Bringing Tighty Whities Back…

1. Country Music Makes People More Likely to Take Their Lives

You know you’re a redneck when…you commit suicide? Poor whites who listen to country music are more likely to take their lives. Evidently it’s not widespread substance abuse, poverty and guns - it’s the strawberry wine and BBQ stains on your white t-shirt.

2. Human-on-Robot Sex (and Marriage): Legal by 2050

I call dibs on dubbing: Botamy. You know, I have already seen this and it took me years to recover. It was called Creepy Robin Williams Movie. Oh, wait. Third Creepy Robin Williams Movie. (Study not funded by WD-40.)

3. Things Your Rectum Could Do Without

If you can survive Goatse, you can survive this. But why?

4. Chickens Don’t Like Ugly People

Textbook psychological projection.

5. Penis Pliers

Johnson jammed in your jeans yet again? No household should be without this helpful device, says its inventor.

6. Projectile Scat

7. Fart Creates Comfort Bubble

One severely distressed child comforted himself by persistently enveloping his body in his own gas. Poor little guy.

8. Taxi Drivers’ Brains Are Different

The region of the brain related to navigation and spatial reasoning is larger in taxi drivers. I think this is cool!

9. Ultrasonic Velocity of Cheddar Cheese

10. The Effects of Wearing Cold, Wet Underwear

Scientists found that wearing sopping wet skivvies whilst running was super freakin’ uncomfortable!
