Today’s “duh” science tidbit comes out of Canada: researchers at the University of Montreal have confirmed that all men watch porn. Shocked, amazed and surprised? Yeah, me neither.

The shocking discovery came (no pun intended, perverts) when scientists set out to conduct a study comparing the views of 20-something men who had never viewed pornography to regular nekkid video fiends. The first step of finding men with virgin eyes proved impossible as the research team could not find one man who had never been exposed (again, no pun meant) to porn.

The researchers were forced to switch the purpose of the study and instead focused on porn consumption habits. Interviews with study participants revealed that 90 percent of porn consumption is from the internet and single men tune in for a little taped action an average of 40 minutes, three times a week.

Oh, and before you go raiding your hubby’s hard drive (the jokes just keep coming), take note that the team found that pornography doesn’t change a man’s perception of women or relationships and has no effect on male sexuality.

The creepiness factor of animatronics ranks right up there with mall Santa Clauses and that bearded feller in a prom dress hawking candy to kids on the corner. Artist Nathaniel Mellor created three singing android heads as part of an art installation at Art Basel Miami Beach 2009. Fair warning: Don’t watch this video immediately before calling it a night as the singing noggins will likely cause nightmares and possibly a bed wetting or two.
