Ladies, it's time to hike up those skirts. According to research from American academic John L. Casti, short skirts can be a predictor of a nation's economic and political prosperity. In his new book "Mood Matters: From Rising Skirt Lengths to the Collapse of World Powers," Casti reportedly claims that social features -- including rising hemlines and happy, upbeat songs on the radio -- can signal a nation's overall optimism as well as trigger positive outcomes in the financial and political arenas. "All social events ranging from trends in pop music and art to the outcome of elections and even the rise and fall of great civilizations are biased by the attitudes a society holds to the future," the author says. "When the 'social mood' is positive, events of an entirely different character tend to occur than when society is pessimistic. Most people think the outcome of elections causes the mood of the country to change. The opposite is true."
God damn. Is that a cell phone in that woman's hand, or a walkie talkie? Pic must be older than a muthafucka. You could take out a window with that damn brick.
