But, [no pun intended] you miss the scientific application of body art, specifically in the field of earthquake dynamics.
After the 1985 Mexico City devistation, scientists around the world hired the services of eastern belly dancers and had their expansive backsides
tattooed with the skyline of the shattered city, in some cases, isolating the more devastated areas. The investigators would sit in their seats
while the dancers would shake and gyrate the panorama of a quakeing city in their faces, as they tried to understand the dynamics of wiggeling
buildings. They, of course, wanted to develop construction methods which would prevent future disaster such as they had seen.
This is an ongoing study and we must say, it has had it's rewards. We have never seen another 1985 since the study began.
Science is a wonderful thing. |
