BATTLE OF THE SEXES
Hmmmm... new research studied
how men and women react to temptation. The study found that
when a man meets a single, attractive woman, he is more likely to have negative feelings towards his current partner. But
when a woman meets an attractive, single man, it makes her think about ways of strenghtening her current relationship.
So what can conclude here? My guess is that men get angry so they can hide those feelings of guilt of being attracted to someone else. Women, on the other hand, think that if they find someone else attractive, then something must be wrong with their current relationship, so they focus on improving what may not be wrong in the first place.
Four words:
Relax...you are human!
FUNNY!
Great article:
what doctors really think about you.
Readers Digest interviewed two dozen doctors for its article called:
"41 Things Doctors Never Tell You"
“I am utterly tired of being your mother. Every time I see you, I have to say the obligatory, “You need to lose some weight.” But you swear you “don’t eat anything.”
— Cardiologist, Brooklyn, N.Y.
“I wish patients would take more responsibility for their own health and stop relying on me to bail them out of their own problems.”
— ER physician, Colorado Springs, Colo.
“When a doctor tells you to lose 15 to 20 pounds, what they really mean is you need to lose 50.”
— Tamara Merritt, Family physician, Brewster, Wash.
On being sued...
“Not a day goes by when I don’t think about the potential for being sued. It makes me give patients a lot of unnecessary tests that are potentially harmful, just so I don’t miss an injury or problem that comes back to haunt me in the form of a lawsuit”
— ER Physician, Colorado Springs, Colo.
On being good looking...
“In most branches of medicine we deal more commonly with old people. So we become much more enthusiastic when a young person comes along. Doctors have a limited amount of time, so the younger and more attractive you are, the more likely you are to get more of our time.”
— Family physician, Washington, D.C.
On waiting and waiting and waiting...
“Doctors are only interested in whether they are inconvenienced — most don’t care if you have to wait for them.”
— Family physician, Washington, D.C.
When to schedule surgery...
“Avoid Friday afternoon surgery. The day after surgery is when most problems happen. If the next day is Saturday, you’re flying by yourself without a safety net.”
— Heart Surgeon, New York City

GAS TIP OF THE DAY
Use the Recommended Grade of Motor Oil
API energy conservation labelYou can improve your gas mileage by 1-2 percent by using the manufacturer's recommended grade of motor oil. For example, using 10W-30 motor oil in an engine designed to use 5W-30 can lower your gas mileage by 1-2 percent. Using 5W-30 in an engine designed for 5W-20 can lower your gas mileage by 1-1.5 percent. Also, look for motor oil that says "Energy Conserving" on the API performance symbol to be sure it contains friction-reducing additives.

BATTLE OF THE SEXES
Tattoo regrets... did you know that
women were more likely to regret getting a tattoo? A survey by Texas Tech found that 80% of those with a tattoo are pleased, but
6% will eventually undergo procedures to erase them. Of those, two-thirds are women.
Why? They says the tattoo is just flat out embarrassing.
Speaking of embarrassing...
check out a gallery of tattoos --
that are misspelled! (NOTE:
Language!)
Also, a man is suing over a misspelled tat.
GAS TIP OF THE DAY
Close your windows
Believe it or not, opening your windows will increase the turbulences and eventually cost you fuel. If you can, use only the ventilation system of your car. I cannot really gauge this against using the air conditioner. I believe that opening your windows at low speeds and using the air conditioner at high speeds gives you better fuel economy.

Interesting Note:
Just like during the Arab oil embargo 30 years ago, traffic deaths around the country are plummeting. As the price of gas increases, traffic deaths decrease. There was a 9% drop in auto related deaths through May compared with the same time period a year ago. Some states are showing a decline of 20% or more.

BATMAN ARRESTED!
Early reports yesterday indicated
Christian Bale was tracked down by London police and arrested for assaulting his mother and sister. Bale's lawyer, though, says
The Dark Knight star
showed up on his own to the police station to explain his side of the story. He then left the station on his own without being charged. Bale's sister and mother claim
he lashed out at them at London's Dorchester Hotel. TMZ reports that Bale pushed his mom out of the way during a fight, but she was not hurt and did not fall down. Feelings were obviously hurt pretty bad, though, enough for a mom to report her son to the police.
BUSTED
Anyone watch the show
Greek? Then you'll know the character
"Cappie" who plays the president of the wild Kappa Tau fraternity. Anyway, the guy that plays him,
Scott Michael Foster, was
busted for driving drunk early Monday morning. The star was busted on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood at 12:20 a.m. Monday, and was released a few hours later. He reported to the set of
Greek later in the day "focused and ready to work."
GOLDEN GIRL DIES
Golden Girl Estelle Getty ("Sophia") died yesterday at her home in Los Angeles. She was 85. Here's a little of her comedic genius.

Good Morning American yesterday that she was not in the right frame of mind.
"I think I was just in a stage where I was just trying to get things done, and maybe look for an older audience. I was working with a big magazine just trying to go with what they were saying." You can watch the interview

BATTLE OF THE SEXES
Take a look at this photo... notice anything?
The opening line in the
Courier Mail says it all:
"FRANTIC police smashed a window to rescue a seemingly unconscious baby from a locked vehicle in Gympie only to find an extremely lifelike doll."
Yes, these are dolls. Wow, that would FREAK me out if I saw these dudes in a hot car. There was a similiar story in the US where police shattered the window of a Hummer to rescue what they thought was a baby, only it -- again-- was a doll.
Vynette Cernik created the life-like dolls and sells them for $1,000 (yes, for one). They have eyelashes, fingernails, milk spots and weigh as much as a real baby. Cernik says "You don't stop playing with dolls because you grow old. You grow old because you stop playing with dolls."
ooookay.
MONEY
Who costs more to raise -- a boy or girl??? Interesting question, huh? Well, we finally know the answer.
Boys.
A new study finds
boys cost $14-thousand more than girls to raise. It seems all those gadgets and sports are what get ya. The biggest expense for both boys and girls is clothing with, again, more being spent on boys than girls.
Of course girls more than make up for it in the drama department! Pick your poison!
GAS TIP OF THE DAY
Ditch the body!
Remove excess weight from the trunk. Avoid carrying unneeded items, especially heavy ones. An extra 100 pounds in the trunk reduces a typical car's fuel economy by one to two percent. |
