I just couldn't stop laughing about this when I heard it on the news on Friday. Cruel of me, I know. I'm not usually that heartless, honest!

Found this in a linked story:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/3534558.stm - Viagra Protects Climbers' Lungs

"A lack of oxygen can trigger the heart and lung condition pulmonary hypertension.

But University of Giessen, Germany, researchers found Viagra prevents this. "

What exactly were they trying to find out???? smiley - huh

I would have thought that becoming suddenly potent halfway up a mountain was a bit of a hindrance.

Mother of God, Empress of the Universe

The subject of Viagra-related blindness came up at a dinner party the other night, and the *first* thing I wondered about was whether there's some kinda corelation between Viagra-blindness and that ol' myth of masturbation-blindness. Maybe it's extremely rare, but myths often have some kinda basis in fact. Does anyone know?

my theory is that this type of blindness is short sightedness related to the man looking at it in wonder(viagra) or while concentrating(masturbation)
