"Which one? Read on to find ou- NO, MY DONG!"
Oh, fuck that. As if climate change wasn't scary enough, Science Daily, CBS, and Yahoo are reporting that as the temperature increases so will our anguished wails of crotch suffering. So how was this determined? A study released by Environmental Health Perspectives found that hot days tend to be followed by an increase in kidney stone-related doctor visits -- the loose conclusion being that the hotter the planet gets, the more dick rocks we'll be blessed with. Therefore, climate change and kidney stones must be connected ... even though the articles themselves later mention these little bastards are only "caused" by heat because we tend to dehydrate ourselves by not drinking enough water.
