The old adage says that animals can smell fear.
According to a recent study that asked for MARRIED AND UNMARRIED PARTNERS TO SMELL EACH OTHERS’ PIT SWEAT, science proves that adage to be true.

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.
According to a study by Charles Gerba – professor of microbiology at the University of Arizona: the AVERAGE PAIR OF UNDERWEAR CONTAINS APPROXIMATELY 1/10th OF A GRAM OF POO.
Gerba says that when you do an entire load of laundry that consists of just underwear, the wash water will contain about 100 million E. coli. That many critters won’t completely wash away when the load is complete, and will remain in the washer to infest the next load of laundry that gets washed.
Autism is one of those conditions whose cause has been difficult to find.
Some parents of autistic children and other autism advocates — as many as one in four parents — have said that CHILDREN’S VACCINES CAUSE AUTISM. Since that original 1998 report proposing that there was a link between vaccination shots and autism came out, further studies since then have SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN THAT NO SUCH LINK EXISTS.
After yesterday’s WEB WATCH post about the percentage of herpes infections in the US, we received a few questions about one of the CDC’s survey results that stated that more women than men suffered from herpes.
The question? “Why?”
While we know some men can be sleeping around with more than one partner, that certainly doesn’t mean that men are the sole means that the herpes virus can get spread around.
Leave it to more scientific studies to help Web Watch out when we need to know more about herpes in just a few days than we ever thought was reasonable.
Here’s a LITTLE KNOWN NASA FACT that you won’t often hear on any space-oriented TV show or VIP tour: astronauts can propel themselves through space by using their pee as a propulsion method.
It’s true.
It’s been commonly reported that MEN THINK ABOUT SEX EVERY SEVEN SECONDS. But that’s not the only thing that scientists have proven about how men’s brains work.
If you consider these following ten items and compare them to what you know about the men in your life, you may be surprised about what is going on inside that noggin. Here are TEN THINGS EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW ABOUT A MAN’S BRAIN:
