NSFW: A complete history of naked SURVIVOR contestants (and Jeff Probst?!?!)

SURVIVOR is one of those shows, especially as it is about to enter its 20th season this month with an all-star HEROES VS VILLAINS theme, that Web Watch loves watching – if only because the show somehow always figures out how to be fresh, exciting, and surprising season after season.

Jeff Probst has even given all future contestants one vital hint on how to survive Survivor, and it all comes down to studying game theory, which Web Watch will cover in a future post.

One thing that Jeff didn’t feel the need to mention is that one key part of being on Survivor is that at some point during the game, you’re going to be naked.

Sure, the CBS censors may pixelate your NO NO ZONE, or the contestants may decide to show off their newly-buffed bodies in an attempt to increase their Survivor-provided 15-minutes of fame — but after 20 seasons (and approximately 300+ contestants), there was bound to be a glut of Survivor contestant nudity available at some point.

It was inevitable, really.

At $32,878 a year, you’re doing better than half the country

Turbotax

A recent study of submitted tax returns (from 2007, since you asked – the most recent set of data available to researchers who study this type of thing) shows that IF YOU ARE MAKING OVER $32,878 A YEAR, then you are in the top 50% of income earners in the country.

$32,878 is the cutoff point, and the top 50% of all earners — those making more than $32,878 — cover about 88% of all income earned in the country.

RUNNING FROM CAMERA is a funny blog idea

The Runaways

RUNNING FROM CAMERA is a funny original blog idea.

Muggezifter, the blog creator, had a great idea for original self-portraits.

He sets the camera down on a stable surface (or has a friend/stranger hold the camera), sets the self-timer for 2 seconds, and then runs away from the camera as fast as possible.

Yup, can’t be any simpler than that. 

Certainly makes those staged posed photos on your next vacation seem a bit old-fashioned, doesn’t it?

Think your job sucks? It can’t suck any worse than one of these (where’s Mike Rowe?)


Jobs that Don't Suck

Web Watch has long held the belief that one of the worst jobs one could have would be the editor of a fishing show:

“nothing…. nothing…. nothing…. wait, what’s that?   Oh, never mind.   Nothing… nothing… nothing…”

Yes, we stole that joke from someone, but the sentiment remains the same.  Not all cool-sounding jobs are all they’re cracked up to be. 

Some jobs really do suck.  And Mike Rowe and his DIRTY JOBS team has done a great job of showcasing some of those jobs and the people who are proud to do what other folks refuse to try.  But he may have missed one or two jobs along the way.

How many friends do you need? When considering your salary, lots of ’em


Friends

A recent scientific study that covered 10,000 people over 35 years determined that people have, on average, 150 friends at any one moment in time.

So what does this mean to you, faithful Web Watch reader?

You’re right – on the surface, not so much.

Betcha can’t name the Most Played Video Game of All Time

Mobile Gaming Smartphones

Can you name the MOST PLAYED VIDEO GAME OF ALL TIME?

It’s not MS PAC MAN.

It’s not TETRIS.

It’s not even Microsoft Windows’ SOLITAIRE card game (although that one should qualify as the most played video game in the office environment).

Catcher in the Rye

Lauren Leto has written about many things, and even has one of those blog-to-book deals that Web Watch is fond of pointing out every occasionally — so when it comes to books and their authors, and what that all means to us, the reader – Web Watch believes that Lauren knows what she is talking about.

Picking a good password is important. “Tigger” is not a good password.

A recent study has been released that took a look at over 32 million passwords that were published onto the Internet after a hacker broke into the ROCKYOU.COM website.

This is the first time that a password study of this magnitude was able to be performed, but it did confirm a few things about users and the passwords they choose:  PEOPLE ARE NOT PICKING SECURE PASSWORDS FOR THEIR ONLINE ACCOUNTS.

The most common password found online is typically 12345, although the ROCKYOU data had the most common password being 123456, with nearly 1 percent of the ROCKYOU users being that uncreative.  Go figure – that extra digit made it that much harder to hack into the critical ROCKYOU website.
