Like many women, I used to have hips that measured slightly larger than my bust. Now my ass is disappearing as my rack carries on. Is this just aging at work, or is this typical of weight loss? [more inside]

I may be in the market for a bike in the next few years. I'm 19 and 4'8" and I do not want some cupcake little girl's bike from Target (which is basically what my last one was way back in 8th grade). What specs should I be looking for in women's bikes to accomodate me? [more inside]

Can you name something that is typically 1,000 square feet? I would like to say that something is 1,000 square feet, as big as a "blah blah blah," just for visualization purposes. [more inside]

I'd like to make this (links to a YouTube anime clip including a recipe for making bread in a rice cooker). Unfortunately, all the measurements are listed in grams. How can I convert from grams to more conventional North American measurements? [more inside]

I recently watched a home movie of this girlie being all naked and stuff but i was utterly perplexed by the number "36" written in large letters across her ass. I assumed it was just some personal kinky/weirdness till i happened upon a vintage BDSM photo of a young girl with 36 'spanked' onto her ass. Can any one explain the significance of '36'?
