WACKY THURSDAY

Ya know, since its a Wednesday/THursday COMBO UPDATE!!
Here's....some shtuff!








BAD NEWS FOR NON-SINGLE FOLK...
It feels like everyone's had this happen at some point: One of your good friends gets into a relationship, then seems to fall off the face of the Earth, never to be seen or heard from again. Actually I'm pretty sure we all do it. I've done it, you've done it. It happens. We all say "oh I wont do that" but we do it anyway, cause we're addicted to the treasure chest...

According to a study by scientists at the University of Oxford in England, it's a very real phenomenon. They've found that when someone gets into a serious relationship, they lose TWO close friendships.

Yes, they really had a 'study' conducted by scientists. Hey, next time? Just ask my ass! I'll tell ya what's up...half price too!

The average man has around four or five really close friends, and the average woman has five or six. Both men and women lose an average of two of those friends every time they start seriously dating someone new.

And it's not just a new boyfriend or girlfriend that pushes your friends away.

The scientists found that you only have the time and capacity for about five intimate connections. So when you have a child, or even when you get a DOG, you start fading out friends.

Robin Dunbar is the Oxford professor of evolutionary biology who led the study. He says, quote, "You only have five slots for deeply intense and meaningful relations. Those don't have to be human.

"They can be your dog or your favorite chrysanthemum plant. (???) They can be people in an entirely fictional world, [like] soap opera characters. They can be God."








THEY YANKED THE KATY VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That video in which a very cleavage-y KATY PERRY dances around with Elmo to a cleaned up version of "Hot N Cold" will NOT assault the eyeballs of your young children after all.

The "Sesame Street" people decided not to air it, after receiving numerous complaints.

The video never did air...it was scheduled to run on the New Year's Eve show. But after it leaked to the Internet and people went DOG NUTS over it, producers decided to trash it.

By the way...according to TMZ, Katy's upper chest isn't technically bare. She's wearing, quote, "flesh-colored mesh" right up to her neck.

Scroll down to my last update...the video was still on Youtube at last check! Link below







EFF YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU...OO OO OOOOO!!!!
CEE-LO GREEN will release his album, "The Lady Killer", a month EARLIER than planned. Instead of December 7th, he's now putting it out November 9th.

He says he's doing this out of, "popular demand." Now, usually when a musician says that they're blowing smoke...but in this case, it seems legit.

Cee-lo's "Eff You" single has been a phenomenon. The initial, song-only version, and the video that followed, have been watched on YouTube over 10 MILLION times combined in the past month. And requested by many on Q92 as well!









WHY YOU DO...THAT THING YOU DO?
There's a pretty common belief that women don't dress up to impress men...they do it to impress other women. And this is just another piece of evidence to show why that's the pure, undisputed TRUTH.

A new study by Northumbria University in Newcastle, England, found that men don't notice or care whether a woman's wearing high heels or not.

Men in the study couldn't even tell the difference in a woman's posture with high heels versus her posture without them. With high heels, a woman is supposed to look like she has longer legs and a better rear end. But the men didn't notice.

Dr. Nick Neave is an evolutionary psychologist who led the study. He says, "Women are spending money on high heels, which can be dangerous, presumably to make themselves look good and add to what nature gives them."

But, he found that they're not really making a difference in attracting men.








LESSON LEARNED?
14-year-old Rebecca Javeleau of Herdfordshire, England, is about to turn 15...and scheduled her birthday party for October 7th. To invite her friends, she posted her party as an event on Facebook.

Sounds pretty common, right? Of course it does.
There was only one problem. When she set up the party, she forgot to uncheck the box that says "anyone can view and RSVP."

And suddenly, random people started RSVP-ing to the party. Then THEIR friends saw it and started responding. And before Rebecca knew what was happening, 21,000 people around the world had signed on to attend her 15th birthday party.

When her mother found out, she cancelled the party, took away Rebecca's Internet privileges, and called the police: Because even after Rebecca took the invitation down, people reposted it and pledged to show up for the party on October 7th. Ha!!!








WANNA STAY SKINNY? GET A FAT ROOMIE!!!
Here's a weird phenomenon, according to a study from the University of......that school in the next state north which shall not be named. They found that when a girl goes off to college for the first time, if she winds up with a CHUBBY roommate...that's actually her best bet for staying SLIM.

They found that freshman girls with chubby roommates gained an average of half a pound. Freshman girls with skinnier roommates gained two-and-a-half pounds.

The researchers believe it happens because the chubby roommate will focus on dieting and exercising, rather than just gorging at the dining hall buffet...and some of those habits will rub off on her roommate.







Alright....be good!
