10 Reasons to Date a Unicorn. 9 Reasons not to Date a Dinosaur.

By web gangsta | Published: August 29, 2010



Pink Unicorn

Some people have a fascination with unicorns. Nay, a unicorn fetish.  (Get it? “Nay”? Ha!)

Do they really exist?  Perhaps.  For now, let’s imagine that they do.

Now, Web Watch doesn’t want to get into the whole debate regarding former Arizona congressman J.D. Hayworth’s comments about GAY MARRIAGE LEADING TO PEOPLE MARRYING THEIR HORSE, but the comment was funny enough that it got us thinking — especially when there are books devoted to the subject of man-horse marriages, such as DUMP HIM, MARRY THE HORSE: WHY A HORSE IS A BETTER MATCH THAN A MAN

Do you LOVE to cook? That’s what three in ten people say about themselves

By web gangsta | Published: August 3, 2010


Kiss the Cook
Kiss the Cook

Web Watch knows our way around a kitchen, even if it is to help someone else prepare a meal.  That’s because we know that people approach the kitchen as one of three groups:

  1. Some people love to cook. It’s in their blood.  These are the people you always are sure to invite to the local potluck dinner or bake sale.
  2. Some people don’t mind cooking – they just know how to make food that is edible enough to survive on.  It won’t be fancy, but don’t expect anything spectacular.  The majority of people out there should fall into this category.
  3. And there’s the third group that doesn’t know their way around a kitchen.  Web Watch knows someone who claims to be so inept in the kitchen that they can burn a pot of water.  (They tend to order out a lot.)

So it should come as no surprise that a recent Harris Poll of over 2000 adults discovered that THREE IN TEN AMERICANS (about a third) LOVE TO COOK. 

Here’s the breakdown of that stat:  79% of adults said they liked cooking, while only 30% said they loved cooking.  49% said that they only enjoy cooking when they have the time.  14% said they did not enjoy cooking at all, and 7% of survey respondents said that they did not cook at all.

How to perform the “Perfect Handshake” according to math experts, and other handshaking stats

By web gangsta | Published: July 28, 2010


The Secret Handshake
The Secret Handshake

Howie Mandel doesn’t shake hands.

Donald Trump tries not to shake hands.

World leaders are judged on who they shake hands with, and who shakes hands (or not) with them.

Yes, shaking hands is definitely an art, and the folks at CHEVROLET UK wanted to figure out exactly how to shake hands the right way, as a good solid handshake is often the key to closing a new car sale.

So they came up with THE GUIDE TO THE PERFECT HANDSHAKE, and even commissioned a university professor to come up with a mathematical equation to putting that perfect handshake together.

Why is there ice in the urinal? (and other bathroom sanitation ideas)

By web gangsta | Published: July 17, 2010


Toilet Time Targets for Potty Training
Toilet Time Targets for Potty Training

Female Web Watch readers should seldom have reason to enter the men’s room in public places (Jimmy Buffet concerts being a notable exception, where even Ally McBeal’s co-ed bathroom seems quaint in comparison).

But it they did happen to wander into the men’s room in their favorite watering hole – no pun intended – they may see that some businesses feel that it is important to dump a few bags of ice into the urinals for the evening.

All of which brings up the inevitable question as the ladies return from their trip:  WHY IS THERE ICE IN THE URINALS?  Heck, even the vertible New York Times decided to get in on the action by writing about ICE-FILLED URINALS in a travel article a while back.

Study: men over 40 who use Viagra (or similar drugs) are twice as likely to also have an STD

By web gangsta | Published: July 11, 2010



Real Men Don't Need Viagra

Remember how WEB WATCH TOLD YOU ABOUT HOW OLDER WOMEN ARE MORE LIKELY TO HAVE SEX? 

Well, you know how all those Viagra and other male enhancement drug commercials all say that the product “does not protect the user from sexually transmitted diseases”?  It ends up that there’s a reason for this disclaimer to exist, aside from the standard insistance from the legal department.

The ANNALS OF INTERNAL MEDICINE is reporting that OLDER MEN WHO USE ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION DRUGS ARE TWICE AS LIKELY TO HAVE AN STD THAN THOSE WHO DON’T USE THOSE DRUGS.

Hear that biological clock ticking? It’s your body telling you to have more sex.

By web gangsta | Published: July 10, 2010


Rewinding your Biological Clock - Motherhood Late in Life
Rewinding your Biological Clock – Motherhood Late in Life

A study from the University of Texas at Austin has come out that says WOMEN ARE MORE LIKELY TO HAVE SEX AS THEY GET OLDER.  

More specifically, as the women feel like they are reaching the end of their reproductive life cycle, they’re more willing to have baby-making sex in order to fulfill maternal needs.

Not succeeding at online dating? Maybe you’re doing it wrong…

By web gangsta | Published: July 9, 2010



Sex, Lies, and Online Dating
Sex, Lies, and Online Dating

Since WEB WATCH WROTE ABOUT WRITING THE PERFECT ONLINE DATING MESSAGE, Web Watch has spoken with many people who have tried the online dating game.

Some we have spoken with are quite pleased with the results, having married their online hookup just like they show you in those advertisements and infomercials.

Others use online matchmaking services as a supplemental pool to their traditional dating environs.  Their philosophy is that they will have a better chance of finding a compatible mate if they cast their dating net out far and wide and utilize all potential avenues.  Sure, there have been plenty of misses along the way in their online dating experiences, but there have been some good times as well.

And there’s the third group that hasn’t had much luck with their online dating experience for whatever reason.  

(An amusing side note:  one friend of Web Watch who had registered for an online dating service in the past continues to receive emails from that service, encouraging them to sign back up for another go-around.  One recent email happend to contain the dating profile of another one of Web Watch’s friends.  This seems like the perfect time to remind our Web Watch readers to always remember to check your dating profile privacy settings if you don’t want your profile emailed out to strangers that aren’t officially signed up to receive your profile from the service.)

If you fall into that last group of unsuccessful online daters, perhaps this is a case of “it’s not me, it’s you”, and you should take the time to REVIEW YOUR ONLINE DATING PROFILE FOR THESE “DON’T DO THIS” ONLINE DATING TIPS:

Six Degrees of Separation of John Mayer’s Junk

By web gangsta | Published: July 6, 2010



John Mayer

John Mayer’s genitals have gotten around.

And whether real or simply imagined — and for Web Watch’s sake, we’ll throw in that “alleged” is an appropriate word to cover the rest of this post — if you follow the old adage that once you have sex with one person, you have had sex with every other person your partner has had sex with… then John Mayer has had sex with a veritable crapload of people.

At what age should “Family Naked Time” end?

By web gangsta | Published: June 25, 2010



Family Guy Naked Glasses
Family Guy Naked Glasses

Web Watch was eating dinner at a friend’s house the other day when Mom asked her 21-month-old daughter if she wanted to have NAKED TIME and run around the house. 

To those unfamiliar with the concept, “Naked Time” is not so much a way to encourage children to run around the house nekkid as it is to give a regularly-diapered butt some time to air out a little to help prevent diaper rash.
