Not sure if this one really tickles our fancy or if it just made us wonder what kind of bizarre combination of education and priorities could compel a working scientist to come up with such a thing, but there is now a scientific way to measure the physical attractiveness of our favorite celebrities.
Dr. Kendra Schmid, assistant professor of biostatistics at the University of Nebraska Medical Center, has devised a formula that measures 29 points on the face, measuring everything from fullness of the lips to the space between the eyes and even nose length. The final score is on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being perfect.
Per the Schmid beauty formula, Lena Dunham is more beautiful than Scarlett Johansson, Taylor Swift, and even Jennifer Lopez. Wrap your heads around that one.
Check the link to see who is regarded as Scientifically Beautiful and who is not (ahem, ahem Steve Buscemi). And just FYI, the average person ranks a respectable 4 on the scale, while the average celebrity is rarely lower than a 6.
