'Average-Sized' Penises Make for Good Economies

This ought to arouse some interest in economics: A Finnish study finds a correlation between a country's average penis size and economic growth.

A Finnish researcher has just published a study that claims a country's average penis size correlates to its economic growth, concluding that “average-sized” members make for the best economies. Tatu Westling, of the University of Helsinki, says “smaller” countries tend to perform better (economically) than their larger counterparts, as he noted a five- to seven-per-cent reduction in economic growth for every centimetre added. Whatever helps 'em sleep at night, we guess. Overall, the strongest economies were found in the middle, while extremes on either side of the size spectrum tended to be weaker economies, even though we've always been told it's more how you use it than the size that matters. Westling cautions against finding a causality between data, but notes that it's a pretty bang-on correlation.
