This actress Mona Gillen may be one of the most perfect women in the world. If you take the following video at face value and disregard the comedic element: perfect.
If you look at it as a comedy/parody, the fact that she would have this sense of humor and accessibility (...watch for the shotgun): perfect. Basically, I don't know how you look at this girl and think anything besides fantastic. Before you watch the video, try to answer this LSAT question.

FYI, all LSAT questions are based on fact.
In a recent study, a group of subjects had their normal daily caloric intake increased by 25 percent. This increase was entirely in the form of alcohol. Another group of similar subjects had alcohol replace nonalcoholic sources of 25 percent of their normal daily caloric intake. All subjects gained body fat over the course of the study, and the amount of body fat gained was the same for both groups.
Which one of the following is most strongly supported by the information above?
A) Alcohol is metabolized more quickly by the body than are other foods or drinks.
B) In the general population, alcohol is the primary cause of gains in body fat.
C) An increased amount of body fat does not necessarily imply a weight gain.
D) Body fat gain is not dependent solely on the number of calories one consumes.
E) The proportion of calories from alcohol in a diet is more significant for body fat gain than are the total calories from alcohol

Answer after the video---
Answer:
Make a generalization that is based on the facts:
Group 1 got 25% more calories, in the form of alcohol. Group 2 got the same number of calories as before, but 25% of the calories were from alcohol replacing other sources. All test subjects gained fat. Therefore.... the extra calories made no difference to the fat gain, but the sources of the calories did.
A. The argument did not discuss this aspect. We don't know how quick or slow the metabolizing process is.
B. This was a limited experiment. We don't know for sure what would hold true for the general population.
C. This is netural information about weight gain.
D. *This choice is correct* A gain of body fat is not dependent solely on the number of calories consumed (after all, group 1 consumed 25% more than group 2). Instead, the source of the calories is more important.
E. This choice looks interesting, but it is wrong. Group 1 got 20% (if you do the math) of its total calories from alcohol, while group 2 got 25% of its calories from alcohol, yet the both gained the same amount of body fat. They both got the same number of calories from alcohol.
PSS- 25% of a 2000 calorie diet is about 5 beers per day... without any weight gain.
Moral of this story>>>?
The moral is actually two-fold. If you saw the answer immediately, you are well suited for the LSAT and should take it. Do not fret if you got it wrong, you can drink 5 beers today (and everyday for that matter) and there's a chance you may not gain any weight as a result!!!
Either way--- drink up its Friday!
