Oh scientists. So interested in penis size these days. According to a Finnish study, penis size might actually be related to the relative wealth of a country. Although I am not sure what weed-enhanced dream brought on a study of this nature, in the end there actually appeared to be a slight correlation between wealth and penis size.

According to Gawker,

From 1960-1985, nations with smaller penises grew at a faster rate than their well-hung counterparts, the University of Helsinki’s Tatu Westling found. Overall GDP was highest in nations with average penises and lowest in nations with outlier penises. The size of male organ is found to have an inverse U-shaped relationship with the level of GDP in 1985.

So what does this mean? Perhaps a country’s wealth has less to do with the type of government and more to do with how well-endowed their men are! Maybe all of our dudes with huge shlongs are totally destroying America’s potential as a reigning super power! Perhaps the stigma that Chinese men are tiny is totally false because damn, look at China’s success in the recent years! Maybe women should start seeking out guys with small index to middle finger ratios because they are more likely to create a successful nation state for their future children!

Or maybe this is a ridiculous study made my University of Helinksi undergrads so that they could make a chart that looks like a flaccid penis! WHO KNOWS.
