The Ideal B00B
Nice work, if you can get it:
Though it would be easy for cynics to assume otherwise, this was a serious study based on a series of scientific measurements and not on the opinions of Mallucci.
‘We used computer measuring tools to examine the dimensions and proportions of each pair of breasts, identifying four features common to all of them,’ he explains.
The features analysed were the dimensions of the upper and lower pole, medical terms that describe the areas above and below the nipple; plus the angle at which the nipple points and the slope of the upper pole.
‘The study revealed that in all cases the nipple ‘‘meridian’’ – the horizontal line drawn at the level of the nipple – lay at a point where, on average, the proportion of the breast above it represented 45 per cent of overall volume of the breast and below it 55 per cent.
‘In the majority of cases the upper pole was either straight or concave, and the nipple was pointing skywards at an average angle of 20 degrees. In all cases the breasts demonstrated a tight convex lower pole – a neat but voluminous curve.
The science is settled.

This guy needs to turn in his man card:
A man used his cellphone to call from Connors Farm in Danvers at about 7 p.m. Tuesday after he, his wife and two children became lost in the maze, police said.
You’d think his wife would have asked for directions.
Political Advice
…from Captain Kirk:
Don’t compare President Barack Obama to Captain James T. Kirk.
That’s what William Shatner told CNN’s Ali Velshi when asked to respond to suggestions that Obama should act less like “Spock” and more like “Captain Kirk”.
Shatner said the comparisons are “unfair” because “Mr. Obama has the onerous burden of obeying the constitution [and] Captain Kirk was captain of everybody’s fate. He was a dictator”.
Funny, I hadn’t noticed that he was all that concerned about that pesky document, myself.

What I Saw At The Revolution
A report from the front lines:
In truth, those camped out in Zuccotti Park are running a commune more than a protest. They have established a small communitarian village, which is punctuated by a small cabal of the angry, the insane, and the ignorant. Nothing I have seen is representative of a serious movement, and even less is indicative of any substantive thought. John Maynard Keynes is nowhere to be seen; instead, Occupy Wall Street has become an irresistible magnet for performance artists with generic grievances, and those who consider Stéphane Hessell’s absurd pamphlet, Indignez vous!, to be a serious rallying cry. So prevalent are these types, in fact, that a significant portion of those in attendance might as well be wearing t-shirts announcing, I’m Only Here For The Drum Circle And Organic Arugula.
As he says, they’re not the 99%. They’re not even the one percent.
