Artist Wins £20,000 Grant To Study Women's Butts
Sue Williams has been awarded a £20,000 grant by the Arts Council of Wales, to "explore cultural attitudes towards female buttocks." Sue plans to examine racial attitudes towards bottoms in Europe and Africa and create plaster casts of women's behinds to try to understand their place in contemporary culture. And here I've been studying the issue all these years for free like a sucker!
At least call them arses. You say butt over here and you'll just get laughed at (fanny will get you an altogether different response)
If God forks the Universe every time you roll a die, he'd better have a damned good memory.
As of June 29, 1GBP = 1.67USD which makes it 33,400 USD. For those who missed that pound sign and keep referring to the amount as 20K dollars.
The British, by the way, imagine Japanese to be a language full of double meanings and potential minefields.

Never heard of a boy named Sue? I tell ya, life ain't easy for a boy named "Sue."
For those non-British residents amongst you, "The Sun" is an utter rag of a newspaper that uses any excuse to print parts of the female anatomy for the sake of an article - Page 3 of the paper daily has a topless model.
I'm a lover of the female anatomy as much as any other red-blooded male, but ignore anything published in it or anything else owned by Rupert Murdoch.
I would not even wipe my backside on it following a visit to the toilet, just in case I caught something from it.

I don't know, but I've been told: it's big-legged women who are soulless.
Dewey, what part of this looks like authorities should be involved?
Remember when Columbus set sail? He knew, setting out, that he could reach India if he sailed west. He just didn't realise there was another continent in the way.
For one, that was fairly late, past the dark ages. Two, there was still a vocal minority (end of the 15th century!) that claimed he'd fall off the edge. Lately, the division of the world between Spain and Portugal that was made by the pope only works on the assumption of a flat earth, if you care to check it out. On a spherical world, you need two border lines, not one.
Nobody (in the Christian west, at least) ever believed women have no souls. We're talking about a time when people practically worshipped the Virgin Mary. She was a woman, remember?
Yes, as the vessel of the birth, not as herself. You can do the research yourself, I assure you the topic was under hot discussion by the so-called "intelligentia" of the time (aka priests).
Nobody but children ever believed that heaven was just above the clouds.
Weird, we have a lot of pictures that speak a different language, and art history experts say they weren't meant metaphorical in the sense we understand today.
