The Two-Piece Puzzle
CNN reports on some groundbreaking science:

New research shows that, in men, the brain areas associated with handling tools and the intention to perform actions light up when viewing images of women in bikinis.
The research was presented this week by Susan Fiske, professor of psychology at Princeton University, at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
"This is just the first study which was focused on the idea that men of a certain age view sex as a highly desirable goal, and if you present them with a provocative woman, then that will tend to prime goal-related responses," she told CNN.
To sum up, men are beasts. (Note: The preceding generalization should not be construed as applying to the authors of the stimulus bill.) Now all we need is a study to find out why women wear bikinis.
