Nice Work if You Can Get It...
or Hot Smurf Ass?

LONDON (AFP) - It is one of the most fundamental -- and, for men, potentially hazardous -- questions of modern life, for which academics now hope to provide the definitive answer: "Does my bum look big in this?"

The School of Textiles and Design at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh have begun what is believed to be the world's first-ever study on how women's clothing affects the bottom.

Models with variously sized posteriors will wear different types of clothing as part of the research, which will examine how designs, colours, patterns and fabric types affect perception.

Others will be asked to assess how big or small each model's backside appears to look in the outfits.

"This study will provide for the first time detailed and usable information that would enable designers to make the clothes that help women make the most of their natural assets," said Dr Lisa Macintyre, who is leading the study.

Yep, I've never understood why that's such a loaded question when the proper answer is so simple. Just politeness and tactfulness, that's all! If your man asked you if he's sexy, you wouldn't say, "umm, no" how rude!

I think I'd like to join the evaluation team. You know, to help fulfill my love for science.

This in the name of Science? Any buffoon could tell you that its a matter of perception, not measurement.

That said, I'd like to join the eval team with Mr. Schprock!
