Best/Worst Professions To Date
So the gals over at Lemondrop and the guys over at Asylum each came up with a list. What are the best professions to date, and what are the worst, regarding both men and women?
While these definitely qualify as stereotypical, the results are pretty funny; just remember that grain of salt.
Best – Librarian
She’ll be pretty smart about lots of random things, great at Googling and a good connection for free books. Bonus: say goodbye to those nasty overdue charges. Plus, everyone knows librarians are sexual dynamos waiting to explode. Right?Worst – Singer/Entertainer
There may be potential perks if she makes it to the big-time, but it’s statistically likely she’s not very good at what she does and you’ll have twice the fibbing to do in your relationship, answering not only “How does this look?” but the frequent “Did you like my show?”

Men Lie 6X a Day, Twice That of Women
Congressman
Joe Wilson - you know, the guy who skyrocketed to fame for yelling "You
lie" during a speech by President Obama - is technically correct.
Kind of.
According to this new "study" by 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment. It finds that men lie an average of six times a day - twice as much as women:
Researchers found the average man tells six fibs a day to their partner, boss and work colleagues - a total of 42 each week.
That amounts to 2,184 a year or a staggering 126,672 over the average lifetime.
Top ten lies men tell:
1. Nothing's wrong, I'm fine
2. This will be my last pint
3. No, your bum doesn't look big in that
4. I had no signal
5. My battery died
6. Sorry, I missed your call
7. I didn't have that much to drink
8. I'm on my way
9. It wasn't that expensive
10. I'm stuck in traffic

5 Kidnap-For-Ransom Stories
Holding a person for ransom makes big headlines, but years later or in another placec, you may not be familiar with these stories that gripped the public in their time.
The kidnapping and murder of Charles Augustus Lindbergh, Jr., son of aviator Charles Lindbergh occurred in 1932 and was one of the most horrific crimes of its time, prompting the “Lindbergh Law”, which made kidnapping a federal crime. (Prior to, it was classified as a local crime.)

Women Smell Like Onions; Men Smell Like Cheese
And together, we smell like a quesadilla? OK, maybe not. But a company in Geneva that researches flavors and smells for the food and perfume industry did find that men and women smell like those respective foods when they sweat. Women release a compound containing sulphur that smells like onion when mixed with bacteria like that found in armpits, and men release high levels of a fatty acid that smells like cheese when mixed with the same bacteria.
Weird.

Disneyland for Dudes
Männerspielplatz is a 17-acre theme park in Germany with a real theme. The name translates to “men’s playground”.
For 219 euros (about $280), patrons can spend the day operating 29-ton Liebherr backhoes and 32-ton Komatsu front-end loaders, off-roading through the woods in a Mercedes-built Unimog, peeling out in a Suzuki SUV, and slinging some mud on quad bikes.
The park began as a one-time promotion that became permanent when more and more patrons wanted to have some fun. The biggest customers are women, however, who buy tickets as gifts for men. Link

CrapWrap
A woman can usually tell if her husband, boyfriend, or son wrapped a Christmas gift himself or had the store do it. Not anymore! A British shop will specially wrap a gift badly, so it appears the buyer attempted to give it the personal touch.
Firebox.com is paying 20 of its male forklift truck drivers and warehouse assistants to wrap presents as quickly as possible, using ugly brown duct tape and very little care.
And the $9 service, cheekily called CrapWrap, has attracted more than 500 customers since it launched last week.
Whether it’s a book, DVD or something trickier such as a kitchen utensil, the team guarantees to make a mess of it.
I still don’t know any man who would pay $9 rather than having the pros (or Mom) wrap a gift for him. Link -Thanks, Bill!
