu, on 12/21/2008, -1/+2So you're saying it's an enzyme that's engineered to strengthen wood?
  • inactive, on 12/21/2008, -0/+1whoa!!! i always knew trees and guys have something in common
  • zeitfox, on 12/22/2008, -0/+1If enzymes are proteins, and amino acids are proteins, couldn't an enzyme also be an amino acid?

    wood
  • inactive, on 12/21/2008, -0/+1It's a movie called Superstar and the girl would make out with trees and just randomly stick her fingers in her armpits and smell them
  • CJDarkhaven, on 12/21/2008, -1/+2Damn...so, no more persecution of the dendrophiles? Bummer :(
  • wexer, on 12/21/2008, -1/+2I confirm.
  • TheAdrian, on 12/21/2008, -1/+2Damn you!

    *shakes fist*
  • Scorps111, on 12/21/2008, -1/+2what if you're a dumb nice guy?

  • Cheesepuffly, on 12/21/2008, -0/+1So... we should have sex with trees?
