Web Watch would like to introduce Web Watch readers to Josh Richman and Anish Sheth, MD, who collectively are known as DR STOOL. (Web Watch will refrain from making any jokes about the two authors meeting while at Brown University, even if it is true.)
Josh and Anish have taken a practical approach to answering all manner of poo-related questions and have released a book entitled WHAT’S YOUR POO TELLING YOU? and a companion piece WHAT’S MY PEE TELLING ME?.

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.

William Poundstone is one of Web Watch’s favorite writers, having written many books around the same theme of exposing various ways that professionals (magicians, street crooks, carnies, casinos, etc) lie, cheat, and steal their way into your wallet.
Some of Mr Poundstone’s books that you may already be aware of include:
All are great reads and lots of fun.
And now Mr Poundstone adds to his roster with PRICELESS – THE MYTH OF FAIR VALUE AND HOW TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT.
Frequent Web Watch readers will remember that we have featured PHOTOSHOP DISASTERS a number of times here, and today will continue that laugh-riot known as really, really bad Photoshopped art.
But one question that is often asked of Web Watch is not so much whether it was easy or hard to point out a Photoshop Disaster. So here are some tips that show HOW TO TELL IF A DIGITAL PHOTO HAS BEEN PHOTOSHOPPED.
Of course, sometimes it just takes an eyeball. Take for example, the box cover for the Garmin nüvi 765/765T GPS Unit. The box is a simple white background with a photo of the GPS unit on it (with its reflection underneath), just like every other Garmin boxed item on store shelves. The difference on this one versus other Garmin products is that the reflection is not an actual reflection, but just a copy of the existing image that has been rotated 180° from the original. All other Garmin products took that image and mirrored/flipped it.
In other words, it don’t look right.
Trust us – if Web Watch can see that the image on the Garmin box isn’t quite right, you should be able to notice it as well. (The product itself? No problems at all. Highly recommended.)

You’re at a crowded bar or party where you don’t know anybody. You’re interested in using this as an opportunity to find someone new to date, but don’t want to blow your confidence by asking every lady in the room if they’re single or not.
So HOW CAN YOU TELL IF THE WOMAN ACROSS THE ROOM IS SINGLE OR NOT? Here are some signs to look for:

Some would say that if you’re one of those people who feel the need to have a tattoo on your arm, neck, lower back, calf, or other seen (or unseen) body part that is not in your native language, then you deserve what you get.
You might have asked for your initials to be displayed in Kanji, but you may end up with something entirely different and not necessarily something that you would like to have.
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.

Web Watch has enjoyed watching Gordon Ramsay yell at both potential and actual restaurant employees for years on HELL’S KITCHEN and KITCHEN NIGHTMARES, respectively.
And in the end, we wholeheartedly agree with the yelling, as he is yelling for good reason the majority of the time. All Gordon wants is to bring out the best in people.
So while you may not agree with his methods, you can agree that when it comes to food he does know what he’s talking about.
Which is why FOX has decided to import yet another British series for Ramsay that shows a decidedly softer side of the typically angry chef in GORDON RAMSAY: COOKALONG LIVE, airing live on FOX on December 15th.
