Apparently, this picture was used in a scientific experiment by academic trick cyclists* to find out some fundamental rules of human behavior.
When male/female couples were exposed to this picture:
49% of females wondered "[i]who let this woman out of the house dressed like that[/i]" and 49% wondered "[i]where can I buy that cute blouse/corset combo[/i]" and 2% locked themselves in the bedroom with thongs and Lycra.
Less than 1% of males noted the dog driving the taxi. In follow-up studies, 100% of those observant males reported deep satisfaction on the evening following testing. The fate of the 99%-plus male group is unknown, with a likely bad outcome.
