Modern Math

Lukas Alpert of the New York Post has written an interesting article which follows the extensive, if not exhaustive efforts of British academia in search of the perfect butt; so much for the old saying, “only in America”.

“A team of British academics has developed a mathematical formula to determine just how perfect your posterior is.”

{. . .}

“And the Rosetta Stone of bootyliciousness is: (S+C) x (B+F) / (T-V).”

No, I’m not making this up as I go; there actually was a “study” conducted; what better place than a college campus. For those obsessed with perfection in math I’ve linked to the original article which contains the means for computation and comparison of results.

"The perfect female derriere has firmness to the touch and a resilience that prevents undue wobble or bounce, yet looks soft with flawless skin," said Dr. David Holmes, a psychology lecturer at Manchester Metropolitan University devised the formula for measuring one's moons.”

Those planning to major in this field will be glad to know that it requires quite a bit of hands on training, after hours assignments might be hard but satisfying. The list of low level puns is endless; not exactly a bummer of a job.
