252 Things Our Readers Bought on Amazon This Year
As an Amazon affiliate, we get a wee percentage of sales from people who click through from our site to Amazon. But better than that, we get a report from Amazon about what people have purchased! (Don't worry, it's all anonymous: there's no information at all passed on about the purchaser's identity.) One thing we can guarantee: you people buy things online. Here are just a few excerpts from the year 2011, here with quantity, title, media and cost. READ MORE
It Gets Better, Nerds
Good news for nerds, outcasts, homos and freaks: those dudes winning on your school's football team are going to bomb out of life: the more winning there is, the more their grades go down. You should totally cite them this survey while they're beating you up.
The Way We Stick Things Into Other Things Now
How are we doing sex to each other these days? In a pleasantly diversified fashion! According to research from the National Survey of Sexual Health and Behavior, we are doing sex in 41 combinations of the following: "penile-vaginal intercourse, solo masturbation, partnered masturbation, oral sex and anal sex." While penis-vagina remains a safe and popular investment, we're seeing strong growth in almost all sectors. READ MORE
Jesus Coming, Newspapers Going
When the Rapture happens you will have to read about it on your iPad, if the predictive powers of Americans surveyed in a Pew Research poll are at all accurate: "64 percent of Americans say printed newspapers will cease to exist by 2050.... A significant 41 percent of respondents expect Jesus Christ to return by 2050."

According to "Survey": College Majors and their Resulting Salaries
If you are considering going to college (which, from where I'm sitting now, looks like a big fat waste of five-and-a-half years) you should major in engineering of some sort. According to a pretty unreliable "thing found on the Internet," seven out of the top ten undergraduate degrees by salary are in engineering. Surprisingly, sitting only 20 spots lower, a philosophy degree (stupid, Dave!) will supposedly earn you more than business administration, business management and advertising. Twenty spots lower than that, journalism languishes below nursing, English and agriculture. But just above forestry. Which will probably be incorrect by the time you read this.
Sex Survey Exposes National Shortcomings, Under-reported Truths
A poll of 15,000 women asked to rank the sexual performance of men by nationality ranked Germans as the worst in bed due to subpar hygiene. English indolence, Swedish celerity, Turkish perspiration, and American aggression resulted in those countries also scoring poorly. Make of it what you will, but the near-universal finding that the remarkable prowess of extremely hirsute half-Italian, half-Jewish alcoholics causes women to "swing from the rafters while hearing a choir of angels singing 'Nobody Does It Better'" has left me convinced that there is an unusual degree of accuracy to this one.
2 out of 3 Straight Men Have Sex Only Once A Week Or Way Less
It only occurred to me later in life that the lot of a straight man was a terrible one. They think about sex all the time-but so rarely have it. So here is the most recent ridiculous survey about sex (from an alleged 50,000 male readers of men.style.com AskMen.com! (Whoops!)) and it finds that 28% of men have sex less than one time a month! Gah! Haha! Wow! Surprisingly, 87% of men also report being dissatisfied with their sex life. I BET! READ MORE
