@@Dog Bites


http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr0530.htm
Fatal Dog Attacks -- United States, 1995-1996 Children and the
elderly are the main victims of fatal dog attacks. 


From 1979-1996, dog attacks claimed 306 lives in the United States.
The main victims of fatal dog attacks were children and the elderly.
In 1994, an estimated 1.8% of the U.S. population was nonfatally
bitten by a dog and 0.3% of the U.S. population sought medical care
for a dog bite. Of the more than 4.7 million bites, 800,000 bites
resulted in medical attention. In 1994, three of every 1000 persons
in the United States sought medical attention for a dog bite. The
current incidence of fatal and nonfatal bites and the large dog
population (i.e., over 53 million dogs) underscores the need for a
more aggressive approach to the prevention of dog bites.  The dog
bite problem is a preventable epidemic. Responsible dog ownership,
public education, animal control, and bite reporting are the key
elements for preventing dog bites. National Dog Prevention Week is
June 9-13, 1997.

@@PENIS SIZE


YES ASIANS ARE SMALLER, AND BLACKS ARE PROBABLY BIGGER, SO WHAT?


There is a stereotype of penis size (and masculinity) varying between
races ranging from small for Asian and huge for black. There isn't
much data on black penis size, and I couldn't find any volunteers,
but every data point out there appears to support this impression.
That doesn't mean that Rushton's odd theory about evolution is right,
or that masculinity can be measured by penis size, but it is an
interesting difference.

"The researchers found that the average penis was 13cm when soft and

                            PENIS SIZE AND RACE


[Image] Unfortunately, as mentioned in the introduction, I have limited my
        analysis to Caucasian and East Asian subjects due to the paucity of
data from Black and Hispanic men. (In a future edition I will present a
tabulation of average length and circumference data according to
nationality.) For the purposes of this discussion "East Asian" will refer
to subjects of Chinese, Japanese, Korean or Vietnamese ancestry. As
illustrated in figure 5, there is a highly significant difference
(p<).0001) between Caucasians and East Asians with respect to erect penis
length (164mm (6.5") vs. 137mm (5.4") respectively). I also found a
significant difference with respect to flaccid length (p<).001), head
length (p<).01) and erect circumference (p<).05). The table below
summarizes East Asian penis dimensions.

According to Chinese sources published in Taiwan the average length
for a Chinese male is between 11(4.4") and 12(4.7") centimeters for

an erect penis.  Most sources seem to agree.  Japanese sources (read
in Chinese) state the average length of an erect Japanese penis is
13.6(5.35").

psychologist. Rushton has argued that Asians are more intelligent than
Caucasians, have larger brains for their body size, smaller penises,
lower sex drive, are less fertile, work harder and are more readily
socialized; and Caucasians have the same relationship to blacks.
