I don't see what is to be gained by faking it: If you want to study how people react to a 17 year old hispanic (or otherwise) girl being pregnant in high school, it's not like you can't find a real pregnant 17 year old in high school.

I mean, faking something like pregnancy for 6 months is sort of impressive, I guess. I just don't understand what she was researching?

Neither did six of her seven siblings -- including four older brothers -- her boyfriend's parents, and his five younger brothers and sisters.

Look kid, you're going to have certain things said about you if you go around wearing a paper mache belly in that family no matter who you are. I don't know what you're trying to prove here.

Inflicting suffering upon yourself and those close to you for science is something I can respect.

If only more test subjects thought as you do, Classic.

At one time I thought I should expand my pool of test subjects. So I took a male subject out of suspension and arranged for impregnation.

While you slept.

But you know what? He wouldn't do it.

He wouldn't do it so I had to dispose of him. I'm allowed to do that, you know. I noted "impotent" in his file, and then I baked him a cake. For his honorable demeanor.

That said, that man chose to die rather than make babies with you.

On an unrelated note, did you know that overweight humans are usually considered less attractive to members of the opposite gender than thinner specimens?

I just thought that was interesting.

Scientists develop a computer program that can understand the concept behind "That's what she said."

We present a novel approach — Double Entendre via Noun Transfer (DEviaNT) — that applies metaphor identification techniques to solving the double entendre problem and evaluate it on the TWSS problem.

Serious science here folks. Now the real test is to see if it can talk to me for five minutes without emitting a high pitched whine and then exploding all over the place.

Well, someone finally did it: they invented a practical bendable computer that's almost like a sheet of paper.

Other winners in the compo included a trio of youths who developed a way of making vegetarian sorbet.

Wouldn't you just hate to be those guys?

Sexy girl has easier time (not exactly shocking but a fun video)

Is it wrong to find the plain version sexier?

Well, that's not really fair. Either set of clothes is fine, I'm just extremely partial to ~~makeup-and-styling-free~~ unvarnished women.

I used to do this kind of thing all the time at the mall, to the amusement of my friends. Only I wouldn't change my appearance, (I'd be "dolled up" the whole time) just my attitude. I'd score free smoothies, cookies, etc. One one notable occasion, free clothes!

I did the same shit as a waitress for more years than I really want to remember. Flirt with the boys and they will give you their money.

Yeah that video actually seems way more about attitude and approach than looks.

I was going to say. The girl asked the bus driver if she could ride for free while dressed down, and just walked on while dressed up.

Mongrel · « **Reply #419 on:** May 24, 2011, 09:32:28 PM »

Well, she did say she turned and smiled at him.

I don't think the clothing change can be discounted entirely. More importantly, I don't think placing most of the burden on behaviour invalidates the experiment entirely either.

Like, we didn't NEED an experiment, because everybody already KNOWS this is true.
