Betty White on why people shouldn't "grow some balls"

[Firmus]

‎"Why do people say 'grow some balls' ? Balls are weak and sensitive. If you wanna be tough, grow a vagina...Those things can take a pounding." ~Betty White

too damn funny, I'll have to borrow that for my facebook status later

Naah - I say GROW A SPINE.

Vaginas are usually too busy doing other things.

[Aphrodite_66]

Agreed EEK

Uhm, and the spine isn't "busy" all day?

Not to mention curved in an illogical way from an engineering point of view (damn humans that wanted to walk upright), extremely fragile and balancing a 5 kg head on an edge!

Let's see; what bodypart to pick from? The strongest muscle in the body in terms of forcing pressure on an object is the one that moves your lower jaw to chew; the masseter. The muscle that executes the most force on a bone relative to it's size is gluteus maximus. That would come down to; Grow a jaw! or Grow a butt!

Have to admit; I like vagina better. And what could perhaps be even closer to indestructable, more stretchable and powerful? I'd say: a uterus

[EvilEvilKitten]

Yep - cramps and bleeds every month! Oh joy!

Actually the strongest muscle is the one that separates your pelvis bones to let the baby out.

Well, the anus is the most intelligent muscle. It can tell the difference between a solid, liquid and a gas.

And doesn't it always seem like assholes always get all the cool stuff?

EEK, doesn't that make it incredibly strong and special? Bleeding for days and you don't die from it, not even injured! Now if that isn't symbol for coping well I don't know what is

Admittedly I did get the info from Dutch wikipedia and a few other websites on the myth of the tongue, which is often wrongfully indicated as the strongest muscle. I haven't found a website that refers to the muscles attached to the pelvic bones as strongest. It could be because the pelvicbones slowly start to separate from about 6 months pregnancy and have gone to back to normal state about 1,5 month after birth. Which is very impressive -no doubt!- but could make the force steady and relatively mild. It could also be they aren't considered strongest because of the relative size compared to the bones they move, the pressure on the bone and/or the leverage they use. I don't know anatomy well enough to really comment on that.

LOL!

[EvilEvilKitten]

No - bleeding and not dying makes it CREEPY. Why else have men for centuries classified women as "unclean"?

As for the strength of the muscles that separate the pelvic bones - I can tell you OMFG! it HURTS or why did you think labor was so painful anyway? MILD?!?! ARE YA NUTS?!?!? The stage of labor at which this occurs is known as Transition and mild - it ain't.
