Curvier Means Smarter

Hip To Waist Ratio Study

Beckham married Victoria for her smarts apparently. Since she has a 23 inch waist and obvious nice hips, she must be smart too. Women who have a big difference between waist and hips are more likely to be smarter than skinny minnies. 16,000 women and girls who were more curvey, did better on tests - and so did their kids. The researchers say it has something to do with fatty acids in the lower half.
