PHONEBUZZ

Light 'em up!

Ever lose yourself in the moment so bad that you never saw (this) coming?

It was on this day in 2001, a German couple kissing in a parked car by a lake became so passionate they didn't notice it rolling into a lake.  The couple is fine...can't say the same about the car.  

Have you ever been turned down for a job because you're TOO attractive?

It can happen!  In fact, new research discovered that being an attractive woman did not give you an edge when it comes to certain opportunities.  Getting hired for jobs in research and finance, as well as physical jobs like prison guard and tow truck driver were tougher for hotties.  Still, researchers believe that an attractive woman is going to have a much better shot at most jobs than a Plain Jane.  


Of course, if you're having trouble finding work, there's always this:

DID YOU KNOW

If you're trying to get pregnant, a stressful life won't help.  A new study found 25% of women "who had the highest levels of the biomarker alpha-amylase (indication of stress) also had an approximate 12 percent decrease in the chance of becoming pregnant during each menstrual cycle, as compared with women in the same study who had the lowest levels of alpha-amylase."

WHO SAID IT?

 "I must have been pregnant about 15 times this year alone...I guess I can't have an extra burger at weekends or something. It all takes away the joy when I do have an announcement. It's silly."
-Jennifer Aniston

JOKE OF THE DAY

"That’s great news!" says his boss: "When is it due?"

"Well, if we get the timing right it might only take nine months," the man replies.

SURF THIS!
