Hear that biological clock ticking? It’s your body telling you to have more sex.

Rewinding your Biological Clock - Motherhood Late in Life
Rewinding your Biological Clock – Motherhood Late in Life

A study from the University of Texas at Austin has come out that says WOMEN ARE MORE LIKELY TO HAVE SEX AS THEY GET OLDER.  

More specifically, as the women feel like they are reaching the end of their reproductive life cycle, they’re more willing to have baby-making sex in order to fulfill maternal needs.

You’ve had ’em growing up.  You’ve probably had one or two last week.

A pimple, zit, blemish, whitehead, blackhead, cyst, or other piece of acne on your face, shoulders, back, or butt.  Sometimes it’s due to a nasty ingrown hair, sometimes it’s just because your skin is a zit factory.

But did you know that some doctors say that POPPING YOUR ZITS CAN BE GOOD FOR YOU?

Nathalie Bajos of the National Institute of Health and Medical Reseach (Inserm) took data from a 2006 French survey regarding sexual behavior and concluded that OBESE PEOPLE SUFFER FROM A VARIETY OF SEXUAL-RELATED ISSUES.  Her results were published in the British Medical Journal.

The study, entitled SEXUALITY AND OBESITY, A GENDER PERSPECTIVE: RESULTS FROM FRENCH NATIONAL RANDOM PROBABILITY SURVEY OF SEXUAL BEHAVIOURS, turned up the following observations from a pool of over 10,000 respondants:

How many steps do you think you take each day? (42% of you will be way, way off)

Think about this while you sit at your desk or sit in traffic:  HOW MANY STEPS DO YOU THINK YOU TAKE IN A DAY?

In a 2004 study of 200 men and women, researchers determined that an average man walks about 7,192 steps per day, while the average woman takes about 5,210 steps per day. 

Trust us when Web Watch tells you that those numbers are way above today’s average of around 3,000 steps per day (most likely due to Web Watch and other Internet distractions).  If it helps, RECENT GOVERNMENT RECOMMENDATIONS call for a healthy person to be taking 10,000 steps per day – or about 5 miles.

What?  You’re not walking 5 miles a day?  Apparently, neither are a lot of other people.

However, everyone thinks they are.

Odd invention of the day: Anti-Aging Cream made from Infant Foreskin


SkinMedica - TNS: Essential Serum
SkinMedica – TNS: Essential Serum

SkinMedica is a San Francisco-based company that specializes in anti-aging creams and lotions to help restore elasticity to aging skin. 

And, it appears from what Web Watch reads on other sites, that they will make an anti-aging cream just for you… if you send them your baby’s foreskin to use as an ingredient.  It must be true, as it was allegedly announced as such on an episode of the Oprah Winfrey show in 2007.

And we know that Oprah wouldn’t lie to us, would she?  Besides, SkinMedica isn’t the only company doing this.  A different company uses foreskins to make Vavelta, which is injected to help smooth wrinkles as Botox does.

“Hooked on Gadgets, and Paying a Mental Price” from NYTimes is #oldnews


Time Magazine: Wired Kids
Time Magazine: Wired Kids

This week, the NEW YORK TIMES finally wrote an article about a study that WEB WATCH wrote about in a September 2009 piece entitled “MULTITASKING SUCKS”.  Glad to see that the NY Times is on top of today’s news…

In the NYTimes article called “Your Brain on Computers – Attached to Technology and Paying a Price” (or, depending on which version you’re reading, also titled as “Your Brain on Computers – Hooked on Gadgets, and Paying a Mental Price”, take your pick), the NYTimes examines the impact that computers and portable gadgets have on people today, and whether being so surrounded by information and multitasking our way through the Internet marsh is worth it.
