10 Minutes Of Staring at Boobs Daily Prolongs Man's Life by 5 Years...

Listen, guys, now we know why Pamela Anderson made her transplants: to make us healthier. "Angels of mercy" like Jordan just prolong our life and Hugh Hefner knows it.

A German research published in New England Journal of Medicine and Weekly World News said that men staring at women's breasts in fact prolong their lives with years.

"Just 10 minutes of staring at the charms of a well-endowed female such as Baywatch actress Pamela Lee is equivalent to a 30-minute aerobics work-out," said author Dr. Karen Weatherby, a gerontologist.

NEW YORK (Reuters Life!) - Certain initials may look better than others as monograms but they can also have an impact on how well a person performs in a sport or at school, according to a new study.

Researchers who studied the impact of initials found that baseballs players whose first or last name starts with the letter K, which signifies a strikeout, tended to strike out more often than other players.

Ohio Pediatrician Arrested for Having Over 1,700 Pictures of Child Porn in His Desk

Provided By: Associated Content, Inc.

Trusting parents make numerous regular trips to the pediatrician's office over the course of their children's infancy and childhood. During a visit, we expect kids to get their throats and ears looked at, but is there really more going on in those little examination rooms?

When we take our kids to the doctor's office, we anticipate eye exams and prescriptions for penicillin.

Dissecting Microsoft’s “100 Reasons You’ll Be Speechless”

The other day a list of “100 Reasons You’ll Be Speechless” when you use Windows Vista (I guess Microsoft aren’t hearing the “Wows!” and assuming that we’re all speechless instead) hit the media (I’m pretty sure this isn’t a new list …). I was going to write a piece about this yesterday but didn’t - it seems that everyone else was saying what I was thinking. Earlier today I decided to take a more objective look at the 100 reasons and see which apply to me - not many it turns out.

Below I’ll list all 100 reasons and below each I’ll add my thoughts and feelings on the reason.

Gone Baby Gone

By PAUL KRUGMAN

Published: October 22, 2007

It pains me to say this, but this time Alan Greenspan is right about housing.

Skip to next paragraph

Paul Krugman.

Go to Columnist Page » Blog: The Conscience of a Liberal

Mr. Greenspan was wrong in 2004, when he sang the praises of adjustable-rate mortgages. He was wrong in 2005, when he dismissed the idea that there was a national housing bubble, suggesting that at most there was some “froth” in the market. He was wrong last fall, when he suggested that the worst of the housing slump was behind us. (Housing starts have fallen 30 percent since then.)

But his latest pronouncement — that the market rescue plan being pushed by Henry Paulson, the Treasury secretary, is likely to make things worse rather than better — looks all too accurate.

Tips to Recharge Your Memory

The best ways to beat absentmindedness are amazingly simple--and totally fun

By Rick Chillot , Rick Chillot writes about health and other topics from his home in rural Pennsylvania.

Is there any better advice than your mother's adage to "Put things back in the same place," or the used car salesman's habit of repeating your name over and over?

There's plenty! But that doesn't mean that your mom and the salesman aren't on to something. Many of the old-fashioned tips work--if you establish a habit of using them. But there are also new ideas, variations on classics, and specific--and fun--ways to sharpen your recall.

Here's something you can do right now, right where you are, to improve your memory:

Repeat this sentence: My memory is better than I think it is.
