										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In our quest for intriguing content for you fine folks today, we looked hard and long for some interesting science based uncovering. This is what we found!</p>
<p><strong>Scientists say WOMEN are just as obsessed with breasts as men are.</strong></p>
<p>A study conducted by the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, found that men and women focus on sexual parts of the human body equally.  Meaning that it doesn’t matter if it’s a male or female—any of us would notice a seriously nice rack.</p>
<p>Nobody argues that anyone confronted with a spectacular rack, like the one below, is without a doubt going to look, man or woman. However, they might have slightly different motives; men are interested in potential mates, while women may do it as more of a comparison with themselves.</p>
<p>For men time stops and all active thought momentarily comes to a halt and every male-hormone takes over their body.<br />
<img data-recalc-dims="1" fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="alignnone " src="https://i0.wp.com/media.giphy.com/media/VKyxTfMxXRtFS/giphy.gif?resize=505%2C404&#038;ssl=1" alt="" width="505" height="404" /></p>
<p>Women, will look on with a mix feeling of jealousy and admiration wishing they too had an impressive rack that stops a whole room.</p>
<p><img data-recalc-dims="1" decoding="async" class="alignnone " src="https://i0.wp.com/media.giphy.com/media/4nhjUdxCGjsDm/giphy.gif?resize=500%2C315&#038;ssl=1" alt="" width="500" height="315" /></p>
<p>There is definitely no argument that men do indeed obsess over breasts, it&#8217;s actually a well documented fact. We have the guy that crushed his bicycle as soon as he saw <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3270653/They-ve-certainly-raised-awareness-Hilarious-moment-cyclist-crashes-distracted-breast-cancer-photoshoot-featuring-naked-models-Big-Brother-star.html" target="_blank">a model taking off her bra</a> for a photo shoot.</p>
<p>Then you have the infamous truck in Moscow  driving around a busy road with a giant picture of a woman&#8217;s boobs causing hundreds of accidents when male drivers became so distracted they crashed straight into each other.</p>
<p><img data-recalc-dims="1" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium" src="https://i0.wp.com/media.giphy.com/media/VI4q3kd2fPsKk/giphy.gif?resize=500%2C281&#038;ssl=1" alt="" width="500" height="281" /></p>
<p>Now this is truly showing that men are the champions of  boob oogling so far.</p>
<p>It might be a bit much to say women like boobs as much as men do, because it’s hard to imagine a woman falling off the treadmill because of the massive rack bobbing up and down on the next treadmill.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone " src="https://i0.wp.com/a3.files.maxim.com/image/upload/MTQxMTQ2NjgxOTY5MjIzMzYz.gif?resize=517%2C291" alt="" width="517" height="291" /></p>
<p>Science is correct, there is no denying here, because both men and women will look at boobs whether they are big or small. And sure women love boobs, they know the spell they have over men.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>WE’RE not sure whether it was a dirty weekend away or if they’d just nipped in for a quiet night’s kip, but this guest got a rude awakening when they turned on the lights in their hotel room.</p>
<p>The glow from the lampshades and the fitting cast a cheeky shadow on the ceiling which looked remarkably like an ample pair of boobs.</p>
<p>The hilarious snap was taken in a cabin in New Zealand and was originally shared on The Badcast Facebook page.</p>
<p>It was later uploaded to photo sharing website imgur, where it has garnered more than two-and-a-half million views.</p>
<p>Several users shared their thoughts on the rude reflection.</p>
<p>One wrote: “Dude this room is the breast!” while someone added: “Yes the view is quite titillating.”</p>
<p>Another posted: “Yeah, it really flashes up the room.”</p>
<p>One user joked: “Send maintenance up to room 223. Yeah, the left nipple went out again” while several claimed the picture was “NSFW” (not safe for work).</p>
<p>Another asked: “Did he pay extra?” while someone else quipped: “If you posted this on Instagram it would get banned.”</p>
<p>Perhaps this guest was staying at a Breast Western &#8230;</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Pubic hair grooming has become interestingly diverse; to the extent that there are many, many options out there! One can let it grow wild, trim it, wax it, dye it and shape it into a landing strip. How you groom your <strong>pubes</strong> says a lot about you, following is a summary on Pubes decoded!!</p>
<p>What’s your pube personality?</p>
<p><strong>FULL BUSH:</strong> You are strong character dismissing what fashion dictates and people’s strong opinions of what constitutes sex appeal down under, excuse the pun, this leads people to either love or hate you.</p>
<p><strong>LANDING STRIP:</strong> You’re always incredibly forward and precise and even in your <strong>sexual adventures</strong> you like things to be clear from the onset, indicating exactly where incoming traffic should head.</p>
<p><strong>TRIANGLE:</strong> You’re not interested in following trends you think of yourself as a trend maker showing originality at all times and under the sheets you demand attention and put the unthinkable to the test.</p>
<p><strong>AMATEUR SHAVED TUFT:</strong> You are saturated with so many plans and try to tackle them all at once therefore your attempts are rather ‘awkward’. However, due to this you are willing to try anything in bed but as usual everything at once and sometimes this might back fire and create a bit of frustration.</p>
<p><strong>SPECIAL SHAPE (LIGHTENING BOLT, HEART, ETC):</strong> This spells out attention seeker!! You crave for attention and will go to great lengths to get it. You have at one time or another done one or all of the following; gone skinny-dipping, dyed your hair a crazy color like pink, dated an older man, flashed your <strong>boobs</strong> in public, made out with a girl to turn on a guy. But it’s not all wild and crazy! Your friends love you because you let them tag along when you skip past lines at the hottest clubs, and loan them anything they want from your fashionable wardrobe. You are a source of entertainment and your friends secretly wish they had the guts to be as wild as you.</p>
<p><strong>BALD:</strong> You are bold and you don’t do anything half way. At heart you’re a perfectionist. You like everything neat and orderly regardless of the occasion, just in case, which is why your bed is always made, your dishwasher is always empty, and your vagina is always hairless. What is interesting is you seldom engage in any hanky-panky unless you see ways of doing it in an orderly and neat fashion.</p>
<p><strong>VAJAZZLED:</strong> Bling and more bling it never is enough, life and things that surround you must have a certain shine and appeal. You’re one of those women who believe in blinging everything — your shoes, your mobile phone, your handbag, your dog’s collar,your laptop and of course your vagina.</p>
<p>Now which one are you? Do you fit in any of these or are there more out there that need to be mentioned?</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Big breasts can cause big problems. </p>
<p>  The owner of Russia&#8217;s biggest silicon pair is suing an airline after she injured her prized assets when she hit the seat in front of her during some midair turbulence. </p>
<p>  Model Irene Ferrari blames the bruising on Swiss International&#8217;s skimpy business class seats, which forced her to use her breasts as airbags. </p>
<p>  Doctors said the injury could have been much worse. Luckily, her chest protected her from broken ribs.</p>
<p>  &#8220;It was a strong blow, and I hit my left breast,&#8221; said the size F brunette to NTV. &#8220;I was in pain.&#8221;</p>
<p>  Ferrari said she flies business class to accommodate her large chest. But on the flight from Moscow to Zurich, the seats were no different than economy, she claimed.</p>
<p>  Ferrari is demanding $121,000 in restitution. And the chances are, she just might get it. She won a case when she sued an unnamed airline after one of her breasts exploded upon landing.</p>
<p>  Her lawyer says they have a good case. There were many witnesses.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Actresses with breast implants have been banned from joining the cast of the next Pirates of the Caribbean film. </p>
<p>  Director Rob Marshall last week told Los Angeles casting directors only actresses with real breasts should apply for a role in the fourth film, called Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. </p>
<p>  &#8220;Beautiful female fit models,&#8221; the Times Online reported the document as requesting.</p>
<p>  &#8220;Must be 5ft 7in-5ft 8in, size 4 or 6, no bigger or smaller. Age 18-25. Must have a lean dancer body.</p>
<p>  &#8220;Must have real breasts. Do not submit if you have implants.&#8221;</p>
<p>  Marshall has warned there will also be a &#8220;show and tell day&#8221; with actresses expected to pass a test that detects breast implants. </p>
<p>  A former casting agent was quoted as saying: &#8220;In the last movie there were enhanced breasts to give that 18th-century whoreish look and men were pretty well padded to and no one worried.&#8221;</p>
<p>  &#8220;But times are changing and the audience can spot false breasts.&#8221; </p>
<p>   Scenes in the new film, which is reportedly being planned as the first in another trilogy, will be shot in Hawaii.</p>

<p>French actress Marion Cotillard stars in a new spoof ad for &#8216;Forehead Tittaes&#8217; — stick-on head-boobs designed to divert a man&#8217;s attention away from your chest and onto your face.</p>
<p>In the hilarious commercial produced by Funny Or Die, the Oscar winner describes the plastic accessories as &#8220;France&#8217;s best kept secret&#8221;.</p>
<p>&#8220;Earn their respect without sacrificing your femininity,&#8221; she says.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A man was so distracted by a woman flashing her breasts on the road, that he ran her over, according to reports from New Zealand. </p>
<p>  Cherelle May Dudfield from Invercargill appeared in court yesterday, and admitted disorderly behaviour, the Southland Times reported. </p>
<p>  NZPA says Dudfield was egged on by her friends to flash her breasts at passing motorists while in the middle of the road on September 27.</p>
<p>  However, one of the vehicles crashed into her, bringing an end to the joke.</p>
<p>  She rolled over the bonnet, cracking the windscreen but did not suffer any injuries.</p>
<p>  Dudfield was fined $275.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A beauty pageant where the only contestants are women with breast implants and facelifts suffered an unexpected setback when the favourite collapsed under the weight of her silicone chest. </p>
<p>   Beautiful blonde Alexandra Horvath, 23, stumbled and fell off her stiletto heels under the weight of her silicone implants. </p>
<p>  The implants caused Alexandra to lose her balance as she strutted her stuff in six-inch high heels. </p>
<p>  She toppled off the catwalk shortly after parading in front of judges — tearing a ligament and ending up in hospital. </p>
<p>  A friend said: &#8216;She had not got used to the extra weight on top and her new hair extensions got in her eyes &#8211; she just lost her balance and tore a ligament in her foot badly.&#8217; </p>
<p>  Miss Plastic features ‘Man Made’ patients of the country’s leading surgeons showing off everything from boob jobs and liposuction to hair transplants. </p>
<p>  Reka Urban, a 22-year-old hostess from Hungary, won the contest in her home country last weekend. </p>
<p>  The contest was organised by doctors and women who had cosmetic surgery but were angry about being banned from conventional beauty contests. </p>
<p>  Two of the 20 finalists had previously been thrown out of pageants after judges found they had false boobs. </p>
<p>  The pageant’s organiser Miss Reka Bodis said: “The entry requirement is a surgical procedure done under general or local anaesthesia. </p>
<p>  “Unfortunately, Hungarians are still negative about cosmetic surgery and a lot of stereotypes are going about. </p>
<p>  “We are not seeking to promote extremely large breasts and the like.”</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Help! I&#8217;ve just had my breasts enlarged and I don&#8217;t like the new size. British embassy &#8211; sort out my boobs! </p>
<p>  Along with tips on jam-making and how best to discipline naughty boys, these are just a few of the crazy requests being fired at British embassies around the world, the Foreign Office said on Thursday.</p>
<p>  The country&#8217;s 261 diplomatic missions across the globe are getting fed up of bizarre demands for help from Brits abroad, some of whom seem to think the British embassy is an agency for finding lost sunglasses and paying bills.</p>
<p>  &#8220;If you have a serious problem abroad &#8211; maybe you&#8217;ve been involved in an accident, have lost your passport or are a victim of crime &#8211; we can help you,&#8221; said Juliet Maric, the British Consul in Alicante on the Spanish east coast.</p>
<p>  &#8220;But we can&#8217;t tell you who is allowed to use your swimming pool, pay your taxi fares for you &#8211; or do anything about the exchange rate.</p>
<p>  &#8220;We regularly get inquiries from people who think we&#8217;re a one-stop-shop for any problem they might encounter while abroad; this can be frustrating as we need to focus resources on the serious cases that we&#8217;re there to help with.&#8221;</p>
<p>  One lady, unhappy with the size of her newly-boosted breasts following surgery, asked if the embassy could help.</p>
<p>  A mother asked the Florida consulate to help her teenage son pack his suitcase and give him a lift to the airport as he was feeling unwell.</p>
<p>  One person called in consular assistance to find out what ratio of fruit to sugar should be used when making jam.</p>
<p>  A holidaymaker in Italy asked the embassy where a particular brand of shoes could be bought.</p>
<p>  Other requests have included asking for embassy staff to pay a bill when a credit card had &#8220;maxed out&#8221; and a traveller asking &#8220;Can you tell me how to make my naughty son behave?&#8221;</p>
