A pin-up calendar based around engineers? How can we lose?

"Called "The Girls of Engineering 2007," it includes racy photos of actual Illinois engineering students. But despite nine months of work and 3,000 copies made, only 300 have been sold since the calendar went on sale last October."

I have to wonder what makes these girls unattractive enough to consumers that they can't move a perennial favorite of the calendar genre. It might have something to do with their extreme awkwardness. Yes, guess what, the pictures on the Web site are much what you'd expect from engineer porn, minus the Star Trek uniforms and king-sized bottles of Mountain Dew.
