What is the best word ever?

What is the best word ever?

Some would say that it comes down to the most commonly-used words like “like”, “dude”, or the ever popular “fck”.  Some people – like your English teachers – would hope that the Best Word Ever would be something a bit more egalitarian.

Statistics: Deaths on Star Trek (or, why wear a red shirt when other colors will do?)

What’s the toughest job in the universe?

Being a red shirt-wearing character on the classic TV showSTAR TREK.

Countless stories, articles, and jokes have been written about the high mortality rate of those ill-fated crew members who always seem to find themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time on planetary excursions.

Web Watch would chalk this up to mis-management by the ship’s captain and his commanding officers, but Captain Kirk would never see things that way.  He was on a five-year mission, dammit.

You are the egg-man. Goo goo ga choo

Is there anything better than a well-cooked egg?

Eggs are the one dish that everybody has a favorite version of.  Some people prefer the basic scrambled egg, while for others, the perfect sunny-side up egg is perfection.

One question that eludes Web Watch is who was the first person to see a chicken lay an egg, who then decided that THAT would be something that we should try to eat.  And the second person, who decided that the first person’s idea of eating an egg raw was uncivilized.

The Best Haunted Houses in America

Web Watch loves – and hates – haunted house attractions.

We love the concept, we love the designs. We love the insane creativity that goes on in putting on a successful Haunted House year after year.

But we wouldn’t be caught dead going to one as a guest.  We don’t find running through a scare zone all that much fun.

We know, we’re in the minority on this, as Haunted Houses are multi-million dollar businesses these days.

Embrace your future: one of these 75 cities is where you want to be

The future is a scary place, in part because nobody who’s been sent there in a time machine has ever come back (that we know of).

So we don’t have any future warnings of things that might be if we don’t change our ways.

How much money does the tooth fairy bring?

Parents: how much money do you leave under your child’s pillow when they lose a tooth?

Web Watch recalls that $0.50 was the norm for every tooth we lost, but we’ve heard more recent reports that the dollar value for a tooth has gone much higher today.

Before we get to the topic on hand, here’s another parent question:  what do you do with all those teeth?  Do you keep them? Toss them away?  Make a creepy “tooth necklace” out of them?  Be sure to tell us your family tooth traditions in the comments below.

40% of women do not use any form of birth control

Adults today may be more educated about the pros and cons of using (or not using) birth control, but that doesn’t mean that those same adults are following through and practicing safe sex.
