How to avoid getting norovirus on a cruise ship

Cruise ship.  Norovirus.

These two words, when seen together, can cause panic amongst new cruise ship vacationers who don’t know what they’re about to get themselves into.

Just a little bit of E.Coli can cause significant gastronomical distress on a cruise ship, and no amount of handwashing or Purell will erase the memory of a vacation gone bad in the aftermath of spending day upon day stuck (almost literally) to your stateroom toilet.

You’ll be lucky if you have a balcony – at least then you’d be able to air out the room and maybe see a little bit of the sights inbetween your bathroom runs.

What your urine color says about you

We all know the common diet theory of drinking eight glasses of water a day. (We’ve heard variations on this that say that eight glasses is a misnomer, and you need to take your weight and divide that by 2 to give you the number of ounces of water to drink a day).

Regardless, you’re still drinknig a ton of water, no matter how you cut it.

But every body is different, so how do you know if you’re drinking enough water at all?

Poo-Pourri’s Business Plan Stinks. Here’s what they should do instead…

It’s happened to everyone.

You’ve had to go, and you’ve had to go bad – and you’re not at home where it’s typically safe to do so.

Look, everyone does it — we just don’t want to share that fact with our friends, neighbors, or family.  Web Watch was talking with a couple the other day who did not have the pleasure of living with each other before getting married.  On their honeymoon was the first time that either had experienced The Smell from the other… and she made him leave the hotel room while she took care of her business.

Ah, young love.

Diet sodas are filled with poop. Seriously.

How many diet sodas do you drink in a day?

Two? Three? Twelve?

There’s a reason Diet Coke is more popular than regular Coca-Cola — people just like the taste better, regardless of whether they’re drinking it because it’s a diet beverage or not.

But have you looked at the ingredient label lately?

Tales from the Office Bathroom: Office Bathroom Rules

The office bathroom, as Web Watch has pointed out many times before, can be a nasty place.

But, as life happens, so does having to use the office bathroom at some point during your work day.  (What, you’re going to go down the street to the McDonald’s?  No, you’re going to do your business in the more immediate area. You know you will.)

How much pee does an elephant hold?

Different animals can pee different amounts.

College-aged fraternity guys have been known to “pee like a race horse” after (or during) some beer events at the house.

Let’s think about that phrase for a moment — does it mean you’re peeing as much as a racehorse would?  Are you peeing in the same manner that a horse does?  Or are you merely peeing while running around a track?

Language – it’s so complicated.
