designer creates wall of breasts

a dutch designer has created a wall of fake breasts to help male shoppers buy bras that fit their wives or girlfriends.

wendy rameckers works at the piet zwart institute for retail and design in rotterdam, reports het nieuwsblad.

“most men have a selective memory,” she explained. “they know all about their car, but never seem to know their wife’s bra size.

“when trying to buy a sexy bra for their wife or girlfriend, usually they point to other women in the shop or, when asked about size, they say a ‘handful’.”

the wall consists of rows of silicon breasts in all sizes. by look and touch, male shoppers can work out the right size, she says.

as much as I love to knit, I’m pretty limited to scarves. as much as I admire the work that went into these, here are items I will never attempt:

tonight when I was in the food court at valley fair, I noticed a guy standing near the sushi place. he was passing out samples. well, “passing out” isn’t quite it. he was standing there with a tray, waiting for people to approach him, and while he was doing this, he was picking his nose…with his thumb.

arigato, but I’m not much of a fan of roe on top of my california rolls, let alone boogers.

…those signs at mcdonalds, printed in large type that say “braille menus available.”

and how come the guy who took my call is named Mr. Poor?

why is it that on days of our lives, sami sends out save the date cards, for a wedding that’s the next week? don’t you usually do that way before the date of the wedding to let people know to…oh, I don’t know…save the date? but then on the big day, her wedding ceremony lasts a week. even with the interruptions by salem police about a well-known terrorist being loose in salem (who happens to be sami, herself, unbeknownst to everyone in salem), it still shouldn’t take a week.

in another story, belle finds out she’s pregnant and only 6 weeks later, is about 5 months along, and going into early labor. if belle has the kid this early, it’ll magically come out full term, and probably be in kindergarten by christmas. the baby’s father is philip (who recently lost his leg in a land mine blast (thanks to sami, in disguise as the aforementioned terrorist) while serving his marine duties in iraq (before being rescued by his friends, who decided they’d bring him home after the government determined it was too dangerous to try) and learned all about incredible prosthetics and how to live a normal life from heather mills mccartney, who paid a visit to his hospital bed (and only 2 weeks ago got out of his wheelchair and tried his prosthetic leg, and today is walking just fine). whew. still with me?

in the meantime, belle’s mother, marlena has amnesia, yet as she helps belle with premature labor, she has flashbacks of giving birth to belle. could this be the breakthrough we’ve all been waiting for? will marlena pick john black, her husband? or roman brady, her ex-husband she slept with and got pregnant, and the stress from keeping her secret affair and pregnancy caused her to faint, and miscarry, the shock of which caused amnesia? or will marlena pick that creepy doctor north, played by the same actor who played roman brady a long time ago and marlena also has flashbacks of being with him, but he’s been hypnotizing her to pick him.

like counting the sands through the hourglass, these are the things that keep me up at night.

at any rate, we look forward to working with you. lemme put it another way: we look forward to hearing your vision, so we can more better do our job. that’s what I’m tellin’ you.” — president george dubya bush
