Study: Women Prefer Men in Hot Cars

   A study recently published in the British Journal of Psychology shows women really are more attracted to men who drive 'hot' cars.

The study put the same attractive man in the driver's seat of a Bentley Continental and a battered Ford Fiesta and 100% of the women between the ages of 21 and 40 said they prefer the man who was driving the Bentley - Unaware that it was the same man.

Dr. Michael Dunn, of the University of Wales Institute in Cardiff said it shows women rate a man higher if he is behind the wheels of a "fancy motor rather than in an old banger."

Dr. Dunn also said his findings concluded that men could care less what women are driving, and are only interested in the appearance of the girl not the car.

A Disk Jockey on the radio this morning made the comment, "This proves that women truly aren't attracted to a masculine man who can express emotion, but rather the guy who wears a leather jacket and drives a hot car."  Guess what I drove and wore to work today??

The Sun Goes Eagle Watching

Last week Sun photographer Nathan Merkel and I (Drew Weidman) took a kayak trip down the Swatara Creek with the hopes of capturing a photograph of a Bald Eagle.

There has been numerous sightings along the creek in Sun Country and we were determined to make a serious attempt to get a photograph.  We didn't have any luck, but did see many interesting sights along our trip.

Among those were a King Fisher, a Great Blue Heron and a flock of floating ducks that followed our kayak for a couple hundred yards.  (see video below).

One of the most surprising things about our voyage was the depth of the creek, which at times was no deeper than one foot in the midlle.  For those thrill seekers looking for rapids, you're just as well off kayaking in your backyard pool, because there are none.  But we still had fun.

If you do happen to spot the Eagle, I urge you to do one of two things:  Call The Sun at 566-3251, and we'll be there faster then the Eagle can do two shakes of his tail feathers.  Or take a photograph and email news@thesunontheweb.com and we'll run it in our next week's issue!
