One of the better job interview questions you can ask to get to know the candidate a little better is “what was the last book you’ve read?”
Chances are, especially if the job candidate is a bit younger than average, they’ll be hard-pressed to come up with an answer as they’ve typically spent most of their waking hours online or texting their friends.
It tends to catch people off-guard as they struggle to remember any book that wasn’t required for class that they happened to read just for fun.
Maybe Angelina and Brad have it right — just don’t get married (or, at the very least, tell the kids that you’re going to get married… even if it’s “eventually”).
Couples that we thought were in it for the long haul — Johnny Depp, for example — can even surprise us by separating.
Over the years, Web Watch has seen any number of our friends get married, get divorced, and get married again. For some, it’s turned into a comedy of errors as to how long their current marriage is going to last – whether it will be shorter or longer than the last one.
It happens.
Marriage isn’t for everyone.
How many of you can say that you’re friends with a mortician?
Every circle of friends has a car guy, a computer guy, a music guy, a sports guy. Why not a death guy?
Besides, you almost need one of those around just to answer all the creepy questions that everyone inevitably has. When was the last time that you spoke to a funeral director when death wasn’t on the line?

Call it what you will: the FAMILY BED, COSLEEPING, or just being a parent who loves the comfort that sleeping near their children brings to them — sharing the parental bed as a family can be very beneficial to uniting the family unit – just as it may seem a bit unusual to those parents who don’t follow the same practice.
The Family Bed is different from having all the kids jump into the bed with their parents because they’re sick, had a nightmare, or are scared of the big thunderstorm that’s going on outside.
Web Watch will let our readers learn about what the Family Bed is – and isn’t – on their own. We’re here to talk about it in a slightly different manner…

You’re one of those old people, aren’t you?
Always living in the past, telling those young punks of today how easy they have it now. You begin every sentence with, “oh yeah, well back in MY day, we didn’t have the Internet. And we LIKED it!”
So time marches on – it happens.
We can all agree that all sorts of things have changed over the past 50 years for sure, but even more so in the last 5-10 years.

Men — How do you feel about your junk? Are you satisfied with what you have?
More importantly – is your partner satisfied with what you have?
Well, new research shows that maybe they aren’t as pleased with what you’re packing as you may think. None of this should really be a surprise to anyone, but when we finally have facts to back up what folks always joked about — now we have something to talk about. Let’s read on…

Even if you’re one of those Occupy Wall Streeters, complaining about everything that Big Business is doing to Keep You Down, chances are you’re also a little bit brand conscious.
Aside from the fact that the OWS movement went to all the trouble of ensuring that they have a trademark on “OCCUPY WALL STREET”, those 99% really aren’t any different from the rest of us.
They’re wearing name-brand clothing, purchased at a name-brand retailer.
They’re marketing their protest with Apple and Google phones, using Facebook and Twitter over cellular networks or purloined free WiFi connections that are setup/maintained/paid for by other corporations.
A protest is fine, and bringing attention to companies’ misdeeds is powerful — but don’t complain about how all businesses are bad if you have to rely on them in order to handle your protest in the first place.
See, it really IS all about branding and marketing, isn’t it?
