When I used to teach physics and maths as a PhD student the cheeky devils
kept imitating my gesticulations (amidst sniggers), the effect of
my demonstrations being enhanced by my rather large hands, long arms and
skinny arms. This renders me unsuitable as a Barbie, however Ken might do.
But Ken can't bend his arms.
