When March Madness hurts – literally

There's no end to what you can learn geeking out on the NCAA tournament these days. And not all of it is stuff you WANT to know, either.

Take this story, for instance: urologists all over the country are reporting that more men are scheduling vasectomies when March Madness rolls around.

In fact, some doctors even say they do twice as much snipping during the tourney as they do any other time of the year.

Apparently the theory is that if men are going to be sitting around for a weekend icing and recovering from the procedure, they might as well do it when they'd be watching college basketball anyway.

For those enterprising souls, this, then, is the good life: a vasectomy, a bag of frozen peas on your, um, lap, a cold beer in one meaty paw and a couple of days off to watch Old Dominion against Notre Dame, or Syracuse against Vermont, or whatever game is on.

 On the other hand, you probably don't want to jump up and down and cheer when your team does well.

 Even if you remember not to drop the frozen peas.
