Perfectly Spaced Nipples Required In Chinese College Beauty Contest

Most college students learn about the golden ratio, a mathematical proportion considered aesthetically pleasing by designers, artists and architects. But one Chinese beauty contest has caused outrage for dictating that its college student contestants have specific body proportions, down to the placement of their nipples.

The contest, held by the website Campus Model, is searching for the "ten most beautiful college students" in Hubei Province, according to Gawker. Its rules outline stringent requirements for applicants, including standards for hips, waist and bust measurements. It even states the desired distance between a contestant's pupils.

Derided by critics as "humiliating, disrespectful and ridiculous," the contest's most controversial requirement is that applicants prove that their nipples are no more than 20 centimeters apart, according to Global Times. The prize for winning is about $1,600.

Making a Hiking Staff from an Ash Sapling

If you’ve been hanging around WOC for a while, you’ll know that one of my hobbies is making hiking sticks (“staves” to be proper, I guess). I make them from several tree species: maple, oak, hickory, white cedar, white pine, alder, aspen, and ash. Ash and hickory are favorites to make out of freshly cut saplings, in part because in the spring it’s a breeze to strip the bark from them—which is really just for aesthetics, not for any structural purpose. In fact, leaving the bark on makes them a bit stronger. Yet ash and hickory are still tough, stripped or not.
