We recently took a break from our regularly scheduled mockery to focus our taunting on Cosmopolitan magazine and some of the less...astute sex advice they've offered us over the years. While Cosmo comes at sex with the chirpy enthusiasm of Elle Woods and the DIY tenacity of Martha Stewart, its peers on the men's side are a little harder to pin down. So here's an anthology of the most misguided advice voiced by these two gentlemen; take it with caution. Men's Health: the Science of Seduction 1.

MARYS, OH—Local grandmother Janet Lukingbeal said Tuesday it had recently started to dawn on her that family members hadn't even bothered to research nicer nursing homes before admitting her to Horizons Retirement Community six years ago. "For the longest time, I thought they'd put me in the best home in the state, but then I started hearing some of the other residents talk about how much better all these other places were, including one that's not even half a mile from here," Lukingbeal, 87, said while fiddling with the antenna on the 400-room facility's communal television.
"And now I remember asking my son if the bedrooms in all the nursing homes were so small, and he immediately said that they all were, every single one of them, as if he'd really looked into it.

Rarely do we see this acted out in the real world the way it was cinematically—one scene finds a man giving away his brand-new Jaguar to a guy having car troubles—but on a smaller scale, these sorts of random niceties happen far more often than you might think. Today, it's selflessness at a small coffee house in Bluffton, South Carolina.

How to Use a Calling Card. Maybe you’ve been using calling cards for quite some time.
Or perhaps you recently invested in a set when we introduced our line of AoM-designed calling cards. Either way you’ve likely already been putting them to use in the obvious way-handing them to new friends, business contacts, and potential love interests. Calling cards truly do make an excellent networking tool, but there are other ways-both fun and practical-to employ them as well. During the 19th century, the use of calling cards was surrounded with a great deal of rules and etiquette. You would “call” upon someone by visiting their home and leaving your calling card in a tray by the door.

(Just for fun) 'Cursing stone' found on Isle of Canna. 19 May 2012Last updated at 23:13 GMT The bullaun stone was found in an old graveyard A stone discovered by chance on the Isle of Canna is Scotland's first known example of a bullaun "cursing stone", experts have revealed.
Dating from about 800 AD, the stones are associated with early Christian crosses - of which there is one on the isle. It was found in an old graveyard by a National Trust for Scotland (NTS) farm manager. The stone is about 25cm in diameter and engraved with an early Christian cross. It was later found to fit exactly into a large rectangular stone with a worn hole which was located at the base of the Canna cross. NTS manager of Canna, Stewart Connor, said the importance of the stone became clear after he was notified of the discovery. He said: "We knew of the importance of bullaun stones and that it could be a really significant find.

"Scientific Mating" on the cover of the April, 1924 issue of Science and Invention magazine Online dating sites like eHarmony and OkCupid claim they can find you the perfect romantic match by using algorithms. These kinds of sites have catchy slogans like “date smarter, not harder,” implying that they’ve finally perfected a scientific approach to matchmaking. Just answer a few questions, and their super-secret love science will find the person who is right for you. While much of the “science” behind online dating sites has been called into question, that doesn’t seem to dissuade us from wanting to make the messy (and often frustrating) world of romantic love into something quantifiable.
This idea, of course, is nothing new—and at least one futurist thinker of the early 20th century hoped that new technological developments might one day create the perfect matchmaking device.

Rajacenna is an 18-year-old self-taught artist from the Netherlands who draws the most realistic portraits I have ever seen, using only pencils. I’m a big fan of realistic drawings, and I’ve previously featured amazing works like the pencil drawings of Paul Lung, the ballpoint pen portraits of Juan Francisco Casas, or Cristina Penescu’s detailed scratchboard masterpieces, but at only 18 years of age Rajacenna is in a league of her own.
Born in 1993, she started modelling for various Dutch companies when she was only 4, and at 5 years old she made her first appearance on television. She starred in films, soap-operas and tv-series and at 12 she became the host of Kinderjournaal, the first Dutch web-tv for kids. She only took up drawing in 2009, and although she had never taken any art classes she produced some stunning pieces. Reddit Stumble.

There are lots of different approaches to the amorphous market of ‘e-learning’ but only a handful ever feel much like fun.
I think amongst the best of these are sites like MangaHigh which teaches Math, or Moshi Monsters which has subtle learning tasks for kids. Another which works well is Quipper, which, in a Q&A format, helps people learn things in a sort of game. Today it’s announced that it has raised $3.6m (£2.3m) of Series A funding led by Globis, the Japanese VC. The round has been two other investors: Atomico, the London-based VC firm led by Skype co-founder Niklas Zennström and Benesse, a major Japanese education and publishing company.
The fundraising, which seed funding from Atomico last year, will be used expand with an emphasis on increasing the amount of content on the platform Founded by Masa Watanabe, a co-founder of Japanese mobile social gaming company DeNA, Quipper’s app asks users to answer a series of questions, and they learn during that process. I Was One Of Those Kids Who Always Took Cats Apart To See How They Worked. I guess I've always been the curious type. Ever since I was a kid, I've wanted to learn how things worked. For me, it was never really about the surfaces of things—how they looked or how fast they could go—it was more about what was going on underneath. Take cats, for example. Most kids like petting cats or playing with them, but I was always the kid who was sort of off by himself, taking cats apart, familiarizing himself with their bone and tissue fibers, and really learning how each piece of the cat connected to the next.
Even as early as 5 or 6 years old, I enjoyed tinkering around with the insides of cats. I remember I was playing by myself in the neighborhood one time—just kind of entertaining myself like I always did—and I saw this calico in the street. So I took it home, opened it up, and found out. I guess you could say I was known as the "weird kid" in high school.
I think all this comes down to how I learn. I'm really excited about it. Swedish boys’ new hero: pram-pushing Spiderman. A boy in a Spiderman outfit pushes a pink pram. A young girl rides in a toy race car. Those are just two pictures from a new toy catalog from "Leklust," a company with 17 toy stores in Sweden. Company CEO Kaj Wiberg thinks it's time to move forward from old fashioned gender restrictions, The Local reports. An image of gender-progressive toddlers might cause an outrage in most places in the world, but not so in Scandinavia. Just last year, I reported about Norway’s gender-bending kindergartens. Reporting from a region of the world where men routinely go on parental leave and where toddlers are encouraged to read a broad range of fairytales — including the one about the gay king — I was hardly surprised a Swedish store would “dare” to feature a male figure pushing a pram.
Even a pink pram. "Gender roles are an outdated thing," the newspaper quotes Wiberg, the CEO, as saying. And in Sweden, they do. Take this example: I, personally, would buy a pink pram from my Spiderman son. What can I say? Man Candles : Yankee Candles : Yankee Candle. A Pastor Visits Hell (Video) General Mills Gives Honey Nut Cheerios Bee Intense Backstory Of Childhood Foster Home Abuse In Bizarre Rebranding Effort.
MINNEAPOLIS—In an unsettling attempt to increase brand visibility and broaden its demographic appeal, the General Mills corporation unveiled a new backstory for its iconic Honey Nut Cheerios bee character Monday, giving the cartoon insect a traumatic personal history of childhood abuse in a foster home. Calling the psychologically intense new narrative a "fresh and interesting twist on a beloved character," General Mills said it would unveil a series of TV, web, and print ads relating, often in graphic detail, the Honey Nut Cheerios mascot's separation from his drug-addicted parents at a young age, as well as his near-constant emotional and physical suffering at the hands of a controlling, fundamentalist Christian foster father.
Kids and adults alike are being encouraged by General Mills to play “very amusing” games such as this.
