The old adage says that animals can smell fear.
According to a recent study that asked for MARRIED AND UNMARRIED PARTNERS TO SMELL EACH OTHERS’ PIT SWEAT, science proves that adage to be true.
If you’re looking for a quick Flash game to play to kill time during your lunch hour, you can’t go wrong with a quick game of CASTLEWARS (or, spelled with a space as CASTLE WARS).
Web Watch had some interesting inventions the other day, and here’s one more for you:
Enterprising inventors have determined that women’s panties need a little something extra added to them — aside from the fact that your average underwear contains 1/10 of a gram of poop, as Web Watch pointed out earlier.
Yes, that’s right. Women need PERKY PANTIES.
SkinMedica – TNS: Essential Serum
SkinMedica is a San Francisco-based company that specializes in anti-aging creams and lotions to help restore elasticity to aging skin.
And, it appears from what Web Watch reads on other sites, that they will make an anti-aging cream just for you… if you send them your baby’s foreskin to use as an ingredient. It must be true, as it was allegedly announced as such on an episode of the Oprah Winfrey show in 2007.
And we know that Oprah wouldn’t lie to us, would she? Besides, SkinMedica isn’t the only company doing this. A different company uses foreskins to make Vavelta, which is injected to help smooth wrinkles as Botox does.
This week, the NEW YORK TIMES finally wrote an article about a study that WEB WATCH wrote about in a September 2009 piece entitled “MULTITASKING SUCKS”. Glad to see that the NY Times is on top of today’s news…
In the NYTimes article called “Your Brain on Computers – Attached to Technology and Paying a Price” (or, depending on which version you’re reading, also titled as “Your Brain on Computers – Hooked on Gadgets, and Paying a Mental Price”, take your pick), the NYTimes examines the impact that computers and portable gadgets have on people today, and whether being so surrounded by information and multitasking our way through the Internet marsh is worth it.
Many years ago, Web Watch had a co-worker that was, for all intents and purposes, a bit eccentric. For today’s story, we’ll refer to him as “Steve”.
Steve was great at his job. He was always receiving work-related accolades, and was regularly the “go-to” person who could figure out anything. Yes, Steve was definitely in the running to be The Model Employee.
Growing up and playing sports: two rites of passage that go hand-in-hand.
Web Watch played the usual assortment of team sports when we were younger: tee-ball, soccer, basketball. As we grew older, we tried kickball, dodgeball, tennis, and golf. Adult co-ed softball with coworkers, while entertaining, just turned into another reason to go drinking afterwards.
The outcome was always the same: we really weren’t that good at any of the sports we played. As we were often fond of saying, “what we lacked in skill, we made up for with enthusiasm.” Remember – just because someone owns their own softball glove doesn’t mean that they are good at playing softball.
There was one softball league that Web Watch was a part of that required the teams to play each other twice during the season. One team we played so over-dominated us during our first match (we recall that it was probably something like 15-0 after the first inning), but that didn’t bother us – the game was only an hour long, and we knew that there was pizza and beer waiting for us down the street, just like any other week. With the game being just an hour long, there was no mercy rule in play (actually, there might have been, but the umpires never really enforced it).
No, what bothered us was the other team’s attitude.
It’s one thing for us to mock and make fun of our own players’ abilities (or lack thereof). We already know we’re not going to win many games, if any. It’s another thing for the opposing team to jeer our gameplay openly.
If you have kids (or have friends that do), chances are that you have seen first-hand both the destruction that kids can do to practically anything of value in the home, as well as the “art” that the parents feel they need to hang on their office wall to share with their co-workers.
So today, Web Watch takes a look at these two sides of the child-rearing coin:
- The good – WHAT OUR KIDS MADE
- and the badly awesome – CRAP MY KIDS RUINED
