Hi.
Just got back from Utah. More on that later, but right now I just want to say that my blog and email have been ill for the last 24 hours, but I’m moving to a bigger server so it should be fixed. Also, I am severely jet-lagged so I have nothing funny to say. Except that I just looked up “jet lag” on Wikipedia and it said that scientists have helped hamsters recover from jet-lag by giving them viagra. Which means that at one point there were a bunch of people flying hamsters with tiny erections to exotic locations in the name of science. Which I think is just proof that scientists are high all the time.
Also, I’m pretty sure cancer still exists, right? Meanwhile, people are bringing drugged, involuntarily-aroused hamsters on planes, and I’m not even allowed to bring my diet coke through security. This is exactly the kind of thing I’d take a stand against if it wasn’t for the fact that I don’t even know what the hell I’d write on that picket sign.
PS. The study also notes that the hamster study “is considered an off-label use by the drug’s manufacturer“. Which seems like a lost opportunity, because who doesn’t want to use erection meds to cure your hamsters of jet-lag? Apparently the people who make viagra don’t. Because they hate your hamster.
PPS. I can afford the upgrade so no worries, but if you want to help me pay for the bigger server you can buy something at my horrifically inappropriate store. Or you could send me a briefcase of unmarked bills. Or get me a grant for hamster-erection studies. Apparently there’s a lot of money in that.

Incredible. When I take Viagra after a long flight Bangkok, I usually chase it with an Ambien. Then I wake up in a hamster brothel surrounded by hay and having bits of carrot stuck in my g-string, egging me on to “take it off”.
This explains a lot. Thank you for this public service.

Does this mean if I fly I could possibly get an RX for viagra? I mean, if it’s good enough for hampsters… Eh?
So many inappropriate Richard Gere jokes… brain melting…
Best excuse ever for getting stiffy pills BTW, “but I need them so I don’t have jet-lag”. “I swear my treats work just fine.. It is only for flying guys”….
“even when low doses of the drug, which did not cause penile erections, were used. ”
How exactly do check for penile erections in hamsters?
humm, I always used exercise to cure jet lag (yeah, I’m a freak, whatever) but good to know there is another very viable alternative. Guessing that these hamsters are not such child friendly pets when they retire, or maybe that’s why the little buggers never last too long – years of flying and viagra puts a terrible strain on the system. Someone must launch an investigation into this hamster recycling program you have un-earthed.

As it happens I am close personal friends with the author of the Hamster Erection and Jet Lag study as it is so titled. If you want I can get you in on the next one. Its about Platypuses and Ambien and Lock Jaw
“PPS. I can afford the upgrade so no worries,”
And this is where I really thought you were talking about upgrading your hamster’s Viagra. Not sure that even makes sense. And yet…

The benefits of pure research are not always immediately apparent. Sometimes it takes decades for research to translate into practical applications. Sure, treating jetlagged hamsters seems a bit abstract and wasteful but it might someday lead to a cure for gerbil insomnia. Or something.

Do you suppose you’ve ever been on a flight with artificially aroused hamsters? Shouldn’t you have been given some sort of pamphlet or waiver to sign if that were the case? Do they fly in the main passenger compartment or do they stuff them down in the luggage bay? I think it’d be difficult to maintain an erection if you were being buffeted by luggage. Maybe that’s a hamster kink most of us aren’t aware of… so many, many questions.
Jesus Christ. I’m stone cold sober right now and the logic behind the hamster-erection thing completely baffles me. I mean, how do you figure out how much Viagra to even give a hamster? Like, is there a threshold after which the poor little critter needs to seek immediate medical attention after having an erection for four hours or something?
And that, dear friends, is probably the most fucked up thing I’ve ever typed.

I think I have the answer.
Q: “How did the hamsters even *get* jet lag?”
A: You know how some of the Hollywood plastic chicks carry little dogs in their handbags? Maybe their plastic boy counterparts have hamsters in their man-purse instead of little dogs?… and with all the jet-setting they do, maybe it was discovered that the plastic boys hamsters got jet-lag…. and maybe one of the plastic boys decided to share one of his viagra pills he stole from his plastic dad to his hamster just for the hell of it, and realised his hamster didn’t get jet-lag…. and there the study was born…. just a thought. It definitely would explain it.

In response to some personal reports that Viagra helps reduce jet lag, apparently among geriatric frequent fliers, they took some hamsters and put them in a closed room with controlled lighting. They would suddenly change the schedule of the lighting by some hours, and then record how long it took the hamsters to switch their sleep schedules to the new lighting schedule. The hamsters on Viagra took significantly less time to synchronize with the new lighting schedule.
Which is weird. And cool. But weird.
They’re making a movie starring Jake Gyllenhaal about these hamsters, it’s called “Love and other Rodents”.

I love that even when you are semi-conscious you can find the brainspace to write about hamsters with erections. In fact do you ever write when you’re awake? Maybe I’d be funnier if I started sleep-typing? Or did you try the viagra (in the name of science of course) and not tell anyone?

I love your blog! But the diet coke thing has me sad. There should be a law that people who NEED diet coke just to think should have it, at all times.
I will come up with some good signs for that. I would also picket with you, other than the whole holding a sign, and saying silly stuff over and over, oh and the weather thing too. I don’t like weather.
One time, at a dinner party once, I engaged in a drunken conversation with a guy about how awesome it would be if we buried teeny-tiny petrol-powered planes that were seemingly piloted by hamsters (dressed in leather bomber jackets and goggles), so that in a 1000 years or so, someone would dig them up and be all WTF? Circa the year 2000, hamsters were evolved enough to fly petrol-powered planes??? WTF?
After a bottle of wine or two, it seemed such a great idea, the day after, I wasn’t so sure. But NOW, now, I am back in the game, and think this is the awesome-ist idea ever, especially if those teeny-tiny hamster skeletons also had teeny-tiny erections. The person digging them up in a 1000 years or so, would TOTALLY be all WTF? about this discovery.
I think I should stop now.
The end.

hamsters are nocturnal, so they sleep when it’s light *generally*. i don’t know how a hamster would be affected by a change in time zones because they just sleep when they’re tired. seriously, i used to breed dwarf hamsters and they sleep most of the day, spend a couple of hours running in the damn wheel at night, and eat/sleep the rest of the night. and occasionally eat one of their babies. so, if a hamster were to travel from, say, new york to california, with one of us, WE would be jet-lagged, but the hamster would be all like ‘oh, extra time to sleep? i’ll run in the wheel later’. and then on the trip back, WE would be jet-lagged, and the hamster would think ‘ergh, i guess it’s time to pretend to run and hunt for my food in that squeaky wheel. i’ll run for an extra few hours tonight because i feel like it’s dark a bit early’.
the practical upshot of this is that i am no scientist, but i am quite sure that hamsters do not experience jet-lag. they do get teeny hamster erections, to have sex. i can’t imagine measuring it though. it like sucks back into their body when they’re not erect.
male hamsters do get HUGE testes though. especially syrian hamsters. their balls drag around behind them and i hate it.

So I just have to say, simply because the hamster’s erection looks tiny to YOU doesn’t means it’s a tiny HAMSTER erection. My hamster assures me that his erection is actually rather intimidating to female hamsters, and also that it’s a perfectly normal response to licking peanut butter off my finger. Though now he has some kind of hamster penus complex, and I just spent time letting him know that his comically tiny erection is nothing to be ashamed of, also I’m out of peanut butter, so thanks.

Wait… if scientists are now doing their tests on hamsters, what happened to all the mice? Or is it that mice are untouched by jet lag? If so, who did that test? And whoever it was, how could they tell if they were jet lagged or not? Maybe they were simply lazy hamsters. Or perhaps they were Italian and are quite partial to a nice fiesta… Do hamsters stay awake for as long as humans?
Damn, I was against animal testing until all these questions popped into my brain, now all I want to do is poke at some small mammals.
Not to state the wildly obvious or anything, but they will have just changed when the lights come on and off in the hamster room to simulate jet lag.
And while everyone wants a cure for cancer, but there is no reason to use this to criticize the activities of researcher seeking a cure of jet lag any more than someone who spends there time, say, working on a cure for insomnia or even writing/reading blogs…

The Involuntarily-Aroused Hamsters would be a kickass band name.
Also, I just want you to know that over the last few weeks I have studiously read all 134 pages of your blog while at my internship. This is because I have very little understanding of what I’m supposed to be doing, as my supervisor speaks very heavily-accented English and I don’t want to offend her by saying “Sorry, what?” a million times per sentence. So after three weeks of excruciatingly small levels of actual work, I can say that I still know nil about technical writing, but now I’m quite enlightened about zombie apocalypses, which will probably be a lot more useful anyway. So thank you.
Um, I had a point, but I forgot it, so here’s a picture of a hamster on a swing. I wish I could photoshop in an erection, but I’m still at “work” and I think they’re against animal testing here: http://cuteoverload.com/2011/06/24/hi-ya-a-little-help-here/
i want to know what other drugs they tried on the hamsters before they got to the viagra.
Now, see, this is the kind of info you should have had BEFORE going to Utah. Judging by the comments, it’s a great convention topic.
YES! now all i need is some viagra, and my jet-lag from my imaginary flight to europe is CURED!
seriously, what’s wrong with a day or two to just nap, and fix it the normal way?
instead, we have boner pills. BONER PILLS! now that’s an invention that just shouldn’t exist. NO ONE needs a 4 hour boner. their wives, girlfriends, or boyfriends are probably traumatized and crying in their bathrooms after a few hours of that crazy.
But cancer is HARD, man. Curing horny hamsters of jet-lag is a little easier, you know? Plus there’s that HPV vaccine now so technically we’ve prevented ONE kind of cancer…
Dammit, this was going to be a funny comment. But I know too much about new cancer technologies
Cancer starts with a few demented cells (I think), so it’s probably not going to ever be cured.
But you’re more likely to survive it now with all the booby-feeling, doctor-visiting, treatments that make you less sick than chemo… we’re totally not lazy or playing with bunsen burners or making crystal meth or anything…
For someone who has nothing funny to say, you’re pretty hilarious. I’m so glad I found your blog.
I hope at least that they didn’t bring that hamster alone on the flight with no way to…er….take care of his little problem. I have to say, though, that my MOM was proscribed viagra, although it escapes me why…
When I was a child I had a per hamster that I walked on a homemade leash. I made the leash out of a leather circle that had a smaller circle cut into the center for the hamster’s head. There was a string attached that I could hold on to while “walking” my hamster. Often times he would run under the couch, where I obviously couldn’t follow (duh), which would inevitable lead to him almost choking himself out halfway under the sofa. Maybe he scored some viagra from a scientist friend and developed an erotic asphyxia fetish? It could happen.
I had something witty to say, but then it ran off, much like a hamster with an erection and no jet lag would.
Oh yes. How did they know the hamsters had jet lag to begin with? Pretty sure I’ve never seen hamsterian written down – it’s a complex tongue – so the hamsters didn’t fill out surveys…
When I was an undergrad, I was in a grad class in Paleoecology (which I had no business taking) and one of my fellow students did a presentation on a study on how Sea Turtles find their way to nesting sites. Basically they captured them at the nesting ground before they laid their eggs, tagged them with GPS chips, and then took them way out in the ocean where I assume they put blind folds on them and spun them around to disorient them. They then let the poor dizzy pregnant turtles back into the ocean so they could follow their movements. Not surprisingly the made it back to the nesting ground. I would guess they were also pretty pissed. I actually raised my hand and said “So a grant funded some scientists to confuse the hell out of pregnant turtles.” That didn’t go over well but I couldn’t stop laughing.

My hubby travels regularly, and I’m starting to think that maybe he had something to do with this study.

Now, what should we do for the next 4 hours or so, hmmmm?”

This is awesome news! Now I can chicks who find my pills in the medicine cabinet that they’re for jet lag! (Chicks dig dudes who travel.) But how can I explain my penis enlarger?
Interesting. I wonder if the hamsters aren’t an issue because they can’t collectively ejaculate over the 3oz. maximum.
Did I just type that? Of, fuck it. SUBMIT!
If they hate your hamsters, I can only imagine how they would feel about my meth-lab running guinea pigs. Granted, the 8 of them haven’t tried to fly since the tragic hang gliding incident of ’04, but still…
The mind reels.
Now that we’ve met in person I feel bad being a lurker here, so here’s my official first comment.
Thanks for coming to evo! I loved your ignite talk. You could tell everyone was like, Zombies, really? And then they started being zombies and found the little kid in their hearts (that’s figurative, not like a little doll pumping your heart). Also, it’s good that you didn’t bring hamster viagra to evo because one thing Mormons don’t need is help having more kids. The next time you come, I’ll totally hook you up with my private stock of libations.
“flying hamsters with tiny erections” seems to be the phrase that makes me snort giggle a swallow of soft drink before spewing said fluid all over my carpet. Thanks a lot.
I find it interesting that it’s just the hamsters who are getting free off-label erections.
Are scientists racist against cats? Because I think cats would enjoy more sleep + erections.
Dogs are on their own, though, because dogs ALWAYS have erections.
It’s amazing how even your not funny posts make me laugh out loud. I think you need to add a warning to tell people not to drink coke while they read your blog because they might spew coke all over their keyboard.
I think you’re dramatically underestimating how much people can get away with in the name of science. If you could think of a way to connect putting roadkill on sticks and making it dance outside of peoples windows with curing huntington’s disease, the federal government would probably give you thousands of dollars to pay for tiny costumes and a camera. If you just get a little creative, people will throw money at you, except you’ll also expected to produce some viable result that is sort-of related to huntington’s. So there’s that.
Did you know that Viagra is also sometimes used as a fertility treatment…for WOMEN? It’s good for increasing blood flow to the uterus. What’s good for the penis is good for the uterus (except maybe particular kinds of kinky sex toys.)

You could start up a non-profit for the effort and rake in a ton of non-taxable money, hire a bunch of college students to run the copy machine and make donation calls, get little old ladies to knit and quilt useless stuff to sell at charity bazaars for the ’cause.’ It’s a joke, of course….or maybe not……
I knew I should have gone to school for “science” instead of “liberal arts.” What was I thinking?
You inspired me to Photoshop. Again. When I should be knitting a 4-foot fucking robot.
Damn you.
Check your email.
@Kella…Screw knitting a 4-foot robot. Knit a 4-foot hamster on viagra!!!!!
Talk about snakes on a plane if they actually start prescribing this for jet-lag. It does pose some interesting questions, though. How much would this increase the number of cases of “jet-lag,” especially among men? Would women want to be trapped on a plane with a bunch of horny (more so than normal) men? Would these men be required to sit in a separate and perhaps secured section of the plane? Would women interested in a hook-up be allowed into that section of the plane? How much would this increase membership in the mile high club? More study is needed.
Jenny, you are my hero! You bring much needed laughter into my life.
Who would even think to give hamsters than medicine?!
Hi, You’ve posted before about having very bad arthritis, I just read this post that you drink diet coke. Have you ever seen the documentary Sweet Misery? It’s about aspartame and there were some people discussing their debilitating arthritis being connected to the diet sodas they drank for years. Of course it’s a little more involved than that, but you might be very interested health-wise. It’s worth a Google of it anyway.
Wasn’t there flying hamsters with tiny erections in Wizard of Oz? Oh wait, those were monkeys. Yeah, that makes much more sense.
Right in the middle of reading about hamsters with tiny erection being flown to exotic location I looked over and saw my 10 year old sister watching the movie G-Force. I started laughing and my sip of Pepsi fell out of my mouth onto my white shirt. That’s what I get for reading this blog when I was supposed to try do homework. Again.

into a t-shirt, too? I really want to wear that one to work.
Hamsters with jet lag? I don’t even own a passport…(sad, I know) but now I am really depressed to think that rodents get to travel more than I do. I gotta get out of the house more!
I think I’ve been searching for my get rich quick scheme in the wrong place. Hamsters + Viagra = $$!

If I may speak for hamsters, “What makes you think it was tiny ?”
I’ve never actually seen an erection on a hamster but I wouldn’t belittle them because I have seen an erection on a warthog at the zoo. Whoa Nelly bar the door! There has to be a connection between HAMsters and wartHOGS.
Poor little hamsters, scientists inducing jet-lag then treating with viagra, the little guys didn’t know if they were cuming or going. Wait, for hamsters that may be one in the same. A true ‘RedEye’ all nighter. Bet they still slept most of the next day.
This is interesting because according to Southwest Airlines hamsters are not an FAA approved cabin pet. I found this out while waiting to board a plane in Houston because there was a little girl trying to bring her pet hamster on the plane, and they couldn’t let her board with the hamster. She was safely carrying the critter in a cage, which was her downfall. I suspect these scientists smuggled them on board in their coat pockets…or, God forbid, Richard Gear style–a trick they might have picked up from drug smugglers.
Laughed so hard the tears ran down my leg.
