Has anyone every read "Uncle John's Bathroom Reader"? There are about 20 of them in the series... I have them all. I read them... well, in every OTHER room of the house... they contain tons of this kind of information. My mom wishes she'd saved my college tuition because I actually learned more from these books. :) I quote them often... saddly... I sound like Cliff Claven...

A psychological study in 1995 found that three minutes spent looking at a fashion magazine caused 70% of women to feel depressed, guilty, and shameful.

Models twenty years ago weighed 8% less than the average woman.

Today they weigh 23% less.
