Synclastic Elastic

The boys who program computer graphics draw women's breasts as perfect spheres. I believe they do this because a sphere is much easier to define mathematically than any real breast. Curiously, their laziness has led to another case of life imitating art (or at least video games). It seems that spherical breasts have become an adolescent ideal. Brassiere manufacturers are proud to advertise their prowess with elastic.
