How much time have you spent contemplating your underwear?
Ladies – we all know that you have segregated your underwear drawer into “everyday”, “date night”, “special occasion”, and “laundry day” categories. There may be more, but women seldom like to be privvy to their private stash.
Men, on the other hand, have “everyday”, “laundry”, and “not quite laundry”.

It should be an obvious conclusion: if you’re having lots of sex — and Web Watch is talking about you having way more sex than your peers are — then you shouldn’t be surprised if those same peers have a lower opinion of you.
Which does lead to the obvious question, if you’re not having all that extra sex with your peers — then who ARE you having all that sex with? But we digress…lets get back to the question at hand…

Web Watch has told you about DIRTY HOTEL ROOMS before.
And you all know people who travel with a Ziploc bag in their luggage, specifically to use with the TV remote control, as Web Watch has mentioned that the TV remote in a hotel room is pretty much germ central.
But it ends up that the hotel room TV remote is NOT the dirtiest item in your dirty hotel room.

What’s the strangest thing you’ve ever done in an elevator?
Web Watch has only been stuck in an elevator twice before, and both times not for very long. The first time, we had to climb out of the elevator on a step ladder that had been lowered in from the upper floor. Made for some rather amusing anecdotes with the upper management we were stuck with, that’s for sure.
But we really weren’t concerned, and the jokes weren’t nearly that funny.

Bachelors, have you ever wondered why you’re going deeper and deeper into debt while your married friends seem to always be buying the latest cars, houses, or electronics?
It’s not because of the “Marriage Tax” or the deductions that their brood of kids gives them.
No, it’s because those married men aren’t wasting their financial resources on dating. Sure, there are other monetary obligations that arise from a serious relationship, but overall you can expect that you’ll spend less money when you’re devoted to a single woman than you will when you’re hounddogging around town after every piece of tail that’s out there.

Have you ever written a quick text message, Twitter comment, or email to someone – intended to be a joke – and have it be completely misinterpreted?
There’s a reason why emoticons have become so widespread :) .
It’s because on the Internet, nobody can really tell if what they’re reading is supposed to be taken at face value or if it should be treated like a joke.

Have you ever considered going into politics?
Sure, there’s some fame and fortune involved, plus the added bonus of actually feeling like you’re giving something back to the community that you represent. This may work best in smaller cities and neighborhoods — being the president of your local Homeowners Association requires a completely different skillset than being the Mayor of your town.
Just like being Mayor requires different skills in some podunk town in the middle of nowhere than it does being Mayor of a major metropolitan city.
Face it – if too many cows on your byways is the biggest problem you have to deal with, then you’re not quite ready to attack the Major Politics of Today.
All that’s not to say that representing a small political arena is for dumb people, and only smart people can manuever around Big City or National politics.
But maybe there are some trends that can identify whether the person representing your best interests is as smart as they can be when compared to their compatriots.
For instance, according to SUNLIGHT LABS analysis of the members of congress and how they use language, they can identify who present themselves at a higher-intelligent level vs those in congress is try to talk to the lowest-common denominator.
Using some analysis of speeches that all Congressional members have made, they’ve been able to determine the grade level that each Congressman typically speak at.
From a trending perspective, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that as more and more years pass, Congressional speech patterns are getting worse and worse. Web Watch calls it the MTV Effect (or, to update for the 21st century – the YouTube Effect). Shorter attention spans and the rise of quick edit TV newscasts has resulted in what is – in effect – representatives that have lost the ability to sound like they’re talking intelligently.
They all may be extremely smart individuals. But they’re certainly not all presenting themselves that way.
Let’s look at the LOWEST RANKING CONGRESSIONAL MEMBERS and their level of grade school talk:
vs
(Just go with the grades higher than 12 to be collegiate level. Web Watch is just reporting what’s in the data, not making judgements on how its interpreted.)
Some of what the analysis shows is:

Maybe our parents weren’t that dumb after all.
When Web Watch was younger, we recall that our parents did something a bit unusual with all their friends: when one of the children got sick, the parents would insist that all the kids would then have to get together and play until all the kids were sick at the same time.
This is, if our memory is correct about the situation, how all of the kids we knew ended up with the chicken pox at the exact same time.
From a parenting viewpoint, it was probably good planning; they got all their own kids through the fun of being all itchy and scratchy at the same time as all of the classmates did. It must have been like a chicken pox epidemic at that school.
Yes, Web Watch grew up in the age of “chickenpox parties”. We really don’t hear of those happening today, do we?
