Study: Women suppress the sexuality of other women

Leave it to Cleavage
Leave it to Cleavage

It’s true – it’s all about the boobs.

We’ve all seen it, how catty women can get about other women’s appearances?

It’s not just because there’s a superior sense of fashion going on here, women really do have reason to hate other women — and it really does come down to boobs and cleavage.

Latest trend in teenage drinking techniques? Vodka-soaked tampons and “butt chugging”


Smirnoff Vodka

Parents — there’s a disturbing new trend amongst teenagers who are trying to get drunk in the most unique ways possible.

A few years ago, dropping shots of vodka directly into your eyes was the allegedly go-to way to get an instant buzz on.  Today’s kids are a bit more creative:

Is reading while in the bathroom good for you?

Show of hands: how many of you read while sitting on the toilet?

Yeah, we thought so — reading (or using your smartphone or iPad) while dropping the kids off at the pool has become a habit by almost everyone.  Web Watch cringes at those who take their office paperwork with them to the bathroom stall before a meeting, knowing that the next stapled handout we receive may be covered in fecal matter.

Yeah, not a pretty image to think about, is it?  But you’re going to think about it next time you see your boss head to the bathroom before your next staff meeting, aren’t you?  Yeah, we thought so.

Study proves that men really are funnier than women

Web Watch has heard from many entertainment professionals that men are always going to be funnier than women.

 Jerry Lewis said it, others have as well.

Heck, we’ve seen this play out in real life — with women-based comedies often getting short-changed at the movie theater (until Bridesmaids came along to prove everyone wrong).  TV is a different story, with female-lead comedies often leading the ratings, until something Horribly Wrong happens to have those shows suddenly and mysteriously cancelled.

Rosanne?  Laverne & Shirley?  The Lucy Show?   All written by men, we’ll guess.

Even Tina Fey, when she was head writer at SNL, said that it was tough to be a woman working in a man’s world.

Perfect for Halloween – get a mask of your own face

Chimpanzee Alive - Animatronic Robot MonkeyChimpanzee Alive – Animatronic Monkey Robot

Who wouldn’t want to walk into a room full of people all wearing your own face as their Halloween costume?

Or, you could creep people out by “going as yourself” for Halloween, and still fulfilling the requirement of actually wearing a Halloween mask instead of just being a fun-sucker by not participating in the festivities.

Today’s Challenge: How long could you live in a 12′ x 7′ space?

New York Apartments

Today’s challenge? How long would you be able to live in an apartment that was just 11′ long and 7′ wide?

That’s about 78 square feet total.

Do you think you could survive living there overnight?  A week?  How about a month?

Luke Clark Tyler doesn’t see it as a challenge at all — he’s doing it, and paying $750/month for the privilege of LIVING IN A SHOEBOX-SIZED APARTMENT IN NEW YORK CITY.

Survey shows home cooks regularly serve food off the floor

5 Second Rule apron
Buy the 5-SECOND RULE APRON

Web Watch tries to follow a strict rule of thumb when it comes to restaurants that we’ll frequent:  we prefer restaurants with a relatively high health score.

For states that follow letter grades, nothing below an “A”.

For states that follow a numeric scale from 0-100, nothing below a “90”.

We know health inspectors and restaurant owners. We’ve read the restaurant report cards.  We know that the end-resulting score is a negotiation up, rather than a negotiation down.  In other words, if the score is a “81”, you have to wonder what the original score was before the inspector and the restaurant owner came to various agreements over the validity of certain infractions.  To us, that “81” is really a “75”.  And Web Watch refuses to eat at a place where cleanliness is just average.
