The Science of Booty Calls [Infographic]

Aug 4th

Posted by xtropha78 in News

No comments

A fairly serious new study — one that actually contains the words “booty call” in its title — breaks down what’s missing in your sex life, and how to compromise.

…If you appreciate romance with your casual sex such as hugging and holding hands a one-night stand is preferable to a long-term affair. If you’re feeling extremely horny, however, the latter is ideal. And if you can’t get enough oral sex, you belong in a loving relationship. This is according to University of South Alabama psychology professor Peter K. Jonason, who is not your typical shrink.

Jonason’s latest paper, “Positioning the Booty Call Relationship on the Spectrum of Relationships,” analyzes the dynamics of modern dating. He has conducted numerous studies, and concluded that the binary dichotomy of “hookup versus commitment” is obsolete. An increasingly popular third category blends the two. “Booty calls are a compromise between men’s and women’s ideals,” Jonason says. “The booty call relationship gives the guy easy access to sex, and gives the woman a steady partner.”

But it’s not that simple. Women care more about personality, which you already knew (”a woman’s personality is not particularly…

Who knew Milhouse was so dangerous?

…There’s not a single teacher in the public school system of Philadelphia who wants to spend tons of his free time with several of his students. Just ask Will Smith. Picture “Silence Of The Lambs” but with Mr. Feeny playing Hannibal Lecter. See how easy that was? It actually felt kinda right. That’s because you just realized what has been in front of you for so long: this low talking, mustache wearing old dude in the backyard talking to little kids is more than just a little creepy. Eli Roth should do a gruesome re-boot of the series as a horror film and call it “Goodnight, Mr. Matthews.”…

Kermit the Demon (pic)

…Actually, Kermit was bought out by the ecologists and flipped his view on how easy it is to be green. If you look at any of Kermit’s recent statements on the subject, you’ll see that he now claims It’s easy being green!
It’s so sad when a celebrity sells out like that. I wonder what his new hippie benefactors would say about the scandalous image above though, considering that in the image Kermit is, quite clearly, eating meat….

6 Great Novels that Were Hated in Their Time

Jul 25th

Posted by zanx in News

Many, if not most, of the books you were handed in high school as required reading were hated by critics and readers alike when they first hit shelves.

…6.
Brave New World by Aldous Huxley

The Story You Know:
It’s Aldous Huxley’s chilling 1932 tale about a future centered upon sex, drug, and assembly-line worship, depicting humanity caught in an endless cycle of buying gizmos, working trivial jobs and taking drugs to make the depression go away.

Unfortunately, its main characters do not look this awesome.
How Poorly it Was Received:
Critical reaction to Brave New World was “largely chilly,” which is the short way of saying that it did to the literary world what Willy Wonka’s boat ride did to your childhood.

Gaze into the face of madness.
The result was an outright panic of literary criticism which resulted in the book getting universally panned, and ultimately selling only a few thousand copies upon its release in the U.S. Why? Everybody hated his vision of the future.
Even fellow futurists like H.G. Wells were shocked by the book’s dystopian landscape. Despite being the same man who wrote War of the Worlds, Wells describe Brave New World’s bleak future…

How texts, tweets, emails can haunt sender

Jul 24th

People should think twice before hitting ’send’

…and that effort in turn feeds the appetite of the public for ever-edgier soundbites and ever-sharper commentary about it. With competition among outlets ever fiercer, the race to denigrate, deride or otherwise diss the party who blabbed or confessed or was simply caught off-guard has become an ever faster one.
Perhaps it’s because people are constantly plugged in to media devices of one sort or another and thus increasingly tuned out to the people immediately around them, casual conversations with passers-by, neighbors or strangers are increasingly perceived as odd if not downright icky.
So, with the media ever alert to picking up anything potentially audience-grabbing or arresting, it’s surprising that anyone feels they can speak freely — and yet they do, ever more carelessly, a few even recklessly. Sometimes they can’t help themselves.
There’s so much digital dissonance out there, and so few ways to break through the clutter, that the impetus to be out there and outrageous apparently has become very…

Sex Makes You Smarter- Can ‘Virtual Sex’ Do The Same?

Jul 23rd

Posted by nimbyx in News

No comments

It has been known for quite some time that exercise promotes neurogenesis, but now a study claims that the most intimate form of exercise - sexual activity - can produce the same effects. And better yet- having multiple, repeated sexual experiences results in a greater positive effect than a single experience alone.

…Count me in for that research as well.
To be fair, though, sex does not make you more intelligent. It does simulate neural growth, but it is not neural growth in respect to your understanding quantum mechanics, economic theory or an understanding of the universe in general. It stimulates neural growth in respect to that person, the specific experience and the related experiences. It works to ingratiate the person to your mind and encourages future socializing with that person, perhaps, even socialization in general. Not that the temporary increase in neural function cannot be used toward more “substantial” memories, but how often does someone pick up a book and start reading after really great sex? Or how often does a person leave the bed, kitchen counter, the alley behind some random bar or the top of a washing machine at some 24 hr laundry mat and put that person they were just with, intimately, out of mind and begin to think about the behavior of strings or sociopolitical ramifications of the downfall of…

Microsoft Killed Plans For "PC vs Xbox 360" Online Play?

Jul 22nd

Posted by Gagekeemn in News

No comments

The concept was to bridge the gap between Xbox Live and Windows Live, allowing players from both platforms to play games like Gears of War and Unreal Tournament.

…I’ve heard from reliable sources that during the development they brought together the best console gamers to play mediocre PC gamers at the same game… and guess what happened? They pitted console gamers with their “console” controller, against PC gamers with their keyboard and mouse.
The console players got destroyed every time. So much so that it would be embarrassing to the XBOX team in general had Microsoft launched this initiative….

Attention Second Lifers: Are you afraid, even in your fantasy worlds, of new experiences? Your avatar might be a candidate, then, for a psychotropic drug called, Virta-Flaneurazine, designed to treat Wanderlust Deficit Disorder — in other words, Internet addiction.

…T Aria and make plans for the evening in North Adams.And if I needed to get online with my laptop at some point, I could have caught a Wi-Fi signal at a cafe in town.But keeping mobile gadgets charged in the countryside remains a challenge. Who wants to hike back to the car to recharge hardware, or schlep into town to find a wall outlet?For years, there have been plenty of hand-held solar devices that can charge your phone over the course of an afternoon. Now, ThinkGeek (www.thinkgeek.com) says it has a $200 solar charger mighty enough to bring a laptop to life.Called the Huge Capacity Solar Charger and Battery, it measures 8-by-11 inches and is less than an inch thick. The downside for backpackers and campers is that it weighs almost four pounds a substantial addition to the more than 50 pounds you might be shouldering.The charger can take up to 10 hours to reach a full charge in the sun. From an outlet, you will only need three hours.It comes with dozens of adapters, making it compatible with most major…

Why is the Xbox 360 Still Outselling PS3 in North America?

Jul 20th

Posted by Jane in News

Sony has had a tremendous year with its Playstation 3 console. But despite all of the great headlines, why do sales of the PS3 continue to lag behind Microsoft’s?

…Wow Joe… any more spin?

The PS3 has by far more AAA exclusives. Threefold as many as the 360… stop living in a dream world. I’m not even counting the fact that half of the 360 games have a better version on PC, and aren’t really exclusive. When you consider that, the number is rather pathetic.

COD exclusive content is not a big deal, because you are brainwashed once again, you microdrone. It’s timed exclusive, in other words, it’s not exclusive and is being marketed as such. PS3 will get it eventually. Unlike every other game where exclusive content will be on PS3 only FOREVER. Dead Space 2, Assassin’s Creed, Medal of Honor, Mafia 2… you get the picture.

And the XMB is a million times better than that crappy wii-ripoff operating system. Give your head a shake. The XMB currently has the most awards ever won by a console user interface. Research next time, moron.

And the PS3 makes the 360 look like a last generation system altogether. You guys are happy to finally be getting WiFi… well the PS3 has…
