LOL! Unnatural selection?
"Heated car seats may keep drivers warm on cold mornings - but they
could also lower a man's sperm count, scientists claim.
A study found the electric-generated heat emitted by some driver's
seats raises body temperature to a point that interferes with the
production of healthy sperm.
It follows evidence from previous studies that men who sit in a car
for more than three hours a day, or who work as long-distance lorry
drivers or long-haul pilots, could be putting their fertility at
risk..."

there was a similar one years ago suggesting that riding a bike could
impair a mans ability to reproduce.
There was also one suggesting Y fronts could have the same effect.

And yet another suggesting that the vibrations you get in a bus thanks to the
more primitive design would do the same. If we want the human race to survive
(With people like Bush and Bollen it's a big if) we need to act now and ban
bikes, buses, cars and clothes.

Ummm, correct me if I'm wrong here, but I thought that the biggest
problem the human race faced was more or less the exact OPPOSITE of
insufficient fertility and massively declining numbers...?

Fertility is dropping quite substantially, don't confuse fertility with over
population.

It's difficult for the infertile to contribute to over-population...
