Texts From Last Night

Web Watch enjoys having a drink with friends, and on occasion there is a need to send a Twitter message out about the current festivities.

Web Watch has covered such drunk twittering (“dwittering”) in previous posts, but we have not covered the more dangerous, come-back-to-haunt-you act of drunk texting.

Here are the TEN THINGS PEOPLE HAVE THE MOST TROUBLE THROWING AWAY:

Even if McGriddles Weren’t Tasty, They’d Still Make Us Happy

Why do McGriddles, that tasty treat from McDonald’s that consists of egg, cheese, and bacon lovingly wrapped around two syrup-soaked pancakes, taste so good – and as a result, makes us happy?

It may surprise you that a STUDY ON THE NEUROSCIENCE OF MCGRIDDLES has shown that our happiness about McGriddles is not related at all with the taste of the McGriddle.  McDonald’s could serve us cardboard-wrapped cardboard, and it would be happily accepted just as well (assuming it was edible, of course).

Cass and Robert are big Disney fans.

They’ve been to Walt Disney World numerous times, and taken a Disney Cruise or two.

But Cass has a little bit of an obsession with the Disney facilities, as she felt the need to post PHOTOS OF EVERY WOMEN’S RESTROOM AT WALT DISNEY WORLD.

Movie Review: The Ugly Truth

Rated R for adult situations, language, and plenty of graphic, dirty sex talk. 

Rating: B

THE UGLY TRUTH is yet another romantic comedy wrapped around the basic Cyrano de Bergerac plot. 

In this case, Katherine Heigl is the lovelorn shy character who just wants to meet the man of her dreams, but she can’t without the help of salty trash talker Gerard Butler whispering what to say and do into her ear.   But who does Heigl end up with: the hottie, the ugly, someone else, or nobody at all?  And that’s why you’ll sit through the end of the film to find out.

Some Parents Insist Their Children Wear Clothes (This is News?)

The New York Times, always looking for a story, decided to report on the seemingly GROWING TREND OF 3-to-5-YEAR-OLD CHILDREN RUNNING AROUND NAKED.

Apparently, stripping off ones clothes and running around the house before bath time has expanded into more of an “anywhere, anytime” thing, especially in the pre-school set.

Preserving Email in a Time Capsule

As we covered in Web Watch back in November 2005, FORBES MAGAZINE CREATED AN EMAIL TIME CAPSULE PROJECT.

We here at Web Watch thought we’d revisit the FORBES TIME CAPSULE to see how it went.

For those of you who weren’t following Web Watch back then, Forbes took a month to collect over 140,000 messages and set up a system to deliver those messages up to 20 years later.

Who Are These Guys?

Remember a few years ago when Web Watch was one of the first to bring to you ONE RED PAPERCLIP, Kyle MacDonald’s quest to trade up from one red paperclip all the way up to a house? 

If you haven’t followed the completion of the story, Kyle did succeed in finally getting a house… along with a book deal, speaking engagements, and a possible movie out of the whole thing.
