Something on the lighter side

[drwex]

Feel like crap today, so wanting something a bit lighter I turned to one of the humor lists I'm subscribed to, which produced this gem, on the physics of bras:

Also, some professional acquaintances of mine are doing their annual NSF-funded privacy survey. Here's what they write:

Researchers at ThePrivacyPlace.Org are conducting an online survey about privacy policies and user values. The survey is supported by an NSF ITR grant (National Science Foundation Information Technology Research) and will help us establish with our investigations of privacy policy expression and user comprehension thereof.

The URL is: http://survey.theprivacyplace.org/

We need to attract several thousand respondents, and would be most appreciative if you would consider helping us get the word out about the survey which takes about 5 to 10 minutes to complete. The results will be made available in 2006 via our project website (http://www.theprivacyplace.org/).

Prizes include a $50 Amazon.com gift certificates and IBM-sponsored giveaways."

Man, I want that new bra.

I myself have spent a ludicrous amount of money on bras during this weight crash, going from 36D to 32B and having to buy bras for seemingly every size in between. And they don't *make* a supportive 32B. They assume that you want padding and/or pushup, if you are so unlucky as to no longer have a Rack of Doom.

I just want a bra that fits. *pouts mightily*

I'm puzzled by why that article would wind up on a "humor" list -- it's hard to imagine that it'd be forwarded there by a woman.

(It's an excellent article, and I'm glad you posted the pointer. But funny it's not.)
