Web Watch loves a good bagel.
We know that the best bagel places are always right next door to the city’s best chinese restaurants. We don’t know why this is (shrimp & lobster sauce is kosher, right?), but we’ve seen the two together more often than not.
So of course we read THE HISTORY OF THE BAGEL GUILLOTINE SLICER in the Wall Street Journal, where we learned about the most dangerous foods that cause the most emergency room visits.
Have you done your part to pay down the national debt?
Your share is just $39,000. In the big picture, that really isn’t all that much if you think about it.

A Russian woman set the record for having birthed the most children in her 27 pregnancies: 69. The brood included sixteen pairs of twins, seven sets of triplets, and four sets of quadruplets.
And that’s just the first of 10 SURPRISING SEXUAL STATISTICS that LiveScience has tracked down for those of us at Web Watch. The other nine include these gems:
According to a recent study conducted by Captain Obvious (really, BYU lead researcher Brian Willoughby) and printed in the Journal of American College Health, COED DORMS LEAD TO OUTRAGEOUS AMOUNTS OF SEX AND AN OVERABUNDANCE OF DRINKING.
The survey of 500 students took place at two midwestern public universities and a west coast university, and the east coast was represented by a liberal arts college and a religious university.
The study found that students in coed housing were…

Web Watch has a TiVo for one thing – to make watching television easier and more fun (unlike other folks who solely use TiVo or other DVRs to skip commercials). We do admit that we skip commercials, but we’ll often go back to watch some of the ones that look more interesting… like movie trailers, or something new that hasn’t been seen before.
But it did get Web Watch wondering… HOW MUCH ARE THE NETWORKS CHARGING PER 30-SECOND AD IN PRIMETIME?
And now we know. Let’s take a look at how much some of Web Watch’s current favorite shows are doing per 30-second spot:

October was breast cancer awareness month, as Web Watch noted by sharing National Feel Your Boobies Week and other sites with you.
Not to feel left out, November is dedicated to raising awareness of various men’s cancers, with programs encouraging men to get prostate exams or testicular cancer checks.
Which is why every November, men are encouraged to sign up at the official MOVEMBER website to help spread the word and raise money for various organizations.
Why “Movember”, you ask? It’s all about the “Mo”.

Web Watch has been a huge fan of ANTVILLE’s VIDEO BLOG, which regularly lists some of the newest, greatest, most interesting music videos available online.
This week, Antville has decided to release what they are calling THE 101 TOP MUSIC VIDEOS OF THE DECADE, and with the number one spot being taken by the White Stripes’ FELL IN LOVE WITH A GIRL, Web Watch really can’t say that Antville got it wrong.
But what were the rest of the top ten of the 424 that Antville put up for vote?

National Feel Your Boobies Week continues…
If you haven’t noticed, October brings with it not just the black-and-orange fun of Halloween, but also the ubiquitious pink ribbon-emblazoned products that companies issue to show their support for breast cancer research.
Web Watch 100% supports donating to research and the good that comes from that – whether it be for breast cancer or any other charitable cause of your choice.
However, where the pink ribbon on products was once seen as solely as a philanthopic device has turned into something much more: Just Another Marketing Ploy.
Why buy these regular spatulas when you can buy a pink spatula?
Why buy just any room circulation fan when you can buy a room circulator fan that has a pink ribbon on it?
Just browse Amazon or your favorite local store this month, and you’ll see any number of pink and ribbonized items that serve no real purpose when compared to their normal-colored counterparts sold throughout the rest of the year.
