Researchers at Rhode Island Hospital found that there were 305 cases of intentional ingestion of a foreign object over an 8-year period -- in other words, people swallowing stuff that ain't food. What do you think is the most common object people swallow?

Answer

Pens! Pens are #1 by 24% followed by batteries (9%), knives (what? 7%) and razor blades (7%). And get this -- one patient was responsible for 67 of the cases. No patient deaths were reported.

Where's the absolute worst place to have to wait in line?

A new survey found we have very little patience for waiting in line. The British survey concluded the average adult is able to stand in line for only 10 minutes and 42 seconds before getting angry. The three worst places to stand in line:

1. Supermarkets

2. Post Office

3. Airport check-in and security

8 in 10 say they're now choosing to do more ONline than INline (Shopping, bills, etc)

So where is YOUR worst place to stand in line? DMV? Bank? Restaurant? Roller Coasters?

Five Styles of Flirting

Researchers at the University of Kansas asked folks about their flirting styles and dating history to identify the five main styles of flirting. They found two things -- there's no difference between the flirting styles of men and women -- and different flirting style lead to different relationships.

Here are the five:

Physical flirt express sexual interest in their targets and fall into (and most likely 'out of') relationships quickly.

Traditional flirts are old school and think men should pursue women. This process involves a man getting to know a woman before trying to date her.

Polite flirts are non-sexual and follow all the rules. This type of flirting usual leads to a meaningful relationship.

Sincere flirts want to know how you're doing, and they mean it. They have a sincere interest in who you are and want to make an emotional connection. These, too, lead to meaningful relationships.

Playful flirts are in it for themselves. They flirt for their own self-esteem. They're not interested in a long-term relationship and are less likely to have meaningful relationships -- but certainly feel great about themselves!

Does it set a bad example if almost-18-year old Miley Cyrus drinks a beer? What if it's in Spain where's it's ok to be almost-18 and drink beer? Still bad? Picture of the incriminating evidence...not that she's hiding it

Speaking of, Miley told MTV News that she'd like her family to all be with her on her 18th birthday on November 23rd. "I think we all need time together," she said. This, of course, follows a week of stories claiming her mom slept with Bret Michaels prompting her to move out. You have to feel sorry for a teenager dealing with all that mess.

TMZ reports Disney darling Demi Lovato popped a back up singer in the face leaving a nasty shiner during the Jonas brothers Live in Concert Tour. The dancer is Alex Welch, and yes, she's considering legal action. Demi felt so bad about the punch that she left the tour and is receiving help.

Michelle "Bombshelle" McGee, the woman who had an affair with Jesse James, has to be feeling proud of herself this morning. Not only is she dancing naked on the web for all to see, but she's doing it through the domain name, "SandraBullocksRevenge.com." Even worse, it's part of a campaign to promote AshleyMadison.com, a website that encourages adultery. She got paid $500/hour, according to TMZ.

Note to self -- don't hang out with Ke$ha. The singer gives a shout out to serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer on her next album, "Cannibal." Sidenote: Dahmer killed 14 men.

On a brighter note, ShowbizSpy reports Nick Lachey shelled out $125-K for Vanessa Minillo's engagement ring. Wow, those 98 Degrees Christmas albums must be flying off the shelves!

Big weekend for Hollywood as a trio of new releases brought in huge bucks. "Megamind" tops the box office with $47.7 million, most of that coming from 3-D screens. The Robert Downey Jr, Zach Galifianakis flick "Due Date" was 2nd with $33.5 million, and Janet Jackson's "For Colored Girls" brought in $20.1 million, enough for third place.
