It looks obvious

It would be interesting to know what these scientists wrote in the grant application. The next research will be about the necessity of breathing.

Bram van den Bergh and Siegfried Dewitte at the University of Leuven in Belgium set 44 student volunteers aged 18 to 28 a financial game to test how they reacted to fair play. The game required the students to split into pairs and before half of the games, one of each pair was shown images of a sexy woman or asked to rate how much they liked a

The results showed that men exposed to what the researchers call "sexual cues" accepted unfair play far more than men who were not. The researchers later ranked the men according to their testosterone levels and found that the more testosterone a man had the worse he fared in the tests, they report in the journal, Proceedings of the Royal Society B.

Finally, a useful engineering device to prevent cellular calls in your area.  Limor Fried , a young MIT graduate provides the details how to build a device to block cellular communication. I’m sure we will hear more about her.It will be intersesting to see what the FCC reaction going to be…

“Device(s) to disrupt the reception of cellular phone system downlink frequencies.  This will prevent a cellular phone user from sending or receiving cellular phone calls within the small jam radius.  Advanced electronic and RF engineering technical skills will be required.”

Finally Academia dealing with real life major problems … but seriously the mistake of this research is the assumption that there is an objective answer to the question of how well a women  rear look in specific clothing.
Many generations of man and crashed relationships thought us to avoid this question diplomatically. There is no right, or objective, answer to this question!!!

"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."

Well argued argument dealing with the intelligence design “theory”. The main mistake of the people demanding the teaching of the intelligence design is that once its present as science it will have to stand scientific critic…

Link: The Other I.D. :

“No self-respecting engineering student would make the kinds of dumb mistakes that are built into us.
All of our pelvises slope forward for convenient knuckle-dragging, like all the other great apes. And the only reason you stand erect is because of this incredible sharp bend at the base of your spine, which is either evolution’s way of modifying something or else it’s just a design that would flunk a first-year engineering student.”
