If you've ever been in an American clothing stores, staring at the pants sizes, wondering WHY GOD WHY ARE THEY ALL THE SAME SIZE YET ALL DIFFERENT - turns out it was the Department of Agriculture's fault

Here's Why Clothing Sizes are the way they are

*sigh* I wish they could just go to actual inches, save everyone the hassle and humiliation of trying on 5 different pairs of the same pants to figure out a companies sizing for that season in that fabric on that day.

Oh man, this is fascinating!!! And makes both more sense, and less, at the same time. This is like when I found out all celebrity clothing is tailored and that's why they always look good. (And other reasons, but still.)
