Default Does Male Organ Size Impact The Economy?

Could the answer to our economic problems be in every man's pants?

One researcher, Tatu Westling from the University of Helsinki, took a long, hard look at this issue.

In his research paper comparing average penile length (erect) and GDP growth, Westling introduces the "male organ hypothesis", which states that "penises carry economic significance".

In the abstract he writes, "The size of the male organ is found to have an inverse U-shaped relationship with the level of GDP in 1985. It can alone explain over 15% of the variation in GDP. The GDP maximizing size is around 13.5 centimetres [5.31 inches], and a collapse in economic development is identified as the size of male organ exceeds 16 centimetres [6.30 inches]."

Eh. I doubt these findings will stand up in the long run.

I wonder if the researcher made a visit to Iceland? http://www.smh.com.au/travel/members...726-1hy2s.html
