...crazy thing is, we already have the technology. Only this year a bunch of Hong Kong researchers published a paper in the International Journal of Industrial Ergonomics--a publication that I imagine is on your bedside table right now--that used 3-D anthropometric measuring equipment to take a very close look at 456 young Chinese women's breasts. (I know, can you imagine writing the grant proposal for that?) Their conclusions make for some tough reading. They note that 70% of British women are wearing the wrong size bra, and that among bigger-breasted women the sizing is particularly...
...Diwaniyah. Camp Echo, the headquarters of Multinational Division Central-South, is a virtual Tower of Babel where more than 200 Americans and most of the 900-strong Polish force work and live alongside 100 Mongolians, 62 Romanians, 46 Armenians, 36 Bosnians, 27 Ukrainians, a Lithuanian, a Latvian and a bunch of Ugandan guards.

Gambling "is a lot like a ski slope," says Bo Bernhard, director of gambling research at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. "A bunch of people race down and have a wonderful time, but inevitably, you'll have a proportion that falls. You have to have a hospital at the bottom of the hill...
...great, this is about the only cause that Harvard students are dedicated to,” she smirked. “I just had to go out with my Korean roommate tonight. This is a heaping tablespoon of cultural immersion. What’s more American than paying a bunch of money for a ridiculous costume that you’ll only wear once?” As far as patriotic celebrations go, I think you may be neglecting Thanksgiving and the Fourth of July. Super Bowl Sunday? “Blatant symbols of colonialist repression and American exceptionalism...
