Breast Week Introduction

What has Kevin done now?
Yes, believe it or not a brain storm slammed into the coast line of our
beloved Tech Section Managers skull. Why? Always finding creative and
new technologies to write about is the never-ending task Kevin works the
hardest on. While contemplating new tennis shoe technologies (Nike has
some wild stuff!), Kevin branched off into new technologies for other
pieces of clothing. This brought to mind the bra.
Perhaps the most mysterious piece of female clothing, and the most
difficult for any guy to remove (where does this hook go?), the bra has
gone through several different technological changes in recent years.
From the classical full coverage from days of yore, to the modern aids for
less endowed women (padded, pushup, adjustable pushup, gel padded), to D-cup
Donna's all-time favorite "Minimizer", the bra comes in so many
different constructions it's no wonder guys painfully hand over his credit
card and tells his beloved "buy what makes you happy."
Not only are there gazillions of different bras for breasts, but there
are different medical procedures made possible by modern technology, to
enhance or reduce the size of a woman's chest. There are even procedures
and technologies available to restore those who have endured a radical
mastectomy. For our staff's comfort, we didn't send any of our female
staff to get mamograms, but this too is a lifesaving technology aimed
solely at the female breast.
With so much technology and money centered around one body part, how could
we resist? So come one, come all, and welcome to "Breast Week" at Whim
Tech.

Shana, you wrote, "The only problem is women look a little silly if one day they wear a tank top with no bra and then the next day sport a major padded bra."
I would contend that 99% of the campus' male population would: A) Not notice at all
B) Continue to stare at chests
C) Not care at all even if told
See, women are their own worst enemy. Guys don't care about this sort of thing. Well, the petty ones might, but I can't think of any who critique women's apparel nearly as harshly or attentive as a woman does.

I miss the days before RU got organized and locked down machines. It was so nice being able to print color documents in the lab from my dorm to save on paper. Also nice was the print spooler, which could override any idiot's 52-page printout of some dumb website they'd never refer to. Just boost your priority and you're done first. Ahh... It pays to know up from down in the computer world.
