Foul
language leads to impotence: New study suggests
2004-10-18
A resident of the Russian town of Yekaterinburg has come up with a rather
unusual discovery.
According to the research manager of the Center of ecological safety and
survival Gennady Cheurin, he has examined the essence of the foul language he
managed to prove its pernicious impact on human organism scientifically.
According to the recent statement made by Mr. Cheurin himself, foul language in
fact contains sacred words. In the ancient times, these words had been used by
Russian men in times of special rituals to "call for their virile
essence". "Men were allowed to use these words only 16 days a year.
Afterwards, it was strictly prohibited to use them," explained Gennay
Cheurin to journalists. ?So whenever men use these sacred words for no reason in
their daily life, this immediately leads to sexual dysfunctions, i.e. impotence.
If a woman uses these words in her daily speech, she slowly begins transforming
into a man."
According to the author of this rather interesting hypothesis, his words have
been recently confirmed by a research study conducted by a group of Russian
scientists. The scientific team have been investigating the way swearing affects
water, which according to Cheurin, possesses "memory". The scientists
had first expressed their anger in a string of oaths (directed at a water jar).
It was later used to water wheat seeds. ?As a result, only 48% of those seeds
that have been watered with ?aggressive obscenities¦ sprouted. Among those
seeds that have been watered with "mild foul language" only 53%
sprouted. Among those seeds that have been watered with holy water, 93%
sprouted. It is hard to imagine what human body must go through each time we
swear," noted the scientist.
Gennady Cheurin has also revealed the name of the person who, according to Mr.
Cheurin is responsible for such widespread of the sacred words. "The
well-known writer Afanasiev has used these words in his 'Sacred Fairytales.' He
shouldn't have done it, says Cheurin.
Cheurin also says that foul language works very well at war. ?Foul language can
be helpful in extreme situations. Similar to the last bullet, it has to be kept
for extreme circumstances; for military operations for instance. Besides,
swearing enables much faster information exchange during warfare," states
head of the Center. He is also inclined to believe that swearing in no other
language (aside from Russian) is capable of doing so much harm to one's body.
