Who Knows?

[eartotheground]

This is another example of pseudoscientific cr@p that gets research funding. It would be funny except that tax dollars are wasted. I'm sure you could find dozens of similar "research projects" in the us.

I am an ENT surgeon and I am unaware of any diseases that can be diagnosed by nose size. Maybe someone can enlighten me.

I don't know about it's dimensions but, considering their fawning support for middle-east dictatorships I'm betting it was brown in color.

The researchers say the data only works for those of European descent.

Damn right!

[bannie]

...the data only works for those of European descent.

oh, damn...we're in trouble now!

Who Knows?

The nose knows!

Which brings up another point (excuse the pun) if nose size, in some way, is an indicator of health then judging by the size and color of Clinton's nose ... he must be one sick SOB. Then again, I guess we knew that ...

[Gumlegs]

Now that the scientists have discovered the "ideal" size, will the bureaucrats make it mandatory?

[TADSLOS]

The ideal European:

[Grut]

I read the news today oh boy
Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire
And though the holes are rather small
They had to count them all
Now they know how many holes
It takes to fill the Albert Hall
I'd love to turn...you...on...

Thirty years ago, John Lennon knew all there was to know about the European intelligentsia.

The aim of the research, reported in the American Journal of Medical Genetics, is to help doctors diagnose particular syndromes where nose size can be an early symptom of disease...

Such as the disease of not being Swiss enough.

Early research seems to indicate that the greatest incidence of hypernasia are to be found among the populations of southern and eastern Europe, whereas hyponasia is common in Ireland.

The aim of the research, reported in the American Journal of Medical Genetics, is to help doctors diagnose particular syndromes where nose size can be an early symptom of disease.

When these standards are applied to Billy Jeff Clinton, it's probably a symptom of drug abuse!
