While I think this is a GREAT idea and is well overdue in society, I’m still having trouble with the method with which the liquid is released. The picture above is of a product called the Freedom Flask and it helps you take liquor into places that bringing your own is frowned upon. For example, instead of paying $25 per shot at a club, you can bring your own with you and “pee” it into your cup. I say pee because the device is strapped to your stomach like a fanny pack and then a tube hangs down so you can open your zipper and dispence the fluid easily. They made a video that you can watch after the jump! Continue reading

Homework Is Bad For You
Where was this study when I was in school? I don’t think I hated many things about school as much as I did homework. I mean, you have me for 6 hours EVERYDAY. if you can’t teach me what I need to know in that time then you should reconsider your career. Thankfully those Aussies are on top of things like this.
A study out of Australia shows that homework Continue reading
Graeter’s Mystery Flavor Revealed
After being on a diet for 6 weeks I was in desperate need of some delicious ice cream. Then I passed a place named Graeter’s. I had heard a few people mention it before and was curious to see if they could live up to my ice cream standards. So i strolled in and got the BEST banana split of my life! 3 flavors of ice cream and tons of toppings, but the one that stole the show was the Strawberry ice cream with chocolate chips in it. (my stomach is growling at the thought of it) Needless to say, they are my new ice cream supplier.
I brought this up because they have revealed the name of their secret flavor this morning. If you have been there lately you may have gotten to taste it. If you haven’t then I think just the name of it will make you stop on the way home and get some. The Mystery Flavor is officailly “Cake Batter Fudge Brownie” and it’s made with Cake Batter flavored ice cream mixed with chunks of hand-crafted brownies. (I know right!) it will be available through June and you will probably run into me there everyday until they kick me out!
Say Bye-Bye To Your BFF
If this starts to pick up in the US I think Facebook is going to get even worse! So apparently you are no longer allowed to have a “Best Friend” in some schools in the U.K. (What?) Teachers are actually banning students from having one and instead forcing them to socialize in groups. I don’t know about you, but having a best friend made it a WHOLE lot wasier getting through school. From not walking home alone, to having someone to cheat off of in math class. What possible reason could they have to ban kids from having a cheating buddy!
Educational psychologist Gaynor Sbuttoni explains:
Ohio Hates Sex
Ok, maybe not HATE but Ohioans sure don’t value it that much. Chemistry.com surveyed 10 MILLION users and one of the questions they asked was “How much do you value sex?” Then they took that data and matched it up to the cities they lived in and made a list of the top 10 cities who value sex the most and the least. 8 of the top ten who value it most are in California and 3 of the top ten who value it the least are in Ohio. Including Dayton (where I live). See the lists after the jump!

Why I Hate Flying!
Everytime I get on a plane, I hate flying even more by the time I land. The take off, all the weird sounds, people joining the mile high club in the seat across from me. On top of that I watch all those “Seconds From Disaster” shows on Nat Geo. Most of them are on planes where one little screw wasn’t bolted on correctly and the plane goes down! What I don’t need to deal with is the pilot losing him mind and telling me there is a bomb on the plane. However, that just happened on a JetBlue flight yesterday from New York to Las Vegas.
.
Apparently the pilot didn’t take his medication or something and started shouting in the aisles that terrorists have put a bomb on the plane and telling everyone they were going to die. THE PILOT! Can’t we trust anyone anymore? Thankfully there was no bomb and passengers and flight attendants Continue reading
FOX is 25 Years Old
How am I older than the FOX Network? That’s not supposed to happen! Well to celebrate their 25th Anniversary they are going to bring back some of the FOX classics for the TV Party. Including a special revival of “In Living Color.” Fox plans on getting the X-Files team back together again to answer the lingering question we have always wanted the answer too “What’s out there?” They also plan to get the “Married With Children” cast back together for a reunion as well. They may even show some love to “The Tick”
Those were the good ol’ days of TV! Not to sound like “that guy” but it was pretty good TV. I do enjoy a lot of the shows out now as well so don’t get me wrong. However, everything has been dumbed down because of all the reality shows out there… now I really sound like the old guy. Anyway, what shows would you like to see have a reunion, from ANY network.
Chocolate Makes You Skinny!
You read that title correctly. Finally scientist are studying things that I actually care about, Chocolate! Someone better send a notice to the Walgreens on my route home because I’m buying all of their Easter candy. Ok, maybe not ALL the candy…just the chocolate Snicker eggs. So good. Anyway back to the story, scientists at the University Of California, San Diego have proven that eating chocolate actually makes you skinny. Im sure that doens’t mean you should eat a pound of it a day, but we can hope right?
They tested over 1000 healthy men and women who worked out at least 3.6 times a week and ate a balanced nutritional diet. Some of them were given a reasonable amount of chocolate to comsume 5 times a week and some were not. Well, they found the ones that ate the chocolate had a smaller body mass index than those who ate it less often. This worked for a couple of reasons, check them out after the jump!
Harry Potter Goes Digital
Good news for the Harry Potter fans out there. If you have a kindle and have been dying to get ahold of the entire Harry Potter series digitally, your wish has finally come true. They were supposed to be released back in October but due to some complications with the website they are on, they pushed them back until now. The only place you can currently get them is at JK Rowling’s Pottermore.com website.
Banned From Competing
This Canadian model has been banned from competing in Miss Universe Canada. Is it because she drove drunk and got caught? A shady past she forgot to mention to the producers? How about a picture showing her dancing on a stripper pole? Nope, you will never guess the reason. Click the jump to find out the truth and see more pictures!
