Sex, Burger, and Booze


Got a fast food craving? This news might sober you up (in case you were thinking about making a trip through the drive through)...
Yes, a splurge now and then is totally cool, but in general, stay away from the drive through, at least, that's the message from researchers at the University of Toronto. Fat and calories and chemicals aside, they found that the grease-proof paper wrappings used for fast food (oh, and also microwave popcorn) may be loaded with perfluoroalkyls, which are synthetic chemicals created to help repel oil, grease and water. And, yes, when you eat fast food, you're likely to eat these chemicals too.

Raise The Debt Ceiling: The United States Has Maxed Out Its Credit Card

Highest Paid Pornstars

1. Jenna Jameson

This one’s a no-brainer. Jenna, billed as the world’s most famous pornstar, is a multi-millionaire. She’s retired from performing, so you can forget about the fees she gets per scene. Not that she still needs to do them anyway. ClubJenna, the porn company she founded with her ex-husband Jay Grdina, had estimated revenues of $30 million, with profits of approximately half that, in 2005. Playboy has since acquired the company she founded for an undisclosed sum, which I can only guess would be a rather neat sum.


2. Tera Patrick

“When I got into the industry, I made millions for everyone else. Now I make them for myself”, says Tera Patrick. And that wasn’t an empty boast. Far from it. This former nurse is president, owner and lead star of Teravision, a $30 million-plus company that produces 15 porn titles every year, selling more than 30,000 copies each. Sure beats having to change patients’ bedpans for a job.

Two Headed Albino Snake in Ukraine

Not that one is to believe that two heads are better than one especially when it comes to snakes!  Zookeepers in the Ukraine's Skazka Zoo have experienced a doubling of visitors since this two-headed albino snake arrived on loan from Germany. Each head is able to act and think on its own.  Zookeeper Rusian Yakovenko stated that sometimes the two heads will fight for food, not realizing that it has the same destination. They'll even steal food from each other, making feedings interesting, to say the least. Workers state that the three-year-old two foot long snake is quite a handful. The private zoo is in the resort of Yalta on the Black Sea. Culled from Neatorama.com

13 Hilarious Misspelt Signs






Fake Apple Stores in China


(Reuters) - Customers at an apparent Apple Store in the Chinese city of Kunming berated staff and demanded refunds on Friday after the shop was revealed to be an elaborate fake, sparking a media and Internet frenzy.

Long a target of counterfeiters and unauthorized resellers, Apple Inc was alerted to the near flawless fake shop by an American blogger living in the southwestern city, more than 1,000 miles from the nearest genuine Apple stores in Beijing and Shanghai.

"When I heard the news I rushed here immediately to get the receipt, I am so upset," a customer surnamed Wang told Reuters, near tears. "With a store this big, it looks so believable who would have thought it was fake?"

A new BlackBerry to be unveiled tomorrow, or so Facebook would have us believe

What's made by Research in Motion and is "shiny, new, and social all over?" No one can say for sure, but according to BlackBerry's Facebook page, we're going to find out tomorrow. Might it be the Torch 2 come calling, newly acquired FCC badges in tow? Perhaps Waterloo's hinting at the Bold Touch, its phone of many flavors. Or, maybe it's something yet unseen that will blind all who perceive it with a corona of social networking awesomeness. Whatever BlackBerry's got in store for us, let's hope it's not just another phone with a Facebook button. Culled from Endgadget

Federal ban on gay men's blood donation needs to be reconsidered


A Chicago-area man says he was rejected as a donor from a blood bank because he looked gay, an act that highlighted a nearly 30-year-old federal ban on donation centers taking blood from gay men. The Chicago Sun-Times reported that Aaron Pace - described as "straight" but "noticeably effeminate" - was rejected at Bio-Blood Components Inc. in Gary, Indiana.
"I was humiliated and embarrassed," Pace, 22, told the newspaper. "It's not right that homeless people can give blood but homosexuals can't. And I'm not even a homosexual." Culled from Seattlepi (online)

5 Strongest Alcoholic Drinks in the World


1. Everclear


As anyone who has ever imbibed Everclear will tell you, there is no wonder it made the top of the list. Available in potency up to 95% alcohol by volume (190 proof), this stuff is banned from sale in 13 states in the U.S. However, in those states you can buy the weaker, 151 proof variety. Short of home-distilled sour-mash moonshine, you don’t legally get much stronger than Everclear. The best part? Everclear is flavorless, like good vodka is supposed to be. It is odorless as well, so it can basically be added to any drink or cocktail to give it one hell of a kick in the ass.

Anorgasmia = Women Love Sex More Than Men But Then It's Harder For Women To Cum Than Men


The female orgasm is a curious thing. Unlike the male orgasm, she doesn’t always arrive when called. But if she never gets there, well, then you’re dealing with a whole new ball of wax. Anorgasmia, it’s called. It’s defined as the inability to have an orgasm. The problem is that generally doesn’t mean the body is incapable of doing it. It just means it isn’t doing it.

Women Love Sex More Than Men


The key to a long, happy relationship? Surprisingly, cuddling and caressing is more important to men than for women, according to a study published this week in the Archives of Sexual Behavior.
Researchers at the Kinsey Institute at Indiana University in Bloomington surveyed 1,009 middle-aged and older couples from the U.S., Brazil, Germany, Japan, and Spain, who were together an average 25 years. The asked how many times during the past 4 weeks they engaged in sexual activity with their partner, how often they kissed, cuddled, and caressed, and their degree of happiness in their relationships and sex lives.
Men were most likely to be in a happy relationship if they kissed and cuddled a lot, and if their partner experienced orgasm. Men also said they were happier, and were more satisfied with their sex lives, the longer they had been together. Women who had been with their partner for more than 15 years also reported greater sexual satisfaction—though, paradoxically, those who had been in a relationship for 20 years or more were less happy with it. In both genders, sexual satisfaction was also associated with intimacy, frequent sex, and higher sexual functioning. Culled from Consumer Reports (online)

Should We Tell Little Girls They’re Pretty?


Telling a little girl she's pretty seems like a harmless compliment. But this usually innocent observation can have long-term effects on a girl's relationship to her looks — should we refrain from making it at all? That's the question Lisa Bloom, who previously alleged that talking about celebrities makes us stupid, poses in the Huffington Post. She writes about resisting her impulse to tell a friend's five-year-old daughter, "Maya, you're so cute! Look at you! Turn around and model that pretty ruffled gown, you gorgeous thing!" She stopped herself, she says, because, Teaching girls that their appearance is the first thing you notice tells them that looks are more important than anything.
