its actually defined to be between 18 and 23 degrees celcius
ie the temperature of a normally habitable room

so what realityhack should have said is

"It's not exactly dry at the temperature of a normally habitable room and atmospheric pressure though is it"

[Spacecadet]

Room temperature is whatever the temperature of a room is.

It's not exactly dry at room temperature and atmospheric pressure though is it?

Room temperature is whatever the temperature of a room is.

This thread might keep me amused all day.

Ah diddums, Troll is feeling a little inadequate again. Don't wory Troll, you have a lot to be modest about.

Reads further...

"They asked volunteers to rate attractiveness of images with leg lengths that varied 5, 10 and 15 per cent from the Polish national norm.

"the viewers preferred legs that were 5 per cent longer than average Next best were normal-length legs, or ones that were 10 per cent longer"

So, very slightly longer is very good, normal is good, quite long is not good and very long is very bad.

Effectively, the complete opposite of the headline which should have read:

"People don't like freaks"

Bloody journalists.

[BrilloPad]

But they have to be exactly 5% longer? 10% is uns*xy?

[BrowneIssue]

"However, Boguslaw Pawlowski and Piotr Sorokowski at the University of Wroclaw in Poland wanted to investigate whether relative leg lengths affected such perceptions."

"Boguslaw Paw lowski" ?

Fake Grope Low ?

Hmm.
