    That’s intuitively obvious, since they didn’t have cuckolded husbands and jealous jilted women shooting them in the back.
    They were kind of like a house pet, loved by all.

    Well it is that this procedure did not continue into the 20th century. But for that, the TV Show, “The Sopranos” would have been a musical!…….

    It just seemed longer.

    Are you implying that Obama will live longer than the average black man?

    It’s a catch 22 for a ruler. If you castrate too many of your citizens, you either piss them off, or cause problems with the gene pool. The easiest solution is to keep what eunuchs you have alive for as long as you can. So, it has nothing to do with genetics. The researches are wasting precious grant money, which can be used to corroborate some useless fact.

    So,
    will this be used to rationalize some official policy?
    Perhaps to make men more housebroken behind the excuse of raising average longevity in a population.
    (What? Hmm, yesss. The mere threat would work, too.)

    Gives new meaning to the term “being vetted for a job.”

    Does this count the Metro Beta Bistro Boyz?

    I think “David” is in a museum now – the piazza was the original location.

    I heard that the Chinese chemically semi-neuter their teeming male population by feeding them estrogen laden soy-based diets. Soy is off limits to the political elites. Well, that’s what someone told me, anyhow.

    … and now, thanks to that image, all I can think of is …

    SQUIRRELL !!!!

    Personally, I’d opt for quality of life over longevity, but that’s just me. Any guys who prefer a longer life can attend my smiling corpse at my funeral.

    PeggyU 10: did your source also disclose anything about Mitt’s tax returns?

    PeggyU 11: Yikes!!!

    DougM 6: I’m assuming the procedure is or will be mandated as free in all health insurance plans by Obamacare and/or HHS?

    (Can hardly wait for Catholic institutions to discover that they are required to pay for castration — the rational could be that it will mean they have to pay for fewer vasectomies. That should go over well.)

    But wait! Won’t that be a further drain on Social Security, Medicare, etc.? How can this be reconciled with upcoming death panels? Or do they plan to castrate all seniors who are liberals and kill all seniors who are conservatives?

    Lived longer? If you can call it living at all…

    mojo – you are correct. The original is in a museum not far from the original site and the one now in the piazza is a replica.

    Wanted to make sure you knew we got both jokes.

    Yep, saw it about thirty years ago. Man, that David feller had big …
    hands.

    Bet those eunuchs didn’t have to go to war, or support a family, or worry about a nagging wife…..

    So yea, bet they did live longer. Women tend to live longer to.

    Just think, we could have an adult version of the Vienna Boys Choir.

    Well, they certainly sang better – at least, in the high register. Unfortunately, there were some issues with physical development.

    ^ Was large jug-ears one of the symptoms?

    I’ve been meaning to point out the obvious fact that the statue in the pic is not castrated, it is… well…. de-dicked.

    On the foreign policy front however, I’m not sure whether it makes a difference in meaning to describe Captain Zero’s foreign policy as “dick-less” or “ball-less;” and in any case it is both.*

    * I wonder if perhaps we could have a weekly apology conference (to replace the missing press conference) at the White House, where he could come out and apologize on behalf of America to any new converts to Islam from the prior week.
