Blinking

A wise pro blogger has advised me not to just use random facts but to research, clarify and confirm the origins of my subject matter. Good advice I thought, I already look stupid enough! So when I heard today that women blink twice as much as men I thought why not investigate.

Whilst scouring the internet I came across a number of forums for and against the blinking debate. Having not found a definitive answer I came across a site which seemed to offer an explanation with a twist.

‘Blinking is a reflex that is started by a sudden noise. Studies show that women react more quickly than men to these sudden noises, and blink both twice as hard and often as men. Another interesting piece of data; lesbians will blink less severely than heterosexual women, and gay men will blink more severely than heterosexual men. Because blinking is a reflex and isn't learned, some argue that the rate of your blinking can determine whether you will grow up to be homo or heterosexual.’

Hmmmm Gays blink more, who would have funked it!
