April 26th is cleavage day: FOR SCIENCE!

[Brewdude]

http://www.blaghag.com/2010/04/in-name-of-science-i-offer-my-boobs.html



...Sedighi claims that not dressing modestly causes earthquakes. If so, we should be able to test this claim scientifically.
...

...
On Monday, April 26th, I will wear the most cleavage-showing shirt I own. Yes, the one usually reserved for a night on the town. I encourage other female skeptics to join me and embrace the supposed supernatural power of their breasts.
...



I think spreading the word to other messageboards you haunt and everyone you know is in order.

[The Vorpal Tribble]

Oh, absolutely. It's for science! :smallamused:

[Malfunctioned]

I wholeheartedly agree with this idea! On another note I could flash a bit of man-cleavage if that would help.

[The Vorpal Tribble]

I wonder if pecs count...

[snoopy13a]

So we're not celebrating embryotic development?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleavage_(embryo)

[Nameless]

Does that mean Men can just not wear shirts at all?

[Malfunctioned]

I wonder if pecs count...

Well on me it's more like ribs but I suppose so....

[13_CBS]

Whoo! Geology! I love--

Wait, so we're not talking about rock cleavage? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleavage_(geology))

...

:smallfrown:

[Shadowcaller]

Does that mean Men can just not wear shirts at all?

Nah, it means all guys need to get man-boobs before april 26!

[Supagoof]

Perhaps it'll cause a new hit pop single.

"My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard buildings to the ground."

[Syka]

Oh my god this is hysterical. I would do it except I have class and I make it a point to not wear anything even possibly baring to class. Professionalism and all that.

Either way, I will be passing it on. :smallcool:

[Quincunx]

There are two characteristics of man-boob caused by excess fat and not a hormonal imbalance: down-sloping nipples and lack of cleavage. You'll have to find other, less female ways to look slutty.

[Nameless]

Nah, it means all guys need to get man-boobs before april 26!

*opens mouth*
*puts up a "feed me cake" sign*

[Comet]

Didn't you guys read the highly scientific plan to the end?
Women dress in a way that would lead men to a path of sin. Men then proceed to walk down this path, quite happily too. Earthquakes happen.

Seriously. Science is not that hard, you just have to concentrate on the essential :smalltongue:

[Force]

[Etcetera]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleavage_(embryo)

Bah, Why do so many people mess up the brackets on wikipedia URLs.

On another note. I wholeheartedly support this event.

[Comet]

Oh ye of little faith in man....:smallamused:

I know I will contribute to this endeavour in the only way that is scientifically justified and expected of me: admiring the show. :smallbiggrin:

[Forever Curious]

...so wait: scandalous dress -> chastity corruption -> adultery -> earthquakes -> profit?

Um...so influx of sin causes tectonic disturbances? I approve with this logic :smallcool:

In any event, the exact statement is "women who do not dress modestly". If men join in, it could invalidate the data!

[Ranna]

isn't every day cleavage day? - it usually gets me what I want..

I kid, I kid, I only work with women no cleavage needed.

[BisectedBrioche]

*opens mouth*
*puts up a "feed me cake" sign*
*waits*

*places a cake of soap, cake of rosin, cake of ice, urinal cake and uranium ore in Nameless' mouth*

[snoopy13a]

On another note. I wholeheartedly support this event.

Bah, why do so many people complain about trivial things...

[Malfunctioned]

In any event, the exact statement is "women who do not dress modestly". If men join in, it could invalidate the data!

Maybe we should have a group of men on one day, women on the next and Nameless on the third as a control group?

[Forever Curious]

Bah, why do so many people complain about trivial things...

Bah, why do so people feel the need to comment on such things...

[Quincunx]

Maybe we should have a group of men on one day, women on the next and Nameless on the third as a control group?

Now this, I support! :smalltongue:

[Jacklu]

Jackie whole heartedly supports (*giggles*) this event. In fact... *readies mass GB gun* =3 More cleavage to support the cause.

[DraPrime]

Bah, why do so people feel the need to comment on such things...

Bah, why do we keep saying bah?

[Malfunctioned]

Bah, why do we keep saying bah?

Bah humbug!

[Nameless]

Maybe we should have a group of men on one day, women on the next and Nameless on the third as a control group?


I'm sorry, what?

*spits out all the cakes*

[Castaras]

Operation: Boobquake gaining momentum. Success 87.33% certified. Returning to base. Over and out.

[Emperor Ing]

Don't worry about it Nameless.

And I wholeheartedly support this, c'mon ladies, I don't think Adam + Jamie can do it alone, V-necks. for SCIENCE!!

[Closak]

*Lies down and opens mouth*

*Puts up sign that says "Feed me" and "Put food in dragons mouth"*


...*Begins ravenously devouring all in my path*



In other news...wut?

[GrlumpTheElder]

This is the reason I only study science at A-Level!!!

[John Cribati]

Let me get this straight...
Women dress like wh*res-> young men are led astray-> corrupt chastity-> spread adultery -> ??? -> earthquakes.
Of Course! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NgR3N8y4boQ)

[Fifty-Eyed Fred]

I knew about earthquakes cleaving the earth, but I didn't realise it was reciprocal... I suppose there's only one way to find out! *grabs spade*

Wait, what's that you say? Oh. Well in that case, this experiment just got a lot better. :smallbiggrin:

[Trobby]

A little extra information from the Blogist, who is rather surprised at the support and wants to address any concerns people may have about the event. (http://www.blaghag.com/2010/04/quick-clarification-about-boobquake.html)

A rather interesting blog, if I do say so myself...I may just have to subscribe to it.

[Dust]

Three of my female friends have agreed to this 'study,' and one declared she will 'take it one step further' and 'be as naked as possible for the entire day.'

Thanks, internet science!

[deuxhero]

I point to my TVTropes title and give a big fat meh.

[Trog]

Um...so influx of sin causes tectonic disturbances?
Testonic disturbances, more likely.

[TheThan]

Oh my god this is hysterical. I would do it except I have class and I make it a point to not wear anything even possibly baring to class. Professionalism and all that.
:smallcool:

Fixed that for you… :smallwink:


No seriously, I support this event whole heartily. This guy’s idea is just silly. That, and I would love to see women running around immodestly. Not to mention the word “boobquake” made me laugh.

[Coidzor]

Perhaps it'll cause a new hit pop single.

"My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard buildings to the ground."

You know... I always wondered what bit of anatomy that referred to. I guess I'd just assumed it was the ass due to the whole cultural assumptions about the singer.

[Pyrian]

Dude, milk. :smallamused:

[Mordokai]

I do love science :smallbiggrin:

[Anuan]

I do love science :smallbiggrin:

And milk! :smallbiggrin:

[Callos_DeTerran]

You mad women! You'll kill us all with your cleavage-baring disrespect for your cleavage's power to cause earthquakes! The monkeys won't take over the earth, it'll be destroyed by your cleavage-earthquake! DAMMMNNN YOOOUUUUU!

Oh, is that what that means.

[Agamid]

I'd always hoped that i'd find a way to use my breasts for evil.

[Serpentine]

Let me get this straight...
Women dress like wh*res-> young men are led astray-> corrupt chastity-> spread adultery -> ??? -> earthquakes.
Of Course! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NgR3N8y4boQ)Not "like whores", but "immodest according to the incredibly strict morals of an ultra-conservative religious leader". Big difference.

You only have one?

Wait. I'm confused.

Are we or are we not supposed to want to drink that? :smallconfused:

[Maximum Zersk]

God, you people are reminding me of Mustang's gang.

"When I become Fuhrer, I shall force every woman to wear TINY MINISKIRTS!!!"

"I'll never betray you Colonel!"

[Crispy Dave]

So I just decided to be "that perv" by posting this on my facebook. I did it for science.

[BtanH]

This is hilarious, gonna facebook it as well.

[absolmorph]

So I just decided to be "that perv" by posting this on my facebook. I did it for science.
As did I, not long after I saw this.

[Icewalker]

I already know someone who was in the facebook group, which does not at all surprise me. Three more people I know have joined since.

[Lioness]

I'm in!

^^

[Coidzor]

God, you people are reminding me of Mustang's gang.

"When I become Fuhrer, I shall force every woman to wear TINY MINISKIRTS!!!"

"I'll never betray you Colonel!"

Yeah, my eyes sort of roll up into the back of my head and I stop listening whenever they throw that word around.

[Fifty-Eyed Fred]

Yeah, my eyes sort of roll up into the back of my head and I stop listening whenever they throw that word around.

It just means leader, you know. It's still used in many German compound words, though not usually on its own, because, you know, Hitler. Just accept that Amestris is a military dictatorship.

Anyway, back to cleavage day...

[Eldan]

Also, at least in the swiss (boy) scouts, we still have Führers. Three in the local group when I still was part of it.

[Asta Kask]

Too bad it's such a short time to prepare... otherwise we could have done something with the avatars. (Nothing not PG-13, obviously, but still.)

[Forever Curious]

...Boobquake in the Playground? I'm in! :smallbiggrin:

[rakkoon]

It's this kind of scientific conversations that keep drawing me back to this site.
Oh and long live Thog!

[paddyfool]

I support this, and have happily joined the facebook page (current membership: 83,000) and advertised it on two other forums. I just hope the blogger in question sets out a proper research question with precisely stated outcomes before Monday...

[Shades of Gray]

Oh my gosh. My birthday is Cleavage Day!

[Forever Curious]

Oh my gosh. My birthday is Cleavage Day!

Lucky guy. :smallwink:

[Deth Muncher]

I only found out about this by several female friends of mine having joined the Facebook group.

Glorious day of sin and earthquakes will be glorious.

[Asta Kask]

Oh my gosh. My birthday is Cleavage Day!

That's your present right there...

[The_Librarian]

Does it count that I'm having a day off that day? Because I am so in on this!

@V Hey you! I feel slightly ashamed that I have been lured out of lurking for this - but only slightly :smallamused:

[Castaras]

Does it count that I'm having a day off that day? Because I am so in on this!

LIBRIS!!!! :smallbiggrin::smallbiggrin: *hugs!*

[Weimann]

Okay, I need an official ruling on this. Does manboobs count, or would that contaminate the data?

Because I can totally do that, I just need to know if it's explicitly female cleavage that are tested for earthquake induction.

[Asta Kask]

Female only. Although it's a safe guess that trans-people would probably qualify as an abomination for this particular cleric and so should show cleavage regardless of physical sex.

[Lady Tialait]

I already planned on doing this....FOR SCIENCE!

[Dallas-Dakota]

Ofcourse, I expect there are pics coming from my fangirl?:smalltongue:

Because science is nothing, without PROOF.

[Thajocoth]

It isn't science if you don't repeat the experiment to remove random variance.

April 26th 2010: First Annual Cleavage Day.

[Inhuman Bot]

It isn't science if you don't repeat the experiment to remove random variance.

April 26th 2010: First Annual Cleavage Day.

I am Anatharon and I support this idea.

[Faceist]

I'll make sure my girlfriend participates... For science! Bare your structrual geology and shift some titonic plates!

[raitalin]

How much is it going to suck if there's a major Earthquake on April 26th?

[Lioness]

...shift some titonic plates!

I love you

[Boo]

I'll make sure my girlfriend participates... For science! Bare your structrual geology and shift some titonic plates!

I don't think there is a better pun out there...

[Serpentine]

It isn't science if you don't repeat the experiment to remove random variance.

April 26th 2010: First Annual Cleavage Day.Only if the other days are randomly selected, though. What if earthquake frequency is effected by time of year?
Also, will my poledancing Serp suffice for Monday? Or maybe my Hawaiian one?

[CurlyKitGirl]

Poledancer.
I'm going to be doing this, only got the one lecture so no harm done. And the weather's nice for once.

[paddyfool]

Female only. Although it's a safe guess that trans-people would probably qualify as an abomination for this particular cleric and so should show cleavage regardless of physical sex.

Heh... that's an idea. It would be a fine excuse to dress up in drag.

[BloodyAngel]

I fully support this test, after all, it IS for science!

I shall wear the lowest neck I own and my push-upiest bra! I don't know if my little girls will help much in the tectonic shifting, but it's the thought that counts, right? :smallbiggrin:

[Weimann]

I'm of the opinion that men should be allowed to participate as well. Maybe not by wearing push-up bras, but we could dress up hawtly.

*hums appropriate themesong (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8splwEtRGk)*

[Trobby]

I'm of the opinion that men should be allowed to participate as well. Maybe not by wearing push-up bras, but we could dress up hawtly.

*hums appropriate themesong (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8splwEtRGk)*

On the other hand, we have a theme song Appropriate for the day... (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ePusmtf1IQ)

My only sad is that I'll be knee-deep in finishing papers on that day. :(

[Ganurath]

I'm of the opinion that men should be allowed to participate as well.It's an inevitable neccesity, actually: The cleric that is being responded to didn't say showing cleavage caused earthquakes, but rather the promiscuity that said displays inspired. So... Yeah.

[Bor the Barbarian Monk]

You just had to start a new thread for this, didn't you? Couldn't post it in the You Thread, could you? Well, here and now, I declare, in the name of science, of course..."PICTURES OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN!" :smalltongue:

[Elder Tsofu]

Is this the sort of thing people show of in the "You" thread?

*Makes mental note of checking that thread more often*

[Mordokai]

That does sound like a prudent choice of actions :smallbiggrin:

[Raiki]

Is this the sort of thing people show of in the "You" thread?

*Makes mental note of checking that thread more often*

This is the sort of thing that everyone wishes was shown off in the YOU! thread. Hence Bor's frustration.

[dogmac]

Note to self: find location of corset tonight....

[SMEE]

No cleavage for me... v.v
But I'll do my part by wearing very short shorts.

[dogmac]

http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s157/dogmac/stuff/Image002-1.jpg


Actually, that is corset. Revealing enough? I have a dress of incredible subtlely

[Coidzor]

I must admit, a rather unusual place to get a shot of a corset from.

Granted, we can't tell how revealing it is, beyond that it's not a half-cup.

[rayne_dragon]

I will laugh if there really is an earthquake.

[Coidzor]

I will laugh if there really is an earthquake.

That'll just make me want it to happen again.

[Cleverdan22]

I'm making sure to inform all of my female friends of this. Some are more receptive than others though...ow my face.

[Rockphed]

I will laugh if there really is an earthquake.

I am almost positive there will be an earthquake. The question is whether or not there will be an interesting earthquake anywhere interesting. A 7.1 in the middle of a barren wasteland doesn't attract much attention. A 1.1 right under all but the worst built city would barely be noticed. Get the picture?

Edit: Personally, I would rather there weren't any interesting quakes anywhere interesting. I don't like it when people die.

[absolmorph]

I'm making sure to inform all of my female friends of this. Some are more receptive than others though...ow my face.
Man up! Endure the pain! It's for science!

[golentan]

1 day until the madness destroys us all in a massive earthquake of death!!!!

Also, on an unrelated note, cleavage day is tomorrow. I just set the earthquake machine to trigger on the 26th to see how much it panics people.

So... apparently some of my friends will be going around topless. And one may be going bottomless, as well. I suspect I may need to put on a neck brace, I have a tendency to glance downward a lot but doing so on monday may result in slow, torturous death.

[Borgh]

how about we make this an anual event, held on 21 december? That way we should filter out all the background static from the normal cleavage and we could actually quantify the tremor-per-boob.


EDIT: ok, just found out that the mayans did predict that the fifth cycle of the Long Count would end in earthquakes. My little joke just managed to freak me out a bit.

[SMEE]

But december 21st is in the middle of the summer! There will be cleavage and short shorts abound around here! :smalleek:

[Asta Kask]

[Emperor Ing]

I still think it would be better to randomise the time of year...

:smallconfused: you called?

October 4th. There ya go.

Also SMEE, i'm sorry but Cleavage or GTFO, that's the way this is supposed to work. I'm quite certain there are few if any theories on earthquakes being caused by J-Lo-esque booty shorts.

[Serpentine]

Not at all, Random, and don't be rude. It's "immodest dress", not "boobs".

[tyckspoon]

Also SMEE, i'm sorry but Cleavage or GTFO, that's the way this is supposed to work. I'm quite certain there are few if any theories on earthquakes being caused by J-Lo-esque booty shorts.

Nah, the fundamentally-minded cleric in question was railing against 'immodest dress promoting promiscuous behavior' in general. The blogger responding simply chose cleavage because, as she said in her blog, she happens to have it, and encourages other people to choose whatever form of immodest dress they like best.

[SMEE]

Precisely, and you better believe that my short shorts can be VERY immodest. :smallyuk:

[SensFan]

You are probably right. Anyone know if earthquakes follow a Poisson distribution?

Wait and see, big man. :smallamused:

[Emperor Ing]

Not at all, Random, and don't be rude. It's "immodest dress", not "boobs".

That doesn't mean <insert (super)natural force here> doesn't have a preference. :smallwink:

[Elentari]

I'm sad I can't participate seeing as I have work and we can't wear anything at all immodest :smallfrown:

[Asta Kask]

I'm sad I can't participate seeing as I have work and we can't wear anything at all immodest :smallfrown:

But can't wear something on the way to and fro work? Every little bit helps.

[Elentari]

But can't wear something on the way to and fro work? Every little bit helps.

Not really seeing as I go to school, then go straight to work afters. Maybe I can wear something when I get home.

[Raiki]

Precisely, and you better believe that my short shorts can be VERY immodest. :smallyuk:

I aprove of using SMEE's legs for science(!).

That is all.

~R~

Fake edit: Also, posted this on my LJ, hopefully that will help the word get around a bit more.

[EleventhHour]

It's April 26th somewhere, right?

[Malfunctioned]

It's April 26th somewhere, right?

From now I will be hoping it will be April 26th everywhere. All the time. It's the only to test the earthquake theory......

[Yora]

If the world does not get destroyed tomorrow, we propably have to repeat the experiment with more participants.

[Faulty]

Am I the only one here who thinks this is an incredibly stupid idea? Amanda Marcotte (http://pandagon.net/index.php/site/comments/boobquake/) articulated it better than I can, so did Gayle Force from Unnatural Forces, but that mentions the Iranian revolution and politics so I'm not going to link it.

I support the spirit of the movement but, like most ideas, sigh at its devolution and implementation. My opinion pretty much reflects this article (http://www.salon.com/life/broadsheet/2010/04/22/boobquake_open2010).

[Asta Kask]

I think it's a fun idea and I think that Beth Mann's remark about this not being radical enough is off the mark. She seems to be too steeped in gender power theory to make much sense of a world where power stems from all kinds of things not genderous. But I can't really criticize her without getting into politics, so... :smallsigh:

[EleventhHour]

People take things far too seriously. :smallsigh:

[Elder Tsofu]

Are you serious?
Nah, I agree - but we must let people try to score easy points amongst their followers.

Well, it's 9:44am here in Sydney, and I'm about to go to the shops with my daughter.

Expect reports of earthquakes in Australia soon.

[Lioness]

I'm not dressed yet (that's immodest in itself), but soon I shall by donning my cleavage-bearing top, and going to the pool in my bathers (shock!). For Science!

[dogmac]

Goodness me, where are you that it is still warm enough to go to the pool?

Of course, in an indoor pool, it would be fine here too, and indeed, sproglet asked for it, but I refused. We made a carrot cake instead. In the oven now. Come on over over exposed hussie girls!

[SMEE]

I have already chosen the proper clothing for tomorrow. :smallamused:

My sister and I shall reveal our ample cleavage everywhere

Now look what you've done. And only a couple hours into the experiment, too... (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/huff-wires/20100426/as-taiwan-earthquake/)

Because if immodest dress = earthquakes, my college is EFFED.

Immodesty doesn't cause earthquakes in and of itself. I think most sane people agree on that, and obviously some not-so-sane folks as well (welp, even I'm on board with "The display of any portion of someone's anatomy has no noticeable impact on the seismography of this or any other planet, unless someone out there is *severely* over acceptable biomass levels. Tyranids, I'm looking at you. Don't make me thwack you again. I mean it!" school of thought).

That said, I know if I were an all powerful and omniscient being, and I saw this sort of scale response being mobilized over a silly comment like that, I might be tempted to kick over a few fault lines early and watch the pandemonium as people with only flimsy understanding of causation, correlation, and the difference between panic and all switch to wearing shapeless potato-sack garments.

Sadly, I don't think I can manage that without casualties... Not omniscient or powerful enough... :smallfrown:

Nuh-uh. Earthquakes happen (almost?) every day. The question is: will there be more of them than usual?

[Coidzor]

Now look what you've done. And only a couple hours into the experiment, too... (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/huff-wires/20100426/as-taiwan-earthquake/)

(No reports of casualties so far, I pray it stays that way, but the timing... oh the timing is hilarious...)

Awesome, looks like getting their building codes updated last decade helped, then.

[absolmorph]

Nuh-uh. Earthquakes happen (almost?) every day. The question is: will there be more of them than usual?
And will they be bigger.

[paddyfool]

The Taiwanese one was the biggest since the 13th... not really big enough to be that meaningful though.

It does, however, further highlight how important it is to define your primary outcome(s) before starting the experiment. Currently, the only at all well-defined one we've got is a quake in Indiana (which would be really unlikely under ordinary circumstances). However, since the experiment has gone global, it's questionable how valid that would be, and we don't even have a magnitude for that. I'd suggest, therefore, something like the following outcomes:

1) A quake somewhere of at least magnitude 8.0 (the strongest in the past 30 days was 7.8 (http://www.iris.edu/seismon/last30.html))
2) A quake somewhere at least as devastating as that in Port-au-Prince
3) Lots and lots and lots of quakes >=4.0 (let's say... at least 30).
4) At least one quake of at least 4.0 5.5 in Indiana.

There's also the question of how we define the 26th. I'd suggest using GMT/UTC, as the most universal. Sound good?

[Emperor Ing]

Does it matter? Almost everywhere it's the 26th now. :smalltongue:

[Asta Kask]

Very good. I support this.

[Lioness]

Well, Taiwan is near Australia, and Australia's Boobquake started earlier than America's. Thus, sometime soon, somewhere near America should have an Earthquake too.

Don't mind me. My brain died a while ago.

[Elder Tsofu]

Timing is everything!
The Australians start it of by sending of a tremor/force-wave through the earth which later on gets hit from the other direction by the US wave, and following the laws of resonance either amplify the wave or eliminates it.
If we could calculate the speed of said waves then we could center the effect on one spot and create an earthquake of a proportion unknown to man! :smalltongue:

I suggest Iceland for extra effect.

[Ichneumon]

I suggest Iceland for extra effect.

Haven't the people in Iceland suffered enough the past few year(s)?

[Elder Tsofu]

But think of the explosion!
Like pushing an enormous pimple, but with lava. :smallwink:

[SMEE]

So far, everything is quiet in Brazil.
There was a 4.9 quake on the northern part of Brazil yesterday night, but I consider this an unrelated event, as boobquake wasn't started here. :smallconfused:

[Boo]

And will they be bigger.

I don't mind if they're small.

[SMEE]

I don't mind if they're small.

Hot.

@Smee: If anything, they need more love.

[Deth Muncher]

Hot.


The puns, they burn me.

Much like lavapimples would, presumably.

[Serpentine]

Wouldn't work. Iceland's lavapimple's already been squeezed.

4) At least one quake of at least 4.0 in Indiana.
Speaking as a resident... That's not exactly inconceivable. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Madrid_Seismic_Zone)

[Amiel]

Apparently there was also a lot of tornadoes...

[paddyfool]

Speaking as a resident... That's not exactly inconceivable. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Madrid_Seismic_Zone)

Ah. I've changed it up a few notches to 5.5, which would make this the largest in over 100 years if it happened (and therefore, much the least likely of the four - I may have over-reacted).

EDIT: I'd based my previous 4.0 requirement on that being greater than anything in the previous 30 days, more or less like the rest of them.

[golentan]

Far too arbitrary. Clearly we simply need to compare the total force yield of today's earthquakes to those of days in the past week/month. If possible, we should also be statistically rigorous. That's right, Immodest dress day EVERY fortnight for the next 5 years!

[Deth Muncher]

My God. If we could keep the lechers at bay, this would be the best idea ever.

[Raiki]

My God. If we could keep the lechers at bay, this would be the best idea ever.

But, isn't being horribly lecherous at least a tertiary goal of this entire experiment? I know that it's for A) Gender Equality, B) Ignorance Intolerance, but C), for me at least, is "Getting to see some scantily clad womens". :smallwink:

~R~

[shadow_archmagi]

Yes, I can't help but notice that the Cleric's claims were that PROMISCUITY lead to earthquakes, and that immodest dress lead to promiscuity. So really, Cleavage Day is pointless. What we need is rampant sex day.

[Asta Kask]

I'm in favor of it, provided I get some say in who my partner(s) should be.

[Mando Knight]

We need a larger sample size to properly test the hypothesis. I recommend at least a month, then continue taking seismographic data for at least another two years, to see if the effects are immediate or not.

[Tirian]

Well, now all have gone and started a magnitude 6.5 earthquake near Taiwan. How does that make you feel?

[Kuma Da]

@Shadow: you've almost got the right idea. What the article was saying was that women dressing provocatively leads to promiscuity leads to men being un-chaste. Which causes earthquakes.

So, what we really should be testing is the power of the Promiscuous Manquake.

[The_Librarian]

Hmm, I think the hypothesis is still valid. If it holds true, then the effect of all us women dressing a little more provocatively today should have caused a rise in promiscuity, thus leading more men to being un-chaste, and causing earthquakes.

Anyway, we still all here? Still alive? No major earthquakes?

[golentan]

@Shadow: you've almost got the right idea. What the article was saying was that women dressing provocatively leads to promiscuity leads to men being un-chaste. Which causes earthquakes.

So... the playground is officially calling for as many promiscuous men as possible FOR SCIENCE?!

This is getting ridiculously oversexualized. I don't know if my anti-sexuality powers work over the Internet, but I should at least try.

You're making fools of yourselves because of something a Muslim cleric said. He's not even a real cleric, he's probably a commoner. You should all realize by now that nobody wants to see you expose yourself like this. You know, I'm feeling kind of sick. You're gonna make me throw up if you don't put a shirt on. If you want to express your... Sexuality in the comfort of your own home, go ahead. As long as I don't have to see or hear it, I don't care. But when you're in public, try wearing some real clothes. Or maybe put a tarp over yourself. Don't forget to wear clothes under the tarp too, though.

I must admit that we are just as fervently advocating a style of dressing as he is, so really, it's a pot-kettle scenario. And anyway, I think he's kidding.

In any case, Internet has proven a very bad medium for promoting chastity, so this development is hardly unexpected. I hope that none feel pressured into doing anything they aren't comfortable with.

Track the results here (http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/)!

Actually looks like there's fewer 5.0's today than yesterday or the day before. Unless there's a quick spate of them between now and midnight, it's a done deal.

Ladies, for the safety of the planet, I must ask you all to continue wearing revealing outfits. We now have scientific proof that it decreases the amount of earthquake activity. (At the very least, I would request a repeat of the experiment, to verify the results).

I, for one, enjoyed today's science very much. Any arguments claiming that either the humour was not appropriate or that daringly clad women (or men, if one swings that way!) are not a refreshing and perfectly healthy sight every once in a while, are not relevant to my interests.

In summary: good job, guys and girls. And science. Well-intentioned, amusing stunts never miss their mark.

Is there something inherently wrong with sex or sexuality? Why are you so afraid of breasts? Everyone has them. It's like being ashamed of showing ankles or ears.

[Forever Curious]

Must point this out: Dislike is not equal to fear.

Also, shame is something rooted in culture, and it's not a good thing to insult anyone's personal codes and beliefs.

Now, when someone claims that dress styles lead to catastrophic events...

[Deth Muncher]

Now, when someone claims that dress styles lead to catastrophic events...

Depends on your value of "catastrophe." My father once told me of a time when he was a teenager that he was staring at a lasciviously dressed female while at a stoplight and accidentally bumped into the car behind him because he let off the brake. The guy in front of him said it wasn't a problem since he was staring too, but the point is is that it COULD have been horrible. -shrug-

You have to admit that, in the grand scheme of things, an earthquake leveling a city is a much bigger catastrophe than a local car accident. Keep in mind that's going off of number of people killed/people touched by the event in some way.

It's my sister's birthday. She's 11. I request that any future Cleavage Days take place on a different day, for obvious reasons.

An old lady came through my line at work today. She asked me if I knew what day it was. And OH MY GOD I HAD A HARD TIME NOT BLURTING OUT "CLEAVAGE DAY!"

I can't even remember what day she said it was now, but I just thought I'd share.

[Jokasti]

that's an odd request, given your avatar's name... :) /duck

I literally laughed out loud at this. So bad. And to that one guy who's complaining- this is a forum. You aren't forced to read this thread or accept what it's about. You can skim right over it and not put down people.

[Thajocoth]

It rained around here, so I didn't see much cleavage. No quakes for NY I suppose...

Obviously this is a very mean-spirited thing to do, but I'm entitled to a certain degree of jackassery every now and again, aren't I?

No. No you're not. :smallamused:

- Get over it.
- There's a difference between "wearing a low-cut top and/or short skirt/shorts" and "going around topless". My choice to wear a bust-oriented top is a long way from "exposing" myself, and moreover is none of your damn business.
- To a large extent, sexualisation is the point of the exercise. To an even larger extent, sexualisation is beside the point of it. They're not mutually exclusive: the point of the experiment was that it was alleged that "immoral" (according to the standards of a hardline religious fundamentalist, mind you) dress increases sin which results in earthquakes, so sexualisation is intrinsic to the experiment. However, the reason for doing the experiment is to address and counter, through humour and ridicule, an absolutely absurd and potentially dangerous statement.
- Related to the above, I think that, at least in this thread, the men are doing more of the so-called "sexualisation" than the participating women.
- Tarp? Why not a hijab? Would that be "unsexual" enough for you?

Ugh. You feel sick...

[Kuma Da]

Whoah. Whoah.

*steps between serp and mega*

Mega, the whole point of the boobquake is about not being forced to dress modestly. Telling everyone to put concealing clothes on is a little like wandering into an NRA meeting and telling people guns are wrong. It's just a little too forceful for the audience you're trying to address.

Serp, cutting him down won't help.

I didn't participate. (Just found out about it...) So, obviously, I have no pictures.

It doesn't really matter, anyway, because all I did today was work on my car and help out my family. So, really, the only way anyone could have seen anything was if they're related to me (eew, no!) or if they like watching people fix up their car, with oil and grime all over me.

I hate to contradict Serp because she's absolutely right,
but there actually was a huge earthquake near Taiwan today (http://family.gather.com/viewArticle.action?articleId=281474978198210).

Er, yesterday.

On boob day.

[Krade]

That article is riddled with typos. I won't believe it until I see an article credible enough to be properly proof-read.:smalltongue:

[Serpentine]

Don't know what you're meant to be contradicting, there, but that's pretty meaningless. It was never thought that there would be no earthquakes at all - I'm not sure about the exact rate, but I wouldn't really be surprised if there are earthquakes happening near-constantly. ONE earthquake is meaningless; if there is a significant increase in the number and/or severity of earthquakes, then there is some evidence. But even that's quite meaningless, scientifically, unless we do repeated randomised tests over large periods of time (not necessarily "everyone goes scantily-dressed for a year", more like "everyone goes scantily dressed for a few days at a time, over a number of years").

And, as someone said above, apparently, that one severe earthquake aside, the number of quakes was lower than average. Which is a nice touch :smallbiggrin:

[Keld Denar]

I'm gonna have to agree with the guy on the radio I heard today. I think this is a bad idea. As much as I am a HUGE fan of boobies, they are rather distracting when put on obvious display. The risk to men in the workplace is already astoundingly high for sexual harrasement charges, real or misplaced. A misplaced glance, intentional or otherwise has a STUNNINGLY HIGH chance to earn you a reprimand if Chesty McBoobies decides to say one small thing to HR, and the annonymous reporting that every company I've ever worked for has makes it easy to sabatoge some poor guy who may not even have any idea whats going on.

There are a couple studies out about how men make generally poorer decisions while sexually aroused. Its pretty well documented. Why should we be held responsible when someone puts the goods in the window and we get a peak of them as we walk by? Surely blame can't be placed solely on the guy.

Seriously. I LOVE boobies. Still, its not fair.

[Superglucose]

If he was joking, then he was trolling *shrug* Perhaps I shouldn't have responded, but that doesn't make it particularly less despicable.
I agree with you for a slightly different reason I guess.

I see those comments as saying to a girl, "You're sexy and that's wrong." WTF kind of a contradictory message is that? You're not good enough if you're not sexy, but being sexy is wrong? So yeah, it's OK to want to be sexy (hell, I want to be sexy). It's NORMAL to want to be sexy. Go be sexy. Sexy is not wrong.

Serp, you are made from several different kinds of awesome. Three of which are newly discovered and two of which man was not meant to know.

It is a ting maded of win, SCIENCE! and cheezburgers. :smallbiggrin:

[Quincunx]

Oh most definitely. I was just giving an example of something on the lower bound of catastrophe caused by immodest dress. :P

I'm pretty sure that accident was caused by the guy's foot slipping off the brake. As funny as the 'he hasn't got enough blood in his body to power his legs at the same time. . .' joke is, it's a hyperbole joke, not making something real into something funny. (And if nobody's used that classic in relation to this incident before, shame on them all. :smalltongue:)

So! When are we scheduling Speedo Day?

[shadow_archmagi]

I'm in favor of it, provided I get some say in who my partner(s) should be.

The only rule is that it has to be very, very plural

[Asta Kask]

Isn't this a little like Orgasm Day?

[Mordokai]

Not exactly as niche an audience as you might think.... :smallwink:

Very much true...

[Cyrion]

Oh...umm...that was today?

It doesn't really matter, anyway, because all I did today was work on my car and help out my family. So, really, the only way anyone could have seen anything was if they're related to me (eew, no!) or if they like watching people fix up their car, with oil and grime all over me.




Dunno- Megan Fox seems to have made a career out of it.

So! When are we scheduling Speedo Day?

If it's going to happen, can I request, at least, it be in the summer? Some of us get cold :(

A few layers of flab will solve that

We'd have to change the tracked variable - it wouldn't be earthquakes, it'd be the number of crippling eye injuries reported at emergency rooms.

I know.

It's an odd numbered day, so I'm trying to spread suffering.

[Boo]

Sorry, that was last Sunday. I think you all missed it...


Isn't this a little like Orgasm Day?

I would say no. That day requires all it's participants to orgasm at a particular time. Cleavage day concerns only women, and it's political and scientific.

Huh. I'd only heard the one about not having enough blood flow for it an the brain at the same time. Leading to unconsciousness.
