What’s the Best American Novel ever written?

It is summer, and summertime can only mean one thing: the dreaded SUMMER READING LIST.

Remember those? You would be given a list of super-boring books that you absolutely had to read over the carefree sunny days spread out before you, and everyone always did the exact same thing: everyone waited until two days before school was back in session for the Fall and rushed out to the store to buy the Cliffs Notes versions.

Smart kids would have purchased the Cliffs Notes earlier in the summer, while inventory levels were high. Pity the kids who rushed to the local bookstore only to find the dreaded SOLD OUT sign on the rack.

What your cat’s meow means

Do you know what your cat wants?

Yes, every cat basically wants to be left alone – we’re only there to provide food, water, and occasionally clean their litter box. We are there to cater to a cat’s needs.

But once in a while, a cat will deem it necessary to communicate with their human caretaker.

Professional Tennis vs Drug Use: Who’s winning?

Web Watch has always thought that it would be interesting to see an “all drugs allowed” Olympics.

Let anyone who wanted to compete fire up the latest steroid or health enhancement and duke it out. Everything would be on the up-and-up and open — which would be the key. All competitors would have to openly admit to what they were doping and be tested to prove it.

But you could do whatever you want. In that type of wide-open sporting environment, let’s break some records with an asterisk to see what the human body could be stretched to do if given the chance.

How much poo does a hippo produce a day?

It’s a simple math problem:

You have a hippo. You need to know how much poo a hippo produces a day.

What’s your process to determine this?

Let’s think this one through a bit, shall we? It’s not like you can ask a hippo how much they weigh, let alone get the hippo up onto a scale at the end of the day.

So what’s a hippo poop researcher to do?

Why you shouldn’t keep your pet in your car

Do you drive your dog around each weekend?

Is your dog the kind that travels with its head out the window, sniffing as the world goes by? Or is your dog a bit more casual – sitting comfortably in the passenger seat and napping?

Or are you the kind of driver who insists on driving with your dog sitting in your lap (and possibly getting in the way of the airbag, should it be needed in an emergency situation)?

Flip-Flops are “underwear for your feet”

How many pairs of flip flops do you own?

If you’re anything like some Web Watch friends, flip flops are all you wear. You have your fancy flip flops, your office flip flops, your hanging out around town flip flops, your after-exercise flip flops, your going to the pool flip flops.

Remember when Web Watch told you that you should NEVER WEAR FLIP FLOPS AT THE OFFICE?

Apparenly, some of you need another reminder…
