Men Are More Concerned About Going Gray Than Going Bald
Friday, 06 August 2010 07:55
These are the results from a survey of British men so either they have very different vanity issues than we do or I was asleep on the day that everyone decided going bald isn't that bad.
The survey asked men to name their biggest concern about their appearance, and going gray actually beat out balding. Here are the top five concerns, in order:
#1.) Having their hair turn gray. #2.) Balding. #3.) Unwanted nose, ear and body hair. #4.) Being overweight. #5.) Yellow teeth.
The survey also found that men really start becoming unhappy with their looks at age 45.
Nightclub Owner Arrested for Letting Patrons Have Sex At Club

I've never been inside a bar or club and seen two people actually start making sweet love. I've seen plenty of sloppy make-out sessions and even sloppier fondling, but no sex. And apparently it's because I've been going to the wrong places.
39-year-old Aaron Dean owns the Blu Lounge, a nightclub in Arden, North Carolina. And this week, he was arrested after undercover agents found that he was allowing people to have sex inside the club.
During their investigation, agents went to the club three times and each time, they saw people getting-it-on. Sometimes it was couples, sometimes it was group sex. They also found condom wrappers on the ground.
Aaron was clearly watching some of the sex acts, and was present at the club all three times. At one point, agents also watched Aaron try to get women to flash.
He was charged with two counts of allowing sex acts at an establishment licensed to serve alcohol.
And if he's found guilty, he could lose his permit to serve alcohol at the club, face a fine, or both.
It makes sense that women who do online dating become really picky because they're bombarded with so many date requests. But what if it's because, deep down, they're all secretly racist?
Researchers at the University of California-Berkeley just finished a study of thousands of online dating profiles. Here's what they found . . .
For some reason, something about this report just feels suspect to me. I can't quite put my finger on it, though. See if you can help me out here.
BP just finished a thorough investigation of the cause of the oil spill in the Gulf. And after much research and study, BP has concluded that BP is not responsible for the spill.
They haven't released their full report yet, but have said their report clearly finds that it's not BP's fault that the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig exploded and that any claims of negligence against them are baseless.
Until BP cleared this up, everyone was pretty sure that they really were at fault, that they cut corners on some standard safety measures to save money, and that those cuts led to the explosion.
I always ignore it when someone invites me to play a game on Facebook. "FarmVille", "Mafia Wars" and the rest just seem pointless. I'm already wasting time on Facebook, why do I need something to waste time during my wasted time?
But clearly, a lot of people have gotten sucked in by those games. And they're playing them on their company's dime.
A new survey by Cisco finds that 50% of people use Facebook and other social networking sites at work even if their company has specifically told them not to.
And of that group, 7% say they play "FarmVille" at work, which involves tending to and building virtual farms for an average of 68 minutes.
5% of people play the Facebook game "Mafia Wars" at work, for an average of 52 minutes per day. "Mafia Wars" involves recruiting other friends for crime missions and trying to build an empire.
Other games, including "Cafe World", "Treasure Isle", "Zoo World" and "Restaurant City" also suck up people's time at work.
It's time to meet this Friday's 'Idiot Criminal of the Day': 32-year-old Ronald Charles Dallas, of Salt Lake City, Utah.
We don't know a whole lot about Ronald, but we do know this: He was a lousy husband. His estranged wife hasn't been named in the press, but she's accused him of domestic abuse, and the case is ongoing.
Now Ronald's in jail. In the meantime, Ronald's wife got a protective order from the Utah courts, saying that Ronald can't contact her. In other words . . . a restraining order.
But Ronald desperately wanted to keep his wife from testifying against him in the upcoming domestic abuse trial. So, being the brilliant legal mind and stand-up guy that he is, Ronald figured out an ingenious way around the protective order.
He wrote letters from jail to "Molly Judge" his estranged wife's cat. Eleven letters in all, actually. In each case, Ronald addressed the letters to the cat. And in each case, the letters were actually meant for his wife, persuading her not to testify.
Unfortunately for Ronald, that does not qualify as an airtight way to get around a protective order that prevents you from contacting someone. Sorry Ronald. Now, in addition to the domestic abuse charges, Ronald faces 11 counts of violation of a protective order and two counts of tampering with a witness.
These are the results from a survey of British men so either they have very different vanity issues than we do or I was asleep on the day that everyone decided going bald isn't that bad.
