Think back: if you did receive an allowance from your parents when you were growing up, at what age did they stop giving it to you?
Did they stop as soon as you got your first job?
Did they stop giving you a weekly allowance and switch it to “payment for services rendered”, as you completed chores around the house?

How about a show of hands: how many Web Watch readers have had some sort of breast augmentation surgery?
Okay, next question: how happy are you with your new breasts?

Hopefully, you’ve been on the Internet long enough for someone (likely, a parent) to have forwarded to you the following old meme about how tired you are from being overworked:
Yes, I’m tired.
For several years I’ve been blaming it on getting older, lack of sleep, weekend projects, stale office air, poor nutrition, carrying a couple of extra pounds, raising a family, recent ailments, and a dozen other reasons that make you wonder why life is getting tough.
But now I found out what’s really happening! I’m tired because I’m overworked.
The population of the USA reached 300 million last October.
79 million of the population are retired. That leaves 221 million to do the work.
There are 19 million toddlers and 76 million students in schools, which leaves 126 million to do the work.
Of that total, 21 million are unemployed leaving 105 million to do the work.
Then you take away 34 million in hospitals and that leaves 71 million to do the work.
43 million are in prisons and that’s 28 million left to do the work.
Now take away 14,683,468 federal, 5,344,722 state and 5,370,743 city workers who run our government and you’re left with 2,601,067 to do the work.
Take away the 2,601,065 people in the armed forces and that leaves just two people to do the work, you and me.
And you’re just sitting there reading this!
No wonder I’m tired!!!

Web Watch has reported it before, that SIZE DOES MATTER to women.
And yet, with all the empirical evidence surrounding us every day – such as women continually telling men this — scientists continue to do research on this allegedly very important topic.

We were all teenagers once.
And come Springtime, they say, is when a young heart turns to finding love. Well, maybe not “love” per se, but how about “strong like”?
Being a teenager is a tough time with lots of challenges due to the lack of experience that being in ones’ twenties gives you the proper perspective on. Adults may not always have all the answers, but they’ve lived through the same struggles that teenagers are going through today – if only the teens in their lives would think to ask for that advice.

So a few years ago, Web Watch wrote about a woman who LOST A LAWSUIT AGAINST GIRLS GONE WILD regarding her appearance in a Girls Gone Wild video, even though she is on film saying “no, I will not do this”.
The jury said that there was “implied consent” just for Tamara Favazza being present in the bar where the filming was going on, regardless of whether she willingly removed her top on her own (which she did not do).

They say that people get better looking as they get older.
More specifically, men get “more distinguished” as they age, and women get more… well, old.
It’s an unfair comparison, but life can be cruel.
And mean.
And hurtful.
And truthful.
Remember when Web Watch told you about FOOD EXPIRATION DATES? All about how you can determine the shelf life of food?
And then we told you that it wasn’t just food that could expire, but that COSMETICS HAVE EXPIRATION DATES too?
Well, you at home aren’t the only people who pay attention to the SELL BY, BEST BY, or USE BY dates that you find on your local supermarket products.
It should come as no surprise that the supermarkets themselves do the exact same thing. And throwing out all that allegedly “expired” food costs each supermarket, on average, about $2,300.
