Fatal Fury

Is the ending of the first Fatal Fury game considered to be canon? If it's not canon, why it says "August 13th, 1992, Geese Howard dies in the hospital 3 hours after falling from a high rise. The prologue of the newborn legend..."? David Pro (talk) 14:10, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

Even though the ending of the first Fatal Fury game states that Geese died during the fall, Geese does appear in the revised version of Fatal Fury 2, Fatal Fury Special, where it is revealed that he survived his fall at the end of the first game. The final appearance of Geese in the Fatal Fury storyline was in Real Bout Fatal Fury, as the game's ending with Terry Bogard or Andy Bogard depicts the character's demise at the hands of either brother by falling off the roof of his tower. 200.50.33.140 (talk) 14:36, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

Porn actress Audrey Bitoni - fake breasts

I am almost certain her breasts are fake... why? It just makes me want to facepalm. If she naturally has small breasts then she should just go with that instead of looking fake. So does she have implants or not? I'm guessing yet, but... I need you to let me know--Noppalsch (talk) 14:22, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

• "I need you to let me know" - Why?! Why would anyone need to know this, other than her flight insurance company?! Gazhiley (talk) 23:57, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

Presumably he has a strong interest in the matter. Sure, it's kinda stupid, but, well, most areas of enthusiasm are kinda stupid. That said, well... I admit that I think the question of "why would she have fake breasts" is a little stupid. Why does anyone get breast enlargement surgery? Self-esteem issues, increased earning potential, because it's what a lot of guys like, because she just likes big breasts... It's impossible to know exactly why without an actual statement from her, of course but you can pretty much guess the category.

In any case, two minutes with Google's image search tells me that yeah, those are implants. In general, when someone has breasts that look like firm balloons, they came from a plastic surgeon, but more spefically, there are telltale scars. (In that image, the breast mostly hidden under the hair clearly has received a lot less Photoshop attention than the other one, and thus the scar is very visible.) -- Captain Disdain (talk) 03:14, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

"because it's what a lot of guys like"{{fact}} Is there actually any evidence to support that? My anecdotal evidence would suggest otherwise. --Tango (talk) 12:24, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

What, big tits? Uh, seriously, I'm not even going to hunt up a reference for this, any more than I would for "apple pie is a popular pie" or "farts smell bad"...

...or, wait, do you mean breast implants, rather than big breasts? (For the record, I meant the latter, not specifically the former.) A lot of guys don't like breast implants, that's true -- I'm not a fan of the classic plastic porn humanoid look myself -- but there is a world of difference between, oh, reasonably and tastefully enlarged breasts that look reasonably or even completely natural, and the kind of ridiculous balloons Bitoni sports. Furthermore, the success and enduring popularity of people like Jenna Jameson, Carmen Electra or Pamela Anderson, to name a few, would indicate to me that if the breasts are big, that's indeed enough for a lot of guys. (Note that I'm not even saying "most guys" -- if you want to succeed as a sex symbol, you certainly don't need to appeal to most guys. Appealing to a lot of them will do just fine.) -- Captain Disdain (talk) 17:43, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

I mean natural or otherwise. In my opinion, and I don't think I'm alone in this, breasts being in proportion to the rest of the body is far more important than their absolute size. --Tango (talk) 17:46, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

Oh, I wouldn't dream of claiming that you're alone. But there's no single ideal body type out there, and... ehh. No. I'm not even going to go into that. I mean, do you honestly need a source to tell you that a lot of guys really, really like big breasts? Because I really would've thought that was kind of obvious. -- Captain Disdain (talk) 18:09, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

In Breast and chest size: Ideals and stereotypes through the 1990s, Stacey Tantleff-Dunn reports:

"Previous findings suggest that women tend to perceive their breasts as smaller than their ideal breast size and a great deal smaller than the size they perceive as preferred by men (Thompson & Tantleff, 1992). Although men do prefer a relatively large breast size that is larger than women's ideal (Singh & Young, 1995; Thompson & Tantleff, 1992), women overestimate the breast size preferred by men (Thompson & Tantleff, 1992). Women are accurate, however, in their prediction of men's preference for a figure consisting of large breasts with a small waist and narrow hips (Furnham et al., 1990; Singh & Young, 1995). Although this shape is idealized, men's preference for a larger breast size appears to be independent of waist and hip size, thus validating the notion that men selectively attend to this body site (Furnham et al., 1990)." [1]

Might help answer the original question and Tango's. ---Sluzzelin talk 11:51, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

Doesn't this question and the subsequent discussion violate WP:BLP? Who then was a gentleman? (talk) 20:14, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

Which episode?

I remember watching an episode of Criss Angel's Mindfreak in which he met up with a family who just got out of or into their car on dark parking lot. He took two of the kids aside to act as the audience, let the others close their eyes and floated the girl in front of them. The scene ended with the audience kids trying to convince the parents of what happened. The girl felt something but didn't believe she floated. Does anyone know what episode this effect came from? Does anyone know of a website that conveniently lists all the tricks from each episode for easy reference so I don't have to go through all the episodes to find the one trick? - 87.211.75.45 (talk) 16:33, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

I remember that episode but do not recall the title. You can try searching A&E's Criss Angel episode guide here : [2] or his official website here : [3]. Both sites offer videos. cheers, 10draftsdeep (talk) 13:43, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
