I love the title. My last post and then I have to actually work today.
Size does matter when it comes to sperm
Overweight men have poorer quality semen, study finds. (Insert your favorite Less joke here - I wonder if it affects the taste? Anyone blow a Big Guy?)

Women don’t get off the hook. Though it’s long been known that very overweight women have trouble conceiving naturally, a large new study confirms they also are less likely to become pregnant even when embryos are fertilized in lab dishes and placed in their wombs.
“Among the severely obese, we saw significantly reduced implantation and pregnancy rates,” said Dr. David Ryley of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston. He presented results of the women’s study this week at a meeting of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine.
