in response to maxim's list of unsexiest women alive, AOL has put out their own list of the unsexiest men... i think those people over at AOL need to get their eyes or their sky-high expectations checked or something because this list seems a tad strange to me.
11. Ben Stiller - umm... hello? great personality, sense of humour - aren't these things the ladies (and guys for that matter) are looking for?? and he's not even bad looking! it's not like he's carrot top or something...
10. Eric Dane - non-traditionally handsome in the face but he's got a nice body and his mcsteamy bad boy attitude is totally sexy.
9. (tied) Ryan Phillippe & Josh Hartnett - both used to be complete teenbeat heartthrobs but now are just meh thanks to crazy facial hair & some recently underwhelming performance. but bad acting does not an unsexy man make.
8. Pete Wentz - ok, so i agree here. what happened though? he used to be SO hot... now he's just a hot mess. you can't be 16 forever, honey...
7. James Blunt - so he's got a face that's like a halloween mask 365 days of the year but he's soulful and has an amazing voice... plus petra nemcova seemed to think he was pretty sexy there for awhile!
6. Kevin Connolly - i have no idea who this is so i really can't complain about his inclusion on this list...
5. Howard Stern - completely agree here. hit all the branches on his way out of the ugly tree and is so demeaning to others that i'm embarrassed for him. he does have a super hot wife though... how'd that happen?
4. Simon Cowell - yup, i'm going to agree on this one too... i accidentally saw pictures of him in swim trunks on a gossip website and had to run to the bathroom to toss my cookies.
3. Wilmer Valderrama - aside from being swimming with venereal diseases after sleeping with lindsay lohan AND ashlee simpson, he doesn't seem that bad to me...
2. Brandon Davis - complete sleaze... he's got more disease than ol' wilmer up there...
1. Pete Doherty - finally, they get one completely and totally right! ~shudder~

statuary hijinks
"Elaborate prank leaves Oregon police station overrun by lawn gnomes"hee hee... i don't know what it is about garden gnomes but they always make me giggle. my neighbour has some lawn ornaments--specifically cherubs and angels--and i always joke that i'm going to do something to them in the middle of the night - tip them over, place them in lewd positions, replace them with porcelain squirrels or those sesame street lawn statues you can get... one day, one day...
but back to the story... 75 lawn ornaments were stolen from various homes around town and meticulously arranged on the lawn of one house. after authorities were alerts all the figurines (including the infamous gnomes, geese, deer, and frogs) were taken to the local police station for owners to claim.
says capt. richard harrison: "We need to get them out of here. [...] Everytime I leave my office they're sitting in my chair, working on my computer. I can't seem to get rid of the darn things."
hell on earth...
now why would you want to go and live in hell?
this halloween, a couple from hell, michigan won a $115,001 lottery prize...
i wasn't so interested in the lottery story as i was just in the town itself.
there's even a link on the wikipedia site directing you to a weather forecast for the area so you can see if hell's frozen over! quite amusing...
it's a small town... we all know what small towns are like... so i wonder, how many churches do you think there are in hell?

apparently, getting more sleep reduces your chance of being obese... well, for kids at least...
"Researchers have found that every additional hour per night a Grade 3 student spends sleeping reduces the child's chances of being obese in Grade 6 by 40 per cent."
how this relates to adults? sleep-deprived adults produce more of a hormone called ghrelin (promotes hunger) and less leptin (signals fullness)
9.5 hours is the magic number for grade 3 students... according to this study, any more sleep than that significantly lowers the risk of obesity. someof the kids in the study were getting as much as 12 hours of sleep (including naps) a day!! 12 hours?!? geeze... their parents must really enjoy their alone time to have the kid sleeping that much!

question?
why is hilary's lady bump hanging out the bottom of this "dress"?
so maybe it's not a dress... maybe it should be! it would be really nice if it was a dress... why oh why didn't they make it a dress? maybe it's made from a baby leopard and they just didn't have enough! anyway... i'll always think of ms. duff as a child, never a grown-up or sex symbol as she seems to attempting to morph herself into. she'll always be sweet little lizzy mcguire to me!
age appropriate?
so in essence, i am a large child and i still enjoy the little things in life...
today i got out one of my kinder surprises (don't act like you don't know what i'm talking about) and after assembling my toy i found myself thinking of the appropriateness of said toy for children...
no, those aren't some delightful, green, stubby shoes she's wearing... this little toy has a HUGE rack! and i am not mistaken in this matter... none of the other little toys in this seris have feet either! it's all beards, neck frills and collars!
going greener... baby steps
"City approves new guidelines for eco-friendly parking lots"Standards call for trees, walkways, lighting, improved drainage and enhanced landscaping
hang the code, and hang the rules. they're more like guildelines anyway!
actually, they are ONLY guidelines... none of these newly approved changes are mandatory - they are just put in place to make the city council seems more eco-friendly without actually having to change anything. they claim that designing new parking lots with these guildelines in mind will improve the chances of a plan being approved i'm wary that, like always, approval will be steered by the coin purse rather than good ideas.
the list of recommended changes includes: creating landscaped areas (what profitable parking lot operator would do this? that landscaped area is potentially more parking spaces that they can charge $8/hr instead of emptying their pockets to buy trees and shrubs and maintain them!) with permanent irrigation systems, using light-coloured and porous paving materials, switching to energy-efficient light fixtures, and adding public art (art? that's money output with no gain whatsoever! the city can pay for it's own beautification!)

more halloween "costumes"
is this even really appropriate?
why not just go for it and go as a nudist? or is that just missing the allure of leaving the teeniest smidge up to the imagination? and really, what's the point of that? because we've all already seen all the goods!
meow!
heidi klum and britney spears both showed up at heidi's annual party dressed as cats... is that the same kind of faux pas as showing up at an event in the same dress?
anyway, the real question is (well, it's not really a real question because it's asked extremely scarcastically... there's really only one logical answer, of course. but now i'm rambling and i really should get on with the rest of this question before you lose interest...) who's costume is better???
picture of the week - nov.1
this is "a portion of the hippocampus from a 'Brainbow' transgenic mouse"i'm not entirely sure what that means but look at all the pretty colours! check out this link and it'll explain it all to you...
the PHC awards
what is PHC you ask? prestigious halloween candy of course!
i found this amusing so i thought i'd share...
presenting the star.com's sabrina jalees' candy awards:
The Best Possible Award - Full Sized Chocolate Bars
The abode of the Costco-member-with-a-heart with boxes of regular-sized bars was the Shangri-La of treats. Once discovered, our team would mix and match costume pieces in an attempt to score a second, third or even fourth helping (depending on when the generous bar bearer would call us pathetic).
The Hit Or Miss Award - An Unsupervised Basket Accompanied By A Sign
The sign "Happy Halloween! Help Yourself!" can lead to a major cash-in or a grave disappointment. If you discover the stash early, the basket of candies is yours to allot, like a politician delegating his budget. Show up a second too late and the golden opportunity has turned into a waste of precious time.
The Most Likely To Give You Mono Award - Loose Candy Givers
Every year, at least one friendly but naive earth-lover will say to themselves, "Screw all that packaging labour and pollution, I'm going to the Bulk Barn for my treats this year!" Flash forward to the big night and they're scooping out handfuls of M&Ms with the same hands they used to dole out UNICEF quarters. [hold up... when did it become UNICEF quarters? it was always pennies back in my day!] Thanks a lot buddy, but I'll pass on the stomach flu.
The Crappiest Candy Award - The Orange-and-Black Wrapped Dark Chewy Things
Okay, so they may not be as crappy as the infamous apple-a-la-syringe, but these inedible non-treats should have been illegal a long time ago. You know the ones, those little brown hardened taffy candies that taste like molasses an poop. Each time one dropped in my bag it would be a tiny grenade of disappointment.

"Office worker accidentally shoots himslef in both legs"
it's like i'm living in a world where there is no actual news and reporters just write about the most absurd scenarios they can think of!

who cried a river and drowned the whole world
(not really but this item is a continuation of my post from the other day so i just thought i'd go with it.)
remember when i said that the exhibition enthusiast shauna sand seemed to "prance about like every living, breathing second of her life is a playboy photo shoot"?
well i think that this "article" will amply support my statement.
