Study reveals average penis size for men
Doctors searched through 17 published studies studies on more than 15,000 men who had their penis size measured by a health professional and graphed the averages in Tuesday's issue of BJU International, formerly the British Journal of Urology. The graphs will help doctors reassure the large majority of men that their penis size is in the normal range, said study author Dr. David Veale, of King's College London. For men with small penis anxiety, education and counselling may be helpful, Veale and his team said. The researchers say measuring penis size is important in assessing men who complain of a small penis and to investigate the relationship between condom failure and penile dimensions.

Boldly go ahead, doodlers: bank says 'Spocking' Laurier on $5 not illegal
It turns out there's not a lot of logic in the belief that it's against the law to Vulcanize Sir Wilfrid Laurier's likeness on the $5 bill. The death of Leonard Nimoy last week inspired people to post photos on social media of marked-up banknotes that show Canada's seventh prime minister transformed to resemble Spock, Nimoy's famous "Star Trek" character. Contrary to popular belief, it's not illegal to deface or even mutilate banknotes, the Bank of Canada said Monday — although the publication of a banknote's likeness is still prohibited, except under certain conditions. There are good reasons to resist the urge to scribble on bills, said bank spokeswoman Josianne Menard.
