The good ones are always in demand and usually underappreciated for what they do for their guests.

Ugly Babies and the Parents Who Love Them…or not

A new study published in the Public Library of Science by McLean Hospital and Harvard Medical School entitled GENDER DIFFERENCES IN THE MOTIVATIONAL PROCESSING OF BABIES ARE DETERMINED BY THEIR FACIAL ATTRACTIVENESS concludes what all new mothers are afraid to hear:  that AN UGLY BABY IS HARDER TO LOVE.

The study set out to clarify an Israeli study that showed 70% of abused or abandoned children had some sort of visible flaw – but no other health or learning issues by determining “why”.

The 25 Most Dangerous US Neighborhoods

How safe is the city you live in?

What about your neighborhood?

Every city has “the good parts of town” and “the bad parts of town”.  The question is how to determine which side of that line your neighborhood falls on. 

That’s where NEIGHBORHOOD SCOUT comes into the picture.  They’ve analyzed crime statistics and FBI data from 17,000 local law enforcement agencies and have used computer models to calculate a “danger rating” for every zip code.  This rating predicts the number of violent crimes in the neighborhood per 1,000 residents.

It’s True – Men Love Food More Than Sex

Leave it to those crazy Australians to prove, via a scientific study, that MEN LOVE FOOD MORE THAN SEX.

The survey of 10,000 people was conducted by Magnum ice cream, and asked Australians to rank everyday experiences as part of a “pleasure quotient test”, which asked the participants to rank items based on the frequency and intensity to which the individuals felt a pleasurable trigger.   (What does that mean?  Just ask UniSA adjunct senior lecturer of psychology Dr David Haynes.  He’ll explain it in detail if you need to know.)

The Worst Movie of All Time

Psychos in Love - the worst movie ever made

“What is the worst movie of all time?”

Ask that question of 500 different people and you will get at least 500 different answers.

Web Watch believes that PSYCHOS IN LOVE is the worst film ever made, and others have expressed similar opinions.   And trust us, Web Watch has seen some really, really bad films over the years.

(In the spirit of fairness, there are a number of folks who think that PSYCHOS IN LOVE is a fairly entertaining B-movie, and recommend buying the recently-released director’s cut of the film on DVD.  Web Watch is in shock that there would be any unreleased footage worth including as bonus material.  But we digress.)

(Update: I misread the post linked above by Gorman Bechard to represent a “director’s cut”. It’s not. But it does have two commentary tracks, extended scenes, and other bonuses for the fans who want an inside look at the creation of Psychos in Love from the filmmaker. My bad.)

Going Bald? Cover it up with a Head Tattoo!

You’ve tried Rogaine and all those other hair-growth products, but let’s face it – your head is still bald, bald, bald.  Bald as a ping-pong ball.

Maybe you have the monk look going, with an ever-expanding crown poking out of the middle of your skill.

Or maybe you shave your head everyday to keep the receeding hairline at bay, but you’ve decided that you just don’t have a good looking bald head.  Hey, it happens.

So what do you do?
