Re: on such light weight stuff as the Verdi Requiem the Bach B Minor Mass
reminds me of a friend, chemist turn programer, who, when visiting NY was surprized at by the crowd he encountered at the Met on sunday morning. his comment "only in NY could an artsy-craftsy like this draw a such a crowd".
Somehow, I had never thought of the Metropolitan Museum of Art as artsy-craftsy.

Hi, Vixy - welcome to the board.
Submarine tastes aside, yes, the Beatles fit into my personal enormous club sandwich between Bach and Linkin Park. So much music out there...!

Why am I not surprised that she was dumb enough to fall for that? After all, her principal qualifications for the job were 1) a handsome pair of jugs, and 2) a willingness to show them off in a T-shirt. If she collects anything, it will be a miscarriage of justice. And one wonders in what currency she will be paying her lawyers. (Tut-tut -- nasty mind.)

A former Hooters waitress has sued the restaurant where she worked, saying she was promised a new Toyota for winning a beer sales contest. -- WO'N

I'm not sure that's quite fair, Bob. I think if my employer told me the same thing, I wouldn't even consider the possibility that they might be lying. Just because she works at a distasteful restaurant doesn't mean she deserves to have a fast one pulled on her by her bosses. I think we would have a different reaction to the story if she was a server at a high-end steak house, or even a diner.

Gotta disagree with you on this one, Byb. I'm not sticking up for Hooters waitresses or a society that encourages such exploitation, but if her story's true (parking lot, vehicle tax) I think she deserves compensation.
(not that I anything against my anastrophic buddy Yoda have)

You are out on a limb with this one bob--i have never seen a study that shows any relationship between large breasts and small minds.. but everyone presumes it exists.. there is still the attitude a woman can't be good looking and smart at the same time... and exceptions are "funny"-- (see humor thread, and movie "legally blonde")

...relationship between large breasts and small minds...
I need a witty riposte here, but I can't think of one! Apparently, there is some truth to the proposition....

I doubt very much that the intelligence of the girls who work at Hooters is substantially different from the girls who do not. It may be true that many pretty girls are given the impression that they need not try hard to acquire an education. Modelling is more highly regarded, but otherwise different only in the number of males attempting to grope them. And I believe that pretty girls' mothers not only do not encourage them to enter professions, they often discourage it out of jealousy (Admittedly based on a small number of observationa.)
