    She is indeed a real person... and the unposties are something my brother Shawn drools over...

    However, the question is... what is more distracting or less distracting... I personally believe she is quite distracting... I vote she has to drive so I can say something about being distracted on the phone...

    Silicon is real. Perhaps you mean to ask whether she's had augmentation surgery. Personally, I think there's such a thing as too large. Proportionality is a component of beauty. A well-proportioned figure is, in my opinion, more attractive than one in which certain parts are out of proportion to the figure as a whole.

    So you think she should go larger for better proportion?

    Someone is at this very moment imagining her... reading something to them...

    Yeah... it could be distracting...

    Re: Do you think talking with someone by bluetooth is more distracting than talking with a passenger

    I just recently saw the results of a brain study, where young men were shown photos of women with naked rear ends. The same photos were shown unmodified and digitally "enhanced" to increase the ratio of hip to waste size without altering the weight of the models. Brain scans showed brain activity while viewing the pictures.

    While all of the photos kicked off a lot of brain activity, the enhanced photos produced brain activity consistent with recreational drug use. As most of us have long suspected, young men are rendered senseless by curvy females.

    I read somewhere long ago that women's hip-to-waist ratio has something to do with child-bearing ability. Thus men have been conditioned through eons of evolution to look for this trait. I'm serious!

    Now, back to our regular programming... :)

    Nope. Her eyes, nose, and mouth are just right, as are her arms and legs, as much of them as we see in the photo. I was referring to the protuberances most often enlarged surgically. Those could benefit by reduction.

    Young men nowadays take drugs whenever they see an enhanced photo? When I was young we didn't need drugs when we looked at enhanced photos.

    This has already been proven by Dr. Mix-A-Lot, MD, PhD.

    I resemble this remark. The study only involved young men. They probably figured it was a waste of time to test dirty old men like us.

    No... it is my great grandad's line... the only pure blood fella in a long line of kin...

    Not that there's anything wrong with that...

    0.7 to be exact. Here's an example:

    They state the idea WHR is 0.7 for women and 0.9 for men, and that higher numbers are less healthy. But they do not say where the line is between acceptable and overweight or obese. How far away from "ideal" can you be and still be healthy???
