Some of you may think that Jason Vorhees of Friday the Thirteenth fame, was the orginator of the hockey mask. Well, puck breath, that ain’t quite right. You see, it was actually a French Canadian by the name of Jacques Plante, who first donned a goaltenders face mask on November 1, 1959. And this Sunday marks the 50th anniversary since Plante debuted his facial ware – and quite the coincidence, it was exactly one day after Halloween. Read the full story

It’s a fact that All REAL guys love sports cars. Well, here’s some proof that a fast set of wheels can tune up the human engine…

I don’t need to be a plastic surgeon to appreciate a naked woman, and I don’t need to be a mechanic to appreciate the power of my car.

I love my car.  It’s not the newest, and right now it’s not at its shiniest, but at nearly 200,000 miles it’s still fast… really fast.  Brand new and stock, it clocked 0-60 in 6.7 seconds with a top speed of 143 mph.  I’ve not tested it 0-60, but I have taken it up to 110 mph… under controlled conditions of course… and I’m sticking to THAT story… I also like to amuse my mechanic by coming up to the service desk before being called, not because I can see that they are done with my car but because I can HEAR that they are done with my car because I recognize the sound instantaneously.

When price is not a factor, if given a choice between fast-and-shiny and moderate-and-modest, your average guy is going to go for the fast and shiny every time. And now, science agrees.

Researchers at Canada’s John Molson School of Business at Concordia University in Montreal tested testosterone levels in 39 men, first after they drove an old Toyota Camry and then after driving a Porsche 911, and shock of all shocks, every single one of them had a dramatic increase in testosterone while driving the Porsche.  To further prove it was the car and not just perceptions of the car, each driver and each car was tested after driving up and down an empty street and up and down a street filled with women. Studies didn’t say if the women were hot, but the testosterone levels were not affected by whether or not the men were being watched while driving.

You would need a significantly larger and more diverse test group than a mere 39 college-aged men to be considered “truly” scientific, but when a test this size is unanimous, it’s a damned good start towards being considered “fact”. I don’t know if it matters that the school shares its name with a mainstream Canadian beer though… would it be less scientific if it were conducted by an American school named “Bud”?  Hard to say… but whether or not science like this will win Nobel prizes, the results are not even remotely surprising.

Psychology would probably say that this has something to do with looking good and impressing the women-folk, but I think this has more to do with satisfying the latent, primeval hunter in all guys.  Looking good might attract the chicks, but speed and strength brings home the steaks… and I don’t care how much you like sex, but you can live a lot longer without sex than you can without food (no matter how hard that is to believe…)

So, now you can argue that it is good for the both of you for you to own a fast car… it’s Viagra on wheels!  And science backs it up…

Now, if only science could find—and eliminate – the gene that makes women want to buy shoes…

Football and cigars are indeed, a very manly combination. Read the full story

Cheeseheads everywhere are burning their copies of Something About Mary at a rampant pace this evening, all because one Bret Fav – ra has flip flopped more than a flap jack cook at a Waffle House. The immortal number four has turned into the ultimate attention whore and Wisconsin native and PlanetZman contributing writer, Izzy Jaecks has had enough of his insipid blather.

Here in Wisconsin, you can’t go even one day without hearing a Favre update… and today, that update is: He’s signed with the Minnesota Vikings, the “sworn enemy” of the Green Bay Packers, the team that made Favre great in the first place.

The Packers made Favre great?  Well, DUH… Sure he’s statistically one of the best QB’s of ALL TIME, but ya don’t achieve greatness in a vacuum.  And not only was he a GREAT player, the Packers were—and are– a GREAT team.  The Packers are the oldest team in the NFL still under the same name and still in the same city… they’ve been around SINCE 1919!  They are owned by the RESIDENTS of Green Bay… always have been and probably always will be… and gained iconic status by winning the first TWO Super Bowls.  Sure we were lucky to have had Favre as our QB for 16 seasons, but HE was really the lucky one to have been a part of that kind of blue-collar history.

Sure, he retired from Green Bay when he might have had a good season or two left in him, but sixteen years is a sweet run for any professional football player.  Better to retire before your run goes sour and you become a washed-up has been still trying to compete with the young blood.  His departure was touching and tear-filled… aww.   But WAIT!  He’s changed his mind!  “I miss football!” he says.  Well “yay” we Wisconsinites said, until we find out he’s decided that he doesn’t think the Packers have a shot at the Super Bowl… He instead signs with… the New York Jets.

OK fine.  Many in Wisconsin tentatively support his decision and try to not harbor too many feelings of betrayal.  The 2008 season comes and goes, neither the Packers nor the Jets go all the way, and Favre hangs up jersey again, promising, “this time I’m REALLY retired.  Until today…

Rumors have been flying around for months, but today the rumors become true when Brett put on his newest Number Four: the purple and gold of the Minnesota Vikings.  Guess what, Brett.  Wisconsin simply doesn’t like you anymore.  We’re done here.

Have fun and don’t hurt yourself out there, old man…
