Curvier women are cleverer than waifs - and have more intelligent offspring. Hurrah!!

[moonstruck]

A new report from the US was published today, claiming that woman with the traditonal hour glass figure are brighter and have higher achieving offspring. Any thoughts?

here is the link

That explains it.

damn - so what happened to me then?? And why have all of my junior choir members - who are all as thin as rakes - just gone off to University leaving behind them a trail of A's at A Level???????

perhaps all the curvy women they researched had Breastfed their babies......thus creating the intelligence

Oh bollocks - every thread I'm clicking on today is making me depressed! My waist and hips are about the same size. Not only do I look like a boy I am also stupid.

ahh, so it is okay that I had large hips (and always have done) as it helps my child and future children!

i dont know about my offspring but i have always done ok and i look like a boy naked

I always knew it was cleverer to eat that lovely chocolate eclair than to leave it on the plate. (licks chocolate off lips)

Don't worry- there will probably be a report next week claiming children of waifs earn more or something IWGOT. Sadly, it seems not all mothers can be winners at the same time. Divide and rule eh?
I just liked this story because as a curvy, slighty overweight mother it seemed like the first positive thing I had read in my favour for a while!
Of course, even before this report I knew my children were special[wink}

B***ks

Sorry about the triple posting. I really am intelligent I am! I am! {blush}

Well, I would have thought that was obvious.

Why else I have been carrying around too much weight all these years - there had to have been a reason!

I've gone from a 16 to a 12 in the last few years. Have I got more stupid then?

On second thoughts I know the answer to that but I had put it down to child-induced exhaustion ...

Clearly an inspired an brilliant piece of groundbreaking research of vast international importance. Oh yes.

genius creates genius

thought the lard was there for something

Cheese or chocolate? I have a more savoury weakness myself
