Do you have the perfect wiggle?
If you're looking for the "perfect wiggle," look no farther than Jessica Alba. That's according to a study led by a team of British mathematicians. They say Alba's near perfect waist to hip ratio gives her a sexy walk. The study, reported in the "Telegraph" newspaper, says the researchers found that it's the ratio between the hips and waist that puts the sway into a woman's walk. Researchers say the perfect ratio is zero-point-seven, and the closer to that ratio, the better. That translates into a woman with a 25-inch waist and 36-inch hips having just the right proportions to create a sexy swagger as she walks. The Alba walk beat the struts of Kate Moss, Angelina Jolie and even Marilyn Monroe in the competition. The Cambridge mathematicians say that while Monroe's ratio was zero-point-69, Alba comes in with the perfect proportions to make her queen of the wiggle.

Gals Like Feminine Looking Guys?
Macho Men Not Good For Long Love
(London) -- Full lips and feminine features are the qualities women want over men compared to the rugged, tough guy look. A new British study found masculine faces are often associated with dominance and that may not be as attractive in a long-term partner. Evolutionary psychologist Lynda Boothroyd led the study and believes the findings add to previous research about masculinity and offers insight into how people choose potential partners. The study found "macho men" lost out to those with "feminine" features, such as wide eyes, finer features and thinner, more curved eyebrows. The guys with the more masculine features were also thought to be less faithful and worse parents. The study is published in the journal "Personality and Individual Differences."

CSI - "Completely Stupid Individuals"
We always like when we can begin a story with the words "Here's a criminal who thought he had the perfect plan." In this case, we're referring to an alleged car buyer in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. We call him an alleged buyer because within a few minutes of stepping into the local Porsche dealership, it quickly became apparent he had planned to use his five finger discount. The well-dressed customer flashed his checkbook and asked a salesman to start up the $300,000 Porsche 911 Targa 4 so he could hear the throaty roar of its engines. Then he asked to try the vehicle's standard front seat, featuring three adjustment options with memory settings. Then without warning, he smashed James Bond-style trough the dealership's glass doors and sped off into the distance. But here's his fiendish plan's one fatal flaw. Cops found the car abandoned a mile away, where it had run out of gas.

A duel was fought between Alexander Shott and John Nott in June 1849. Nott was shot and Shott was not. In this case it is better to be Shott than Nott. Some said that Nott was not shot. But Shott says that he shot Nott. It may be that the shot Shott shot, shot Nott, or it may be possible that the shot Shott shot, shot Shott himself. We think, however, that the shot Shott shot, shot not Shott, but Nott. Anyway it is hard to tell which was shot and which was not. (Now take your finger and flip your lips)
