Believe it or not

Wednesday, November 19th, 2008

The good folks over at Cracked.com have a collection of photos that have been circling the web for awhile, but contrary to all belief are not Photoshopped! (For some great Photoshopped pics, scroll down to the Thanksgiving post below!)

Below are some of the unreal-but-utterly-real shots.

You know you’re from Charlotte when…

Friday, November 14th, 2008

From the great minds over at Facebook, a list of Charlotte-centric facts:

1. You can’t drive a mile in any direction without seeing yet another Harris Teeter

2. You know someone who has hit a deer while driving

3. You understand that Charlotte has four seasons: Humid, Very Humid, Insanely Humid, and Christmas

4. You thought Discovery Place was the best thing ever when you were a kid

5. People clean out the grocery stores whenever snow is forecast, and then it snows a quarter of an inch

7. Everyone wears flip-flops in January…and can get away with it

8. No matter what you do or where you go, some crazy SUV driver will cut you off

How do they do it??!

Healthy sex

Thursday, November 13th, 2008

Courtesy of the land down under (Australia for the slow among us), a list of 56 healthy reasons for us ladies to have crazy hot sex:

1. US endocrinologists at Columbia University found that women who have sex at least once a week have more regular menstrual cycles than those who are less sack-happy.

2. Sex makes you happier than money does, according to a recent US study.

3. Work off those Mars Pods without hitting the treadmill. One 30-minute roll in the hay burns about 840kJ.

4. Nookie helps the brain produce neuro-transmitters, chemical messengers that help mellow our moods.

5. Get more zzzzs. Getting a sensual massage followed by some dancing in the sheets releases sleep-inducing endorphins so you snooze soundly.

6. Post-romp, you’ll experience a surge in the hormone prolactin, which develops new neurons in the brain’s olfactory bulb, improving your sense of smell.

7. Unless you’re a kinky, wayward politician, it’s free!

8. Kick colds to the curb. Researchers at Wilkes University, US, found that having sex once or twice a week boosts the immune system by 30 per cent.

9. Protect pearly whites by stepping up to the mic. Semen contains small amounts of zinc, calcium and minerals proven to fight tooth decay.

10. Watch a Sex and The City marathon without constant bathroom breaks. Sex tones the pelvic muscles that support your uterus, bladder and bowel, meaning better pee control.

’80s Cartoons

Wednesday, November 12th, 2008

I had a conversation with a comic book geek the other day and he said He-Man sucked.

I was appalled because I thought all comic book geeks loved He-Man. Then I started thinking about 1980s cartoons. I’ll admit it, I loved He-Man and the Masters of the Universe as well as She-Ra: Princess of Power.

Watch this mini-sode and tell me it doesn’t bring back memories:

But this has to be the best cartoon of the 1980s:

Lindsay Lohan calls Obama ‘colored’

Wednesday, November 12th, 2008

The headline says it all. LL’s a moron:

Take those loser signs down

Thursday, November 6th, 2008

The election is finally over. And it’s sad to say that your guy or girl lost.

Do the neighborhood a favor and take those loser signs down. Especially if you’ve been broadcasting your support for a candidate since the primaries, it’s time to let the signs go. Seriously, you’re bringing down the property values with those losers’ names on your front lawn.

I’m pretty sure your neighbors who supported the other guy or girl laugh every time they pass your house. And yes, they are laughing at you and not with you. Besides, with the election being over, it’s time to decorate for Christmas. (more…)

Sarah Palin gets pranked

Tuesday, November 4th, 2008

Two radio DJs from Montreal got Sarah Palin on the phone and pranked her by posing as French President Nicolas Sarkozy. And she fell for it!

Palin’s people confirm that the call did occur. Read about it here.

Palin probably shot whoever screens her calls.
