What’s the best cure for a hangover headache?

As we’re getting into party season, it’s time to ensure that you’re prepared for the worst of the worst: the holiday party hangover.

Web Watch was talking with a parent of a 17-year-old teenager the other day about their preparations for heading off to college.  According to the mother, teenagers today are concerned about drinking, to the point where many are purchasing breathalyzers to use on their driving friends as a way to convince them to stay off the road.

Dogs like tails that wag the right way

Dogs are very expressive animals.  You can tell when they’re happy, you can tell when they’re sad. You can tell when they know that they’ve done something wrong.

There’s a reason that dog’s are called Man’s Best Friend, in part because there is that charade of communication that pet owners have with their dog that goes beyond a mere belly rub.

It’s North vs South in personality wars. (The West? Not so much)

Web Watch was having a conversation the other day about what it was like to conduct business – sales, really – in various parts of the country.

One of our friends chimed in that there is a distinct difference between business styles when he visits New York and other northern locales compared to when he travels to the south.  In the south things are more relaxed, personal, and a bit slower paced. People tend to care about people first, then they’ll get down to business.

Visits out to the West?  Those, he said, were full of feel-good, granola folks.

How much pee does an elephant hold?

Different animals can pee different amounts.

College-aged fraternity guys have been known to “pee like a race horse” after (or during) some beer events at the house.

Let’s think about that phrase for a moment — does it mean you’re peeing as much as a racehorse would?  Are you peeing in the same manner that a horse does?  Or are you merely peeing while running around a track?

Language – it’s so complicated.

Men still don’t wash their hands in the office bathroom

Office bathrooms are usually a stinky, awful mess.

You have any number of people who don’t wipe down counters, pick up paper towels off the floor.  And is there really a need in an adult environment to have to post a sign that says, “do not flush paper towels, they will clog the toilet”?  How many people are really doing this?  Who’s taking paper towels into the toilet stall in the first place?  Are they really that much more comfortable than the typical office toilet paper to use?  Really?  REALLY?
