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?

What were the Top Words of the Decade? (You might want to Google it)

Post author By web gangsta
Post date January 10, 2010

Every year for the past 20 years, the AMERICAN DIALECT SOCIETY has gotten together to analyze and review word usage for the previous 12 months. The beginning of 2010 is no exception, as Allan Metcalf and Grant Barrett (from MacMurray College and the online dictionary Wordnik.com, respectively) have released this year’s WORD OF THE YEAR and WORD OF THE DECADE.

The word of the year? “tweet”, as either a description of the act of using Twitter, or the Twitter message itself.

The word of the decade? “google”, used as a generic verb to search the Internet.

OMG! (I’m the adult)

Post author By web gangsta
Post date January 9, 2010

Have you ever had one of those days when something major happens in your life and you come to the sudden realization of OMG – I’M THE ADULT?

Like when you’re in a car accident with a teenage driver and somebody has to remember to take pictures, write down insurance info, and call the cops?

Or when you’re at the mall and you see a young man without a belt on, and his sagging pants are dropped so low that his junk is flapping around for the world to see, and you feel that the only responsible thing to do is to pull the lad aside and tell him that his junk is showing.

Movie Review: UP IN THE AIR

Post author By web gangsta
Post date January 8, 2010

Rated R for brief nudity, language, and obscene product placement imagery
Rating: A-

UP IN THE AIR is one of those high-concept films that tend to leave some audience members baffled at whether what they saw was good or not, yet they still leave the theater satisfied that the answer is “yes”… even if they can’t exactly say why that is.

George Clooney is typecast as himself – a charming guy who lives for travel and wearing suits – who is playing a character whose job it is to fly around the country and fire people.

Detroit’s Hans Steiniger knows all about what it takes to be a true football fan.

That’s because HANS STEINIGER HAS VISITED ALL 31 NFL STADIUMS as part of a four-year quest to complete a unique journey of experiencing each stadium as a “local fan”. Yup, he attended the games as a local would – in full jersey, face-painted, bead-wearing, cheesehead-toting regalia.

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?.

Do the math: Warren Beatty slept with a woman every 1.17 days

Post author By web gangsta
Post date January 4, 2010

In Peter Biskind’s new book about Warren Beatty, STAR: HOW WARREN BEATTY SEDUCED AMERICA, we learn that Warren Beatty has allegedly slept with over 12,000 different women.

Approximately 12,775 – if you believe what the book says.

While there may be some Web Watch readers who will applaud Warren for coming anywhere close to even 1/4 of that number, there will be a large number of folks who will believe that Warren has completed all those conquests… and more… without question.

And that is where Web Watch can step in. Because bedding 12,775 partners seems a bit over-achieving to us.

And apparently, we’re not alone in this thinking.
