So after reading the article I wonder if there is a correlation with humans. I cant prove it and I aint going to go looking but it just seems that way to me.

The Louder the Monkey, the Smaller Its Balls, Study Finds Full story

Howler monkeys are the loudest land animals on Earth, capable of bellowing at volumes of 140 decibels, which is on the level of gunshots or firecrackers. Not surprisingly, male howlers frequently use this power to advertise their sexual fitness, catcalling females with their ear-splitting roars.

But in a beautiful twist of expectations, scientists have now found that the louder the monkey's calls, the smaller the monkey's balls. A team based out of Cambridge University came to this conclusion by comparing the size of dozens of monkeys' testes with the hyoid bones located in their voice boxes, which revealed a negative correlation between decibel levels and testicular endowment. The results are published today in the journal Current Biology.

Yep sounds like my high school gym class.

Yes, and a prime example is the guy that was heckling gov. Christie at the baseball game, backing down and apologizing the other day.

So....who had the idea to throw out the comparison of ball size to loudness and how did that conversation go?

Hmm... one of the loudest, most annoying people I've ever met is one of my coworkers. Her testicles are huge.

So....who had the idea to throw out the comparison of ball size to loudness and how did that conversation go?

"What do you do for a living?"
"I measure the size and weight of monkey testicles."
"Ok. I'm going to go talk to other people now."
