Does anyone else think the Econ has gone downhill in the last couple of years? It's not just the overly-cheeky photo captions, the bad puns, the annoyingly small vocabulary of the new editor (how many times can you use the word "Schadenfreude [1]"?), the "amazing new energy technology!" ads in the back -- but the actual substance, the subjects it reports on, are devolving into factoids and titillation with a side dish of political snark.

Could it be that the women behave differently when they are most fertile? It would make sense that they would try their hardest to get pregnant at that time of the month.

Depending on their circumstances, it could also make sense that they would try hardest not to get pregnant at that time of the month.

I do think it has gone downhill a bit since the new editor came on board. But I still think it's the best single news source out there. However science articles that boil humans down to testoserone and estrogen sacks have been their bread and butter for a while. Personally, I don't mind it.

So, what has this to do with "Hacker news"? Do we imply that hackers are more effective when they are horny? Sorry, but stories like this are better suited for reddit or digg.

We can learn that one should only present to investors when most fertile.
