“Okay now, I want you to take your shirt off and jump up and down. Oh yeah, that’s nice-- maybe a little faster… Video camera? That’s just for, uh, scientific study later on. I’m studying bio- uh…_mechanics_, yeah! ‘Bio-mechanics,’ that’s it.”

Probably the only course where you’re hoping for a D.

Meh. The science of oversized bouncy breasts was already studied thoroughly and and at length by the game development team that wrote _Dead or Alive_ back in 2002. Of course, they weren’t too concerned with bras at the time…

Let’s not forget the vast market of video game breasts. Games like DoA: Extreme Beach Volleyball have taken boob-physics to a whole new level.
Edit: Salute to you, **Mindfield** 🙂

My first act as president will be to outlaw female exercise!

“The overall pattern of the movement resembled a figure-8.”
I realize that this is an important and helpful medical study, but lines like that tend to be, oh, a little bit _titiliating_.

My hands are supportive devices in their own rights.

Then, of course, there was the American release of an OVA called _Plastic Little_ which had a claim to fame of being the first (and possibly only) ADV release that had a “jiggle counter” counting all the animated bouncing.

:eek: It’s a wonder I don’t wear a sports bra all the time to keep the jubblies from moving too much.

I bet that researchers have attempted to study this a few times before.
However, the researchers were men and they either:
a. could not conduct the research without foaming at the mouth
b. could not see why jiggly wiggly breasteses were such a bad thing
and research was suspended.

I agree that this is a valuable medical study at its peak of importance, and didn’t mean to make light of this problem or offend anyone who is suffering from tit. Furthermore, I think we should nip all further jokes in the bud here. Rub them out right now-- gently if we must, although I suppose we could tweak, pinch or nibble them out as well. I would, however, like to be kept abreast of any further advances in the study, so if anyone has any updates, please boob me a boob and let me know boob boobs in the boobs.
Boobies.

:dubious: I don’t buy it, unless they’re talking about 48Ds. No way do mine weigh anywhere NEAR 25 or even 15 pounds. I’d think 8 - 10 pounds, tops.

I have a definitive solution to find an answer to that question. Don’t worry – you won’t have to lift a finger. I’ll even keep count of the jiggles. 🙂
