What are the odds of killing yourself when playing Russian Roulette?

By web gangsta | Published: May 15, 2012


What are the odds of killing yourself while playing Russian Roulette?

Web Watch doesn’t really know why this question was asked on the Internet, but it was – and it’s our duty to share this information with our faithful Web Watch readers.

Because one never knows when one will find themselves in a Russian Roulette game where this may come into play.

Of course, you can always make it Beer Roulette, where you guess as to which one of the beers in the 6-pack has been shaken up.  It’s a waste of a good can of beer, but it’s infinitely funnier.

Canadians hate sex

By web gangsta | Published: May 11, 2012


Apparently, Canadians hate sex.

To be fair, it’s not all Canadians, and it’s not that they hate sex — it’s just that some Canadians have sex lower on their priority scale than other things.

The Worst Stripper Songs, Ever

By web gangsta | Published: May 9, 2012


So the other day, Web Watch was having some drinks with friends when the topic of party music came up.

Of course, we all broke out singing Red Solo Cup at the top of our lungs, much to the chagrin of our host as they had banned that song from any and all gatherings that they partake in.

Which only prompted us to sing the song louder and at every available opportunity.

And that’s when the conversation shifted from FUN PARTY SONGS to WORST SONGS FOR STRIPPERS TO DANCE TO.

The overall winner?

The 10 Worst Job Uniforms for All Time

By web gangsta | Published: May 7, 2012


Some offices let their workers enjoy “casual Fridays”, where employees can trade in their khakis and button-down shirts for Levis and polo shirts.

Web Watch knows of one company where they require the staff to wear suits to work once a month (every other day is a “business casual” environment).

And don’t get Web Watch started on those companies we’ve visited where some women feel that flip-flops are appropriate for the office.  We already know that shouldn’t be allowed, no matter what organization you’re in.

Today’s teenagers are not having sex as early as their parents did

By web gangsta | Published: May 5, 2012


How old were you when you first had sex?

And if you have kids that age, have you taken the time to have THAT conversation with them, to ensure that your kids don’t make the same mistake (or have the same fun) that you had when you were their age?

Chances are, you haven’t.  Web Watch doesn’t know many parents who have had that conversation at all.

But it may end up that today’s parents shouldn’t be that discouraged about their kids bumping uglies in an unresponsible manner, according to a recent report from the CDC.

How hard is it to learn Spanish?

By web gangsta | Published: May 3, 2012


How hard is it to learn Spanish?

When you look at the scale of all languages around the world, learning Spanish is about as difficult as learning French, Italian, or Portuguese.

Surprisingly, a few other languages were also considered at the same level — Afrikaans, Norwegian, Swedish, and Dutch included.

How to test a toilet using the Bristol Stool Scale

By web gangsta | Published: May 2, 2012


With all of today’s technology, one common household feature can also be one of the most frustrating.

Yes, we’re talking about the toilet. More specifically, your toilet’s flushing ability.

(Did you know that there are seven different types of poop?   We’ll get back to this in a moment…)

One thing that Web Watch always makes note of when we’re staying at hotels across the country is whether the hotel’s engineering staff “get it” in terms of providing adequate flushing power for their guests.  We were so impressed at the flushing prowess at one hotel that we went so far as to take a look in the tank to see what magic flushing mechanism was inside (in that case, it was a professional pressurized unit – all the more likely to not break by curious guests like ourselves).

Worse is when we have to report to the hotel’s front desk about the poor toilet situation in our room.  We often wonder is it an isolated situation in our room, or is it something that’s more common across the whole floor or entire hotel.  Sadly, we never do get the chance to get the answer to this.

20 condiments that make every food taste better

By web gangsta | Published: April 30, 2012


Web Watch knows a girl who only eats chicken fingers, cheese, french fries, and ketchup.

Yeah, we know – it’s a little weird.  But she’s happy with it.

Asked her once what she would do if the world ever ran out of ketchup… and she wasn’t happy.  For her, ketchup makes the world go ’round.

Similarly, we have many friends who wouldn’t dream of eating watermelon without a little salt on it.  It’s their thing.

Beyond hand sanitizer: 10 other things that teenagers are using to get high

By web gangsta | Published: April 29, 2012


Remember when Web Watch told you about “butt chugging”, one of the latest teenager trends for getting high, drinking, or doing drugs?

Well, as soon as one fad goes out of fashion, another one comes into vogue — and by now, Web Watch is sure that you’ve already heard about those kids who are trying to get high via hand sanitizer.

Really?

Really?

99 reasons why Cosmopolitan is the funniest magazine, ever

By web gangsta | Published: April 24, 2012


If you’re not reading Cosmopolitan magazine, you’re doing yourself a disservice.

Seriously, their annual SEX ISSUE is hands-down, one of the funniest reads you’ll have all year.

And it’s all because of their regular survey feature of SEX QUESTIONS (“We answer the naughtiest things on your mind, in 20 words or less”).

How to reach Inbox Zero

By web gangsta | Published: April 22, 2012


Inbox Zero.

Web Watch hears this phrase thrown about at the office by managers who feel overwhelmed by the constant influx of arriving email messages.

All they want to do is get their email inbox to read “0 messages”…. and hopefully keep it that way.

Web Watch understands the desire to have 0 waiting messages, but INBOX ZERO is a goal that not everyone can achieve — especially us, who receives upwards of 1000 emails a day across multiple email accounts.   Granted, the vast majority of those messages are ones that can either be filed away or deleted without even being read or addressed — but that still is going to leave a few hundred emails each day that still need to be processed in some manner.

Yeah, achieving INBOX ZERO isn’t always possible for everybody…

If you’re part of the Baby Boomer generation, you’re probably living alone

By web gangsta | Published: April 20, 2012


The Baby Boomer generation is getting older, that’s a fact.  And it’s not just because Baby Boomers represent those aged 45-63.

It could be because they may not be doing the one thing that helps alleviate the onset of premature old-age:  finding a partner to spend the rest of their lives with.
