Best/Worst Professions To Date

Posted by Johnny Cat in Everything Else on October 12, 2009 at 6:05 pm

librarian-125So 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

Posted by Alex in Everything Else on September 13, 2009 at 2:44 pm

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

Women Happiest at 28

Posted by Alex in Everything Else on June 27, 2009 at 1:25 pm

A survey of women by hair color products maker Clairol has pinpointed the age of maximum happiness for women:

A spokesman for home hair colour brand Clairol Perfect 10, which carried out the study of 4,000 women, said: "Everything in life hits its peak at some point, and nearly reaching your thirties isn’t so bad now.

"The age of 28 has been pinpointed as the time in a woman’s life their hair looks the best, body shape is at its peak and confidence is at an all-time high.

"The security of your job, having a steady income, being in a relationship and having strong friendships all help create the perfect point in our lives when everything comes together. Reaching and surpassing your twenties no longer triggers the downward spiral of your looks and self-confidence.

5 Kidnap-For-Ransom Stories

Posted by Queuebot in Crime & Law on June 1, 2009 at 2:17 pm

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

Posted by Stacy in Everything Else, Food & Drinks, Science & Tech on February 3, 2009 at 12:20 pm

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.

Female Merit Badges

Posted by Jill Harness in Arts & Crafts, Fashion, Funny, Pictures on January 31, 2009 at 5:27 pm

There’s something delightfully fun about these semi-retro and slightly-sexist female merit badges created by Artist Mary Yeager.

My female merit badges illustrate female “rites of passage” as well as the myriad physical manipulations women undergo to achieve cultural ideals of beauty, such as weight watching, whether or not to shave or wear makeup, etc. I’ve created tiny replicas of female products, such as a birth control pill pack and a pregnancy test. The miniature scale and meticulous, hand-embroidered surfaces convey my impressions of growing up female in our culture.
