Fairy tales for the rest of us

Do you remember the FRACTURED FAIRY TALES segment on the Rocky and Bullwinkle Show?

That’s where the show would tell slighty edited, oddball versions of classic stories – occasionally with a modern twist.

A urine taster knows what your pee says about you

Be honest – have you ever tasted your own pee, either on purpose or by accident?

Don’t be shy – we know that there’s at least one of you out there who’ve done it.  Astronauts have – their on-board drinking water is partially made from recycled urine.

Pictures of Couples Who Dress Alike, but aren’t twins. (Don’t be these people)

It’s almost Halloween time, and that time of year when spouses everwhere dread those two awful words:

“Couples’ Costume”

You never want to be THAT couple at a Halloween party, where your costume depends on your spouse to be around in order to complete the picture.  You don’t want to be dressed as an electric plug, and not have your outlet nearby – if you know what we mean.

Breast Cancer Awareness: Grow Your Pits For …

Are you someone who would like to participate in any number of October’s traditional charity functions to raise money to battle breast cancer or otherwise raise awareness, but just don’t feel like – or unable to – going on a two- or three-day walk?

Maybe you’re a bit tired of eating all that Yoplait yogurt and saving up all the pink tops, and you are purposefully avoiding catering to any company that decides to “Go Pink” as a marketing ploy.

So what is there that you can do that’s a little bit off the beaten path, but still gives you an opportunity to show that you are supportive of a very important cause?  After all, men have MOVEMBER, so what’s a woman to do?

What is the best word ever?

What is the best word ever?

Some would say that it comes down to the most commonly-used words like “like”, “dude”, or the ever popular “fck”.  Some people – like your English teachers – would hope that the Best Word Ever would be something a bit more egalitarian.

Statistics: Deaths on Star Trek (or, why wear a red shirt when other colors will do?)

What’s the toughest job in the universe?

Being a red shirt-wearing character on the classic TV showSTAR TREK.

Countless stories, articles, and jokes have been written about the high mortality rate of those ill-fated crew members who always seem to find themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time on planetary excursions.

Web Watch would chalk this up to mis-management by the ship’s captain and his commanding officers, but Captain Kirk would never see things that way.  He was on a five-year mission, dammit.

Embrace your future: one of these 75 cities is where you want to be

The future is a scary place, in part because nobody who’s been sent there in a time machine has ever come back (that we know of).

So we don’t have any future warnings of things that might be if we don’t change our ways.

Quick poll: should you go naked when you get a massage?

Quick poll:  should you get naked when you go to your spa for a massage or other treatment?

For those who are not familiar with getting a professional massage, such as at a spa or a resort, one of the most frequently asked questions is whether you should strip down nude or not.

Web Watch will make one part of this easy for you: if you’re getting one of those fancy poolside massages while on a beach vacation, chances are that you’ll want to keep your swimsuit on rather than get naked in front of the everyone enjoying their day in the sun.  You may be in a cabana, but cabanas aren’t always as private as they may seem.

In other words, save the nudity for the treatment room.
