: I'd like you to scientifically prove that you have an ass.

The scientific method has four steps
1. Observation and description of a phenomenon or group of phenomena.
The ass has been observed by myself and others, although not by quite as large a group as the viewer's of Eli's ass.
2. Formulation of an hypothesis to explain the phenomena. In physics, the hypothesis often takes the form of a causal mechanism or a mathematical relation.
Hypothesis: when humans eat food, fat is collected between their back and their legs on the rear side, forming an ass.
3. Use of the hypothesis to predict the existence of other phenomena, or to predict quantitatively the results of new observations.
I predict most humans have asses, and that the more food that is consumed on a daily basis, the larger the ass will be.
4. Performance of experimental tests of the predictions by several independent experimenters and properly performed experiments.
My observations of humans at McDonald's confirms this hypothesis.
