From Reuters, mis-reporting the letter in The Lancet: yahoo.com ----- "However, instead of using the EAS to measure erectile strength, the researchers chose what they considered to be a more "objective method." Erections were judged to be "positive" only "when a downward... strength of 1 kilogram did not buckle the penis." To test for such 'buckling,' they dangled 1 kilogram (approximately a half pound) weights from each erect penis." ----- Well, looks like Reuters editors don't know that 1 kg = 2.2 pounds, they got the conversion backward!
