Which university has the highest tuition?

Did you go to college (or, if you’re a snob, “university”)?

If you did, who paid for your tuition?  Were your parents able to take on a second mortgage and foot the bill for your four … or five… year stint?  Did you cover the cost yourself?

Student loans are awful, there’s no doubt about it.  But have you ever wondered if maybe you had attended a different, lower priced, school to get the same degree, that having that extra cushion of money available would have made a difference in your post-collegiate life?

The Six Types of Twitter Users

Only 14% of the US population uses Twitter.

That’s not a whole lot of people, but those who are on it are communicating with each other (or to nobody at all) at a frentic pace.

And just like any mass gathering, Twitter users have aligned themselves with specific groupings, whether they knew they were doing so or not.

What is the Most Influential Candy Bar of All Time?

America was built on candy.  Take a look around any grocery store, theme park, or children’s daycare center, and you’ll see those jacked-up sugar high kids clamoring for just a little bit sweet to shove into their adorable pieholes.

And growing up, weren’t we all exactly the same way?

The 5 Least Pleasant Places to Live in the US

Everybody loves where they live for some particular reason or other.

It could be as simple as “home is where home is”, or that you have grown up with a tight circle of friends in the neighborhood and don’t ever want to move away.  Web Watch knows many people who moved out of their parents’ home only to move in to the house next door or just down the street.

Did they do it strictly for family?  Sure, in part — but the area they chose to live in must have some redeeming qualities about it as well.

The Top Grossing Nightclubs and Bars for 2013

Nobody likes to go to a bar or nightclub that’s empty.  Chances are, it’s empty for a reason.

And it’s likely to close soon.

There’s a reason that most nightclubs and bars operate on a cash-only basis – they may not be around long enough to warrant opening a credit card processing account with their bank.  If they even have a bank at all.

The 10 Most Dangerous Dogs

Dogs are man’s best friend.  At least, until someone gets bitten.  Then the offending dog is nobody’s friend.

We have friends with all sorts of dogs, running the gamut from lap dogs to big ol’ greyhounds.  Even a Great Dane has been in the mix.  A litter of pitbulls. No poodles, though.  Not that we know of, at least.

But we’ve only seen one dog attack amongst all the dogs we’ve been familiar with.  And in hindsight, maybe there’s a reason for it.

Who are the Most Sampled Recording Artists of All Time?

It’s been said that there will reach a point in time where every single piece of recorded music has been written.  There are only so many combinations of notes on a musical scale that can be made.

So that’s where the ability to make variations on a theme come into play.  Combining two different songs to make a completely new one.  Sampling music in order to add your own voice, style to something that already exists.
