#1 Walked by the bra rack in Wal Mart the other day with Mrs. JohnQC. I noticed a large selection of huge bras and asked my wife about these. They looked like they were manufactured in a 1950s Communist factory for the front end of a 1950s Cadillac or Buick. Looks like the human dimensions of people are increasing over time--(heterosis or diet?).

#2 ...I, for one, welcome our new larger-breasted mistresses.

I mean, who wouldn't?

#3 A few weeks ago my wife went for her annual Mammogram,
(I provided Taxi service, she's near blind)
When the doctor was examining her I suddenly got the thought,
"That Man has the best job in the World"

Gorb, He's got you beat, there IS a better job than "Bicycle Seat Inspctor"

#4 i think it likely a combination of people being fatter during development ages, and the hormone content in foods.

total off the cuff opinion. would love to hear from someone more expert on this.

#5 I think this needs more research.

Lots and lots of "hands on" research.

Anyone got a federal grant application form?

#8 A lot of the plastics we use mimic estrogens. Even if only very tiny amounts migrate e.g. into food in the microwave, they accumulate over time.

Male sperm counts are down over the same period IIUC - probably not a coincidence.
