A recent survey of 500 men who have western-style toilets at their homes concluded that 33.4% OF JAPANESE MEN SIT DOWN TO PEE while at home.
The survey, performed on behalf of TOTO – makers of home bidet systems and other bathroom fixtures – shows an increase of about 9.7% over the numbers from the last time Toto conducted a survey of bathroom habits in 2004.

The LONDON SCHOOL OF ECONOMICS has put together a report entitled Fewer Emitters, Lower Emissions, Less Cost that draws what should be an obvious conclusion:
Global warming isn’t an environmental thing, or a byproduct solely due to advanced technology or corporate carbon emissions.
Global warming is due to there being too many damn people in the world. More people means more manufacturing and excessive gas or bad breath all contributing harm to the environment.
Their solution? Stop breeding.
The WORLD’S LARGEST PEZ DISPENSER is getting sued.
Well, not the dispenser itself, but the Burlingham, California people who built the World’s Largest PEZ dispenser and included it as a display in their INTERNATIONAL PEZ MUSEUM.
The company behind PEZ didn’t like the perceived copyright infringement that’s taking place, especially after this unauthorized reproduction received a GUINNESS WORLD RECORD for the Largest Candy Dispenser. The reason behind the lawsuit is that it’s not an official PEZ product, so therefore should not be eligible for being recognized as a valid PEZ dispenser in the first place.

Remember the Men’s Underwear Economic Index that Web Watch mentioned the other day?
Have you heard about the HOT WAITRESS ECONOMIC INDEX?
As the creators of the index note, it is similar to the Overeducated Cabbie Index or Speed at Which Contractors Return Calls Index, both of which should give the casual observer some indication of how desperate for work some people are during certain economic times.

The FCC has released their QUARTERLY REPORT ON INFORMAL CONSUMER INQUIRIES AND
COMPLAINTS, covering January-March 2009.
It’s the usual government summary paper, filled with lots of mumbo-jumbo, charts, and big words to fill up all 11 pages when probably two or three pages would have done just fine.
But if you take the time to read through all that ick, you’ll see an interesting statistic: according to the FCC, March 2009 was incredibly indecent for TV viewers and radio listeners.
As we become more-and-more invested in using the Internet and other new technology, more and more things are becoming obsolete as they are being rendered useless.
Payphones? No longer needs as everyone has a cell phone.
Telephone books? There’s a huge cutback on printing and distributing them as everyone just looks numbers up on the Internet or calls 411.
Ethernet cords? Why bother running a 20′ long cable from the wall to the kitchen table if you can go wireless?
In that vein, the Telegraph has decided to put together their list of 50 THINGS THAT THE INTERNET HAS KILLED.
