With that, Web Watch wants you to visit SUMMER WEDDINGS RULES, courtesy of BRIDES WHO MEAN BUSINESS, an advice column covering all types of direct, to-the-point etiquette for brides who really want to know whether what they’re planning to do is the right thing or not.

Email for Seniors: a step-by-step guide for the computer shy

How many of you are scared about your parents being on email or following/friending you on social networks?

Yeah.

Thought so.

Does it help if you knew that you were not alone? That pretty much everyone doesn’t want to have any more interaction with their parents than was already being provided by phone or Sunday evening dinners?

For college basketball fans, it’s the week that matters. When office workers everywhere stop pretending to do work when filling out their brackets and start pretending to do work while sneaking in a mini-TV to hide under their desks so they don’t miss a minute of CBS’s coverage.

This is one benefit of the switch to digital TV, that you won’t find as many portable TV sets hiding at the office as you used to — but there’s always the Internet, so as long as your network administrator hasn’t blocked access to the streaming video websites, you should be good.

So a few weeks ago, Web Watch shared some TIPS FOR FILLING OUT YOUR 2011 BASKETBALL BRACKET. Since then, some additional information has come out that we thought we’d share with you.

Tacky Tourists

Some people travel to be educated about an area’s history.

Some travel to try different cuisines, or to learn about different culture.

But after you’ve done all that, you may still have another 20 hours of the day to kill, wandering around a strange or unfamiliar city looking for something to do.

And that’s why you may find yourself, with camera in hand, looking for the underbelly of interesting things in your new locale. There may not be a HARD ROCK CAFE or PLANET HOLLYWOOD nearby for you to buy a T-shirt from, but there may be something equally awesome.

We’ve been on a bit of a Jeopardy! roll recently here at Web Watch, but that’s not going to stop us from throwing another bit of fun at our readers — mainly because we want to see you get onto the show… and once there, win.

While you may have to practice your buzzer techniques in the privacy of your own home, there’s nothing stopping you from spending months memorizing 3×5 index cards that cover the typical subjects — British royalty, geography, and state capitols. That’s what Jeopardy! superstar Ken Jennings did, and look at how well it worked for him.

Monkeys may have thumbs, but they can’t draw worth a damn

That old adage, about putting a million monkeys into a room with a million typewriters and eventually they’ll write the collective works of Shakespeare, may not necessarily be a realistic statement anymore.

At least if by “writing Shakespeare” is the same as “painting art masterpieces”.

So says a recent study from Boston University that says that PEOPLE PREFER ART PAINTED BY OTHER PEOPLE, AND NOT BY MONKEYS. We know, how could you go wrong with something like this?

Lady Gaga - Born This Way
Lady Gaga – Born This Way

Web Watch won’t get into the controversy surrounding whether Lady Gaga’s most recent hit, Born This Way, sounds too much like some old Madonna song.

Hey, both have good beats and you can dance to ’em. To the casual listener, that’s what’s called win-win.

But not everyone is in love with Lady Gaga, no matter what she does or says.
