Subject: unicyclists get more girls
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/7153584.stm from teh article: "He suggested men might respond aggressively because they see the other unicycling man as a threat, attracting female attention away from themselves.
"This would be particularly challenging for young males entering the breeding market and thus it does not surprise me that their responses were the more threatening."

I always assumed it was just my good looks - now it seems they were only after my unicycle.

It wasn't your unicycle that did it - Roos is not daft - she recognised a
handsome devil when she saw one!

Happy Christmas, may Santa bring you new specs, etc. ;-)

A colleague bought a unicycle for a present, and it was delivered to work...
