Artist Wins £20,000 Grant To Study Women's Butts 202
Sue Williams has been awarded a £20,000 grant by the Arts Council of Wales, to "explore cultural attitudes towards female buttocks." Sue plans to examine racial attitudes towards bottoms in Europe and Africa and create plaster casts of women's behinds to try to understand their place in contemporary culture. And here I've been studying the issue all these years for free like a sucker!

You other post-docs can't deny
That when a sponsor walks in with a stupid-ass proposal
A fat wallet at your disposal
You get sprung
Wanna pull up tough
Cuz you notice that purse was stuffed
Full of the cash you're needing
I'm hooked and I can't stop spending
Baby's got cash
Baby's got cash
Little in tha middle but she got big backers

My theory is there is a relationship between butts and breasts:
Women with the nicest butts have smaller breasts.
Women with larger breasts have pudgier butts.
Women with larger breasts *and* the nicest butts have fake breasts.
My guess on the outcome of the study is that all straight men like looking at women's butts.
That'll be 20k please. :)

I am among a very secret an tightly knit circle of experts. Currently 3 x 10^9 members pertain to this club. We recognize each other by a prurient grin on our faces.
If anything, differences in skin, religion and culture intensify our bond as we admire in reverend awe every single instance. (However, when our duties are accomplished we might take up where we left and proceed with cracking each other's sculls.)
Now I shall drink tea whilst adopting the erected wee finger position.
To women's backsides we all cheer hooray!

Psychophysiology of Gluteal Recognition? (Score:5, Funny)
When I was a pimply, hormone-addled teen going thru puberty, I could identify every female in my high school, from behind, at a distance of up to a quarter mile.
Despite the prevalence of ultra-tight acid-washed jeans in the early 80's, my skill didn't rely solely on shape, oh no. A detailed analysis of cyclic ambulatory gluteal displacement was key to identification.
I thought I was the only one who had this talent, until much later when I learned it is actually common. (Same goes for the "mental VCR," aka spankbank, but that's another story.)
Is this going to be a part of the study?

That's the difference between a study and an uneducated guess.
Sure, sometimes the study simply confirms what everyone knows. Still, it's confirmation. And everyone "knew" once that the earth is flat, women have no souls, and above the clouds you'll find heaven. The important questions were how many angels can dance on the top of a pin or whether or not heathens qualify as human beings.
I, for one, am glad that we've moved beyond that and actually investigate the things that "everyone knows". Be they as important as gravity, or as mundane as womens' buttocks.
mundane........ sheeesh only on slashdot

Gravity might be important but I'm comfortable letting it do what its going to do. Women's butts on the other hand, well God made them for me to enjoy staring at and who am I to disobey God.
People still don't know if women have souls, or if heaven isn't above the clouds and probably will never confirm it with an experiment. That would be a great research project: guaranteed funding for life.
