Hangovers.
We’ve all suffered through ’em, whether it be at a Waffle House at 8am after a killer night on the town, or hanging out at the Magic Kingdom after doing DRINKS AROUND THE WORLD at Epcot at Walt Disney World three times too many in one day.
We’ve tried all the cures, but nobody really has attacked the real problem: that maybe it’s the alcohol that’s causing the hangover issue.
Leave it to scientists to figure out how to make HANGOVER-FREE ALCOHOL.
It really shouldn’t bother Web Watch as much as it does.
After all, eating too many cookies of any type isn’t good for you. Heck, even Cookie Monster says that “Cookies are a Sometimes Food”
But as the Chicago Sun-Times and others pointed out last year, Girl Scout cookies were getting a bit smaller, perhaps due to the recession. There’s even a FACEBOOK page devoted to fans who want to get their 8 cookies back in the box.
But now an entire whole year has passed since, and Web Watch dutifully went to the local grocery store to buy our annual allottment of Thin Mints, Tagalongs, and Samoas from the Girl Scouts (and their parents) trying to sell off their excess inventory*.
And Web Watch can confirm that this year’s Thin Mints Economic Indicator shows that the economy is still in the gutter as the 2010 box looks to be the same as the 2009 box. That is, in 2010 we’re still looking at a smaller box and fewer cookies.

But can you name the other 56 Heinz varieties?

If there’s one thing that Web Watch has learned from watching hours of Food Network programming, it’s that there are many different ways to maim yourself with a kitchen knife as there are foods that need to be sliced and diced.
Tom Mylan, owner of THE MEAT HOOK in Brooklyn, New York, knows a thing or two about proper knife usage since he uses them every day as part of his job.
Duff Goldman of the Food Network’s ACE OF CAKES is known as a cake guy. Web Watch knows he’s also in a band, went to pastry school, and worked at the French Laundry for a little bit… but he’s mainly known for his cakes that he makes with his friends at a little shop called CHARM CITY CAKES in Baltimore. (Hey Geoff! Hey Mary Alice!)
But what if you wanted to make and decorate your own cake and do it in “Ace of Cakes”-style? Believe it or not, even Duff and his crew try to follow some general guidelines and procedures when they’re making their crazy whimsical creations.
Here are some CAKE DECORATING TIPS EVERY CAKE DECORATOR SHOULD KNOW:

January 23rd, as everyone knows, is NATIONAL PIE DAY.
And there are all sorts of ways for you to celebrate National Pie Day, including the obvious – such as “bake a pie” or “bring a pie to work”, and the not-so-obvious “have a pie fight” or “pass along pie memories” (whatever that means).
Even restaurants that are self-proclaimed “famous for their pies” have taken to promoting the need to CELEBRATE PIE.

Every New Year, there are people who make casual New Year’s Resolutions that they hope to keep in order to better themselves (the traditional “stop smoking”, “exercise more”, and “spend more time with loved ones”), and then there are people like Richard Nikoley who believe in making a definitive lifestyle change for overall good.
It seems that Richard has decided to FREE THE ANIMAL within and make some dramatic changes to how he lives his life – things that may seem dramatic to others, that is.
You see, Richard has decided, among other things, to STOP USING SOAP AND SHAMPOO.

Rick Mabry and Paul Deiermann are mathematicians.
Rick and Paul also love pizza.
While this does not prove that all those who love pizza are mathematicians, it does prove that all mathematicians love pizza.
And why not? Pizza offers the ultimate eating question: HOW CAN YOU SLICE A PIZZA TO ENSURE THAT ALL PRESENT WILL RECEIVE THE EXACT SAME AMOUNT OF PIZZA?
This was the problem that Rick and Paul set out to find: to determine how to create a PERFECT SLICE OF PIZZA.
