The Baby Name Book – 100,000 Baby Names
Science has proven that what you name your child really can affect them as they grow up.
A study of 3000 parents suggests that 20% OF PARENTS REGRET WHAT THEY NAMED THEIR CHILDREN.
We all know that your right hand (palm up) is the Internationally Known Map of the state of Michigan.
But everyone always points to the wrong part of the hand when saying where they are from, whether it be Detroit, Midland, Flint, Kohler, or Battle Creek.
Everyone is always a little bit off.
It’s been ONE YEAR SINCE WEB WATCH LAST WROTE ABOUT BUYING NEW or USED ITEMS, and it seems that the list of THINGS YOU SHOULD NEVER BUY NEW and THINGS YOU SHOULD NEVER BUY USED have expanded from a list of 10 items each, to lists containing 20 (technically, 21) items each.
On the bright side, our original post identifying those 10 items on each list still holds true. And yes, underwear is still on the “don’t buy used” list.
So think of this as an expanded update of THINGS THAT YOU SHOULDN’T BUY NEW and THINGS THAT YOU SHOULDN’T BUY USED.
Little Shop of Horrors soundtrack, with Steve Martin as “The Dentist”
One thing about YouTube that bothers Web Watch is the number of videos that parents film over their shoulder while driving their car down the road. Especially now as MORE AND MORE STATES — up to 29 as of this writing — ARE PASSING BANS ON TEXTING WHILE DRIVING more and more states are passing bans on texting while driving. For those Web Watch readers who were wondering, based on that link it looks like Ohio and Hawaii are the only two states with absolutely no laws on their books relating to driving while using a cell phone or texting.
It’s only a matter of time before DWV (driving while videoing) joins DWI and DWT as acronyms to avoid getting a ticket for.
But the threat of receiving a DWV violation may not deter enterprising, money-hungry folks from filming everything that happens to them and posting it on YouTube in the hopes that their video goes viral.
Today’s example is DAVID AFTER DENTIST.
How to be a Competitive Eating Champion
Even if you have been living under a rock for the past 10 years, you probably have heard about the ANNUAL NATHAN’S HOT DOG EATING CONTEST held every July 4th out on Coney Island, New York. This year is the 94th year, for those of you keeping count.
And thanks to George and Richard Shea, founders of the INTERNATIONAL FEDERATION OF COMPETITIVE EATING (IFOCE), you’ve also likely seen the ever-expanding hoopla on ESPN, broadcast live.
And since Web Watch wants to be sure that our readers are adequately informed about such monumental occasions, we’re going to share with you these HOT DOG TRIVIA FACTS, courtesy of Nathan’s Famous Hot Dogs.
Charlotte, North Carolina – the “Queen City of the South” – has been named the MANLIEST CITY IN THE COUNTRY by Combos snacks.
We know. Web Watch was shocked too.
This was the same city where the Carolina Panthers’ Fight Song was deemed too cheesy to be played after a touchdown. No wonder the team struggled for a few years, even posting a 1-15 record one season. What good is an NFL team without a Fight Song?
Enjoy! Brrrrrzzzzzzzzzzz-zzzzzzzzz-zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you’re not getting enough sleep at night, perhaps it’s due to when you go to work each day.
