Hmmm...interesting question. Well, women tend to have smaller feet, so what
do they tend to have more of than males? (I'm assuming you're at a coed
school.) Several possibilities come to mind (many of which you wouldn't want
to broach)--but how about hair length? Assuming this relationship is
actually negative, it has the added advantage of leading to discussion of
the correlation/causation issue.
