Sure, why the hell not.

Britain's Sun, covering all the bases: "HOT, pouting lips get men in the mood for love – and they could also hold the secret to a woman's sexual enjoyment. A study has found women with a prominent and pointy tubercle – the middle part of the top lip that points upwards, also known as the 'cupid's bow' – are up to 12 TIMES more likely to hit the heights during sex than those with flat lips." "But are your lips also sending warning signals about your health? Dry or sore lips could indicate anything from diabetes to herpes or Crohn's disease."

The Sun totally ripped one: "What you’re seeing here is a solar flare (an enormous explosion of pent-up magnetic energy) coupled with a prominence (a physical eruption of gas from the surface). This event blasted something like a billion tons of material away from the Sun. Note the size of it, too: while it started from a small region on the Sun’s surface, it quickly expanded into a plume easily as big as the Sun itself! I’d estimate its size at well over a million kilometers across. It looks like most of the material fell back down to the Sun’s surface; that’s common, though sometimes such an event manages to blast the material completely away into space." We are totally on Team Sun to begin with, mostly because it's NOT THE MOON, but this awesome display of solar flatulence makes our devotion even that much more worthwhile.

"A massive solar flare could make for a beautiful night for people in the northern United States – provided it doesn't knock the lights out. The blast of charged particles unleashed from the sun earlier this week has been peppering the Earth over the last few days, but it's biggest punch is expected to hit the Earth's atmosphere on Thursday."

You know how thinking about space and the speed of celestial bodies makes you kind of want to vomit and put your hands over your ears and lay flat on the ground, like a car-sick dog? Well, bad news! Because yesterday we were pretty much as close to the sun as we ever get, and now we are rocketing away from it and, if I understand the math, picking up speed as we travel away. The good news is that the sun looks about 3% bigger than it does in mid-summer! And there's more light, so your SAD is easily treatable. And if you'd like to learn more and/or argue about celestial math, elliptical orbits and acceleration, here is the place to do so.

It's both a celebration and an innovation: "To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the national insitution, we're bringing it into the 21st century with our fab new interactive feature. Who'd have thought 40 years ago that you'd one day be able to interact your favourite Page 3 lovely. Simply click the link to launch a pop-up of today's Page 3 girl Hollie, click and drag your mouse and watch as she turns.... she'll pirouette to your command." [WARNING: Includes tits.]
