Women with bigger breasts found to be smarter
Compiled by WINNIE YEOH, NURBAITI HAMDAN AND A.RAMAN
A STUDY conducted in the United States showed that women with big breasts are not necessarily less intelligent than those who are less endowed.
Quoting a Singapore newspaper article, Sin Chew Daily said women with bigger breasts were found to be smarter instead.
It said the study was conducted in Chicago to find out whether the size of a woman’s bust affected her brain power.
The study, involving 1,200 women, was conducted by a female researcher. The subjects were divided into five groups, from extra small to extra big.
The report said it was possible such women were smarter due to the higher level of female hormones that could result in better development in the brain.
The daily also reported that a youth almost missed his honeymoon after being caught gambling illegally in a shophouse in Kuching on Monday.
The youth was supposed to board a flight to Japan with his wife the next day and risked losing about RM20,000 in travel fares.
He was among 10 individuals who were caught in a police operation.
However, the youth’s wife pleaded with the counsel who appealed in court. The youth was released on police bond. He has to report immediately to the court upon returning to the country on Nov 18.
