Finally, a smart bra that only enhances breasts if she likes the guy


Women have always had a conundrum about their breasts. Sure, they want to be more appealling, and breasts are a sure-fire way to do that, but most often the guys who notice are creepy weirdos whereas all the good ones are taken. But sometimes they aren’t taken, and nicer breasts would help. That doesn’t do a thing about the creepy weirdo problem, though.

The Slovenia-based Lisca company has a solution:

Stem Cells Get Practical - Liposuction And Breast Enhancement All At Once


There was once a controversy about human embryonic stem cell research - former president Bush put in place limited forms of research in 2001, to the outcry of science advocates who vilified his close-mindedness and then president Obama put in place limited forms of research on Friday and science advocates cheered the progressive thinking in his deft handling of the NIH policy.  Yeah, you are probably confused in that ‘why it was wrong for Bush to limit research in 2001 and why it is right for Obama to do it today’ thinking of people who basically just frame their science positions through their politics.

It turns out we could have solved the whole culture war mess (though would we even have science blogging without Bush?  100 years from now, historians will look back and conclude that science owes Bush a lot) by just making stem cells practical - none of this ‘maybe if we throw a lot of money at it we will cure something’ stuff but something truly beneficial for men and women, Republican and Democrat.  Namely, by using their value in breast implants and liposuction.   ALL AT ONCE.

Facts And Fantasy About Saint Patrick’s Day


If you’re a student of culture, a number of things have likely piqued your curiosity; like why so many modern people get drunk about ancient religous stuff.   Take Mardi Gras, for example - go to any Mardi Gras celebration and 98% of people there will be Protestants, so they haven’t fasted for Lent in over 400 years, and 85% won’t know why they are getting drunk at all, but they still act like they are getting ready to starve for 40 days - if by starving we mean not having yards of beer for 11 straight hours.  

It’s a real mystery but at least it gets people thinking about religion and its relationship to Brazilian strippers.

A few weeks later, give or take, we have St. Patrick’s day, a celebration of a guy who wanted to drive out pagan head dresses, hot wiccan chicks and drunken bacchanalia; really, everything that was great about the Celts.  Who in their right mind wants to celebrate that?

The Science Endorsement: Katie Stam, Miss America


At the University of Indianapolis, communications major Katie Stam is supposedly known for her scholarship, leadership and volunteer work - and not her great legs, despite the fact that this is the one thing virtually everyone else on planet Earth knows about her.

Why are the students and administrators at U of I so jaw-droppingly dumb? Science has no explanation for that.

She’s an aspiring journalist, which may explain their blindness. When most people see journalists, they only see sanctimonious left-wing shills who talk about the thrill that runs up their leg when they dream of Barack Obama and issue pithy platitudes like, “I’d like to say it one more time: ‘Mr. President.’”
