Drink this – it’s the Ultimate Hangover Cure of the Future

By web gangsta | Published: March 4, 2010

Hangovers.

We’ve all suffered through ‘em, whether it be at a Waffle House at 8am after a killer night on the town, or hanging out at the Magic Kingdom after doing DRINKS AROUND THE WORLD at Epcot at Walt Disney World three times too many in one day.

We’ve tried all the cures, but nobody really has attacked the real problem: that maybe it’s the alcohol that’s causing the hangover issue.

Leave it to scientists to figure out how to make HANGOVER-FREE ALCOHOL.

10 Fast Fart Facts (now say that 10 times fast)

By web gangsta | Published: March 3, 2010

Let’s face it, Web Watch fans: farts are fun.

You know it, they know it. Sure, they may stink up a little at times, but they make the person doing the farting feel good, and those around them usually laugh a little bit. All in all, farts are not just good for you, but good for the people who hear it.

Certainly brings up the question that if farts bring so much joy to people’s lives, why people aren’t farting in public more often.

Today’s lesson: Writing jokes isn’t easy. Computers that write jokes aren’t funny.

By web gangsta | Published: January 19, 2010

A friend of ours is a comedy writer.

He always says that writing jokes isn’t easy. We keep telling him that he would have more free time if scientists would invent a robot that could write jokes.

He insisted that there was no way a machine could write something that was as funny as what a person could write. Web Watch tried not to point out how horrible some so-called sitcoms are, or how repetitive certain late-night talk show host monologues have become.

And then along comes the JOKE WRITING COMPUTER.

Boosting your metabolism helps you lose weight. Sadly, Twinkies are not the answer

By web gangsta | Published: January 17, 2010

One thing Web Watch knows how to do is tell others what they are supposed to do to lose weight.
It’s quite simple – “eat less and exercise more.”

See how easy it is to say that? The hard part, as we all know, is actually following through with the advice that we freely give to others. Web Watch may not practice what we preach, but we’re really not the kind of people we would preach to anyway.

So let’s pretend that you’re already trying to eat a sensible breakfast, healthy lunch, and small portions at dinner. You’re exercising a little bit every day as best you can, but you haven’t really noticed any real differences yet.

Maybe all you need to do, since you’re doing everything else right, is to kickstart your metabolism a little. Here are a few suggestions that you can try:

Q: How many different chemicals do women put on their face every day? A: 515

By web gangsta | Published: January 11, 2010

HOW MANY DIFFERENT CHEMICALS DO WOMEN PUT ON THEIR FACES EVERY DAY?

A UK company, Bionsen, determined that the average woman puts 515 different chemicals on her face every day, using a combination of makeup, perfumes, mascara, and other products.

The average woman uses 13 different products daily, and each product contains at least 20 different ingredients — lipsticks and other makeup average 30 ingredients, and some perfumes can have as many as 400 different ingredients.

It gets scarier from there. You pay attention to the labels on food you eat, but have you paid attention to the ingredient list on your personal grooming products… if those products even contain ingredient lists in the first place?

Have a question about poop? Just ask Dr Stool…

By web gangsta | Published: January 5, 2010

Web Watch would like to introduce Web Watch readers to Josh Richman and Anish Sheth, MD, who collectively are known as DR STOOL. (Web Watch will refrain from making any jokes about the two authors meeting while at Brown University, even if it is true.)

Josh and Anish have taken a practical approach to answering all manner of poo-related questions and have released a book entitled WHAT’S YOUR POO TELLING YOU? and a companion piece WHAT’S MY PEE TELLING ME?.

Was the buzz worth it? Ever wonder how many calories are in that caffeinated drink?

By web gangsta | Published: December 14, 2009

You wake up every morning and wander down to the local Starbucks outlet and order yourself a double-shot half-mocha latte with extra whip, just to get yourself going. You have a big day ahead, don’t you?

Everyone knows that if you cut back on those $4 fancy coffee drinks every day and brew your own, you’d save yourself about $1000 a year, give or take.

But what people aren’t talking about is how much fat you’re putting into your pants if you just take the drink and plop your ass into the office chair for the rest of the day.
