Artist Wins £20,000 Grant To Study Women's Butts

Posted by samzenpus on from the been-doing-a-lot-of-extra-credit-lately dept.

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!

    My theory

    Wrong. You have no theory, not going by the scientific definition. Your statements are a hypothesis, or hypotheses. That means it's not really been tested enough, it basically has as much scientific weight as a personal opinion. A theory means that it's been tested, it's a higher standard.
