Marilyn's 12 was in the 1950s. It's closer to an 8 today.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
On the Marilyn Monroe sizing: [link]
She would probably fluctuate between a six and an eight today; can't go any lower with that bust.

An 8 is still considered large in modeling and movies. Look at the women on Desperate Housewives. How many of them are an 8? I'd be surprised if any of them were larger than a 4.

Darn. It sounded good, but as a librarian, I should have known to check.
Again, I say sigh.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Just looking at Marilyn, you can see she's bigger than most actresses today and still smaller than most women.

OK, polls have been closed for 20 minutes (City and Montgomery County got an hour extensions because of the fuckups- Can you say DEBACLE?) I want some early reports, damnit. I really really really want Schaefer to go down. This is hilarious, in that the past 2 presidential elections? I went to bed ignoring the results, figuring morning was soon enough.

Yeah, she has boobs and thighs that touch, and looks great.
How come every time I've flicked past Big Brother the first thought in my head is, "What the fuck is Julie Chen wearing?"

Um, because I've wondered the same thing every time I've seen BB?

There's a picture of Marilyn in my company gym that I love. She's laying back on a bench in jeans and a swimsuit bra top doing presses with dumbbells. She shows serious ribs in that picture. She may not have been a Callista Flockhart, but she was in pretty good shape for whatever size she actually was.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
ATHENS (Reuters) - A Greek bank robber armed with ninja throwing stars finally ran out of moves on Tuesday when police arrested him after an Athens bank robbery.
Petros Onen, 49, had held up 11 small suburban bank branches making away with 50,000 euros ($63,590) in recent months, threatening to throw his razor-sharp, palm-size stars -- made famous by the Japanese ninja warriors -- at cashiers, police said.
His luck ran out when undercover policemen at the last bank he robbed followed him home and arrested him with his loot, his throwing stars, a fake gun and a list of other bank branches.
