It was just another typical night in the Geeding household, me reading the Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology after dinner, smoking a pipe in my smoking jacket as WifeGeeding fixes me another martini, when I ran across this article.

Attractiveness of Leg Length: Report From 27 Nations

The leg-to-body ratio (LBR) is a morphological index that has been shown to influence a person’s attractiveness. In our research, 3,103 participants from 27 nations rated the physical attractiveness of seven male and seven female silhouettes varying in LBR. We found that male and female silhouettes with short and excessively long legs were perceived as less attractive across all nations. Hence, the LBR may significantly influence perceptions of physical attractiveness across nations.

Those Hyundai Singers

I’m tired of Christmas commercials like all get out, but I do appreciate the singing that goes on in this Hyundai commercial.

It turns out this group is named Pomplamoose and they have a YouTube channel with plenty of songs.  Here are some covers they have made with their own unique twist:

Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It) – Beyonce

Mister Sandman – The Chordettes

Telephone – Lady Gaga

Sidenote:
I really like the Sonatas and know Hyundais have come a long way since those not so great cars they made when I was a kid and a teen, but it’s hard for me to shake that mindset I have for them.
