Here’s a LITTLE KNOWN NASA FACT that you won’t often hear on any space-oriented TV show or VIP tour: astronauts can propel themselves through space by using their pee as a propulsion method.
It’s true.
It’s been commonly reported that MEN THINK ABOUT SEX EVERY SEVEN SECONDS. But that’s not the only thing that scientists have proven about how men’s brains work.
If you consider these following ten items and compare them to what you know about the men in your life, you may be surprised about what is going on inside that noggin. Here are TEN THINGS EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW ABOUT A MAN’S BRAIN:
Previously, Web Watch has written about how little money artists receive from music sales.
While that post was about the best band in the world and how they are still in debt to Warner Brothers even after millions of albums and downloads sold, new information has come to light regarding more current and popular artists and how they are affected by music royalty payment calculations… or lack thereof.
Lady Gaga, for example, was reportedly PAID JUST $167 FOR FIVE MONTHS WORTH OF STREAMING (totalling over 1 million plays) of the song “Pokerface” on the streaming service Spotify. Of course, SPOTIFY DISPUTES THIS, and says that the payment that was reported was for a tiny timeframe, represents just one country, and was still when they were a lesser-known streaming service. Web Watch thinks that even with those caveats, since the streaming totals or dollars paid weren’t updated in the counter-discussion, that Gaga’s low payment number still stands.
Referencing other EMPIRICAL DATA ABOUT HOW MUCH ARTISTS GET PAID for each type of distribution method, David McCandless put together a phenomenal graphic that VISUALLY SHOWS HOW MUCH (or little) MONEY ARTISTS ARE PAID, specifically looking at how many items in each distribution model need to be sold in order for the artist to make a monthly living minimum wage. Let’s take a look at what David’s graphic is trying to tell us:

Flash Fun: Tiny Castle
Remember when Web Watch brought you ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED and how much fun you had with unlocking all those achievements in that game?
Well, we’re back with another game called TINY CASTLE, which is reminiscent of the classic MINER 2049er or DARK CASTLE updated for a new era.
Web Watch knows the best way to get a drink at the bar: Tip noticably well on the first round.
Even if the drinks are free, such as at an open-bar wedding, you should tip big when you have the opportunity to do so and be noticed. A $20 bill at the right time early in the evening will do wonders for you later at night. Perhaps a heavier pour, speedier service, an extra drink made available after the bar is “officially” closed for the evening.
All for $20.
