Dogs are welcoming our robot overlords

Remember when Web Watch told you about how dogs prefer to eat human food?  Or, at the very least, they prefer to eat food that their human shows them is good to eat?

It ends up that dogs really are more aware of the people around them than we give them credit for. Perhaps the “man’s best friend” term really isn’t just a phrase, but something true and real.

Proof that you can pee in the ocean

Web Watch knows that swimming in the ocean isn’t for everyone.  If you think about it, you’re swimming in the same water that billions (billions of trillions?) of fish use as their personal bathroom every day.

What your sleep habits say about you

How many hours of sleep do you need a night?

Some people religiously go to bed at 10pm and wake up at 5am, a good seven hours of sleep every night.  They are also likely to have a decent breakfast and workout before heading off to be at the office before everyone else.

These go-getters tend to piss off everyone else around them, don’t they?
