Today is Clean Out Your Cubby Holes Day (just do it in private, thankyouverymuch), and Cold Day in Hell Day which celebrates the first snow in the Sahara Desert on this day in 1979.
Tomorrow (Sat) is Straw Wrapper Day which gives us an excuse to blow the wrapper off a straw.
Sunday is Call An Old Friend Day, Toothpick Day, and Flying Car Day celebrating the first test of a flying car on this date in 1937. Didn't seem to work out (at least that's my best guess)

Go Ahead and Shoot the Robots, Son!
Your kid wants to play some X-box, but 'experts' are telling you his brain will melt while doing it, right? Well, relax. From Redbook magazine, here are 5 bad things that are actually good for your kids.
5. Fighting -- Research says roughhousing develops gross motor skills and has neurological, physical and emotion benefits that kids can't learn any other way.
4. Watching TV -- Research shows that kids to watch educational TV shows do "better on reading and math tests," "have higher grads, are less aggressive and value their studies more when they reach high school."
3. Junk Food -- Teach them that while we eat healthy food most of the time, it isn't a failure to have a treat once in a while
2. Boredom -- Boredom can stimulate imagination and motivate creativity.
1. Video Games -- It seems girl gamers are "mentally stronger, were more well-behaved and felt a better connection with their families." It has the same effect on boys, too.

What Men Notice First!
Glamour magazine is shattering the stereotype that men only love cleavage. In fact, almost half of men check out a woman's HAIR first! Here are the results:
44% of men surveyed said that hair is the first thing they notice about a woman, more than her clothes (26%), legs (25%), or makeup (4%), and most men surveyed would be more likely to approach a woman at a bar with great hair than a woman wearing a low-cut shirt.
60% of men surveyed say they would rather date a woman with great hair than a woman with big breasts.
78% of men surveyed consider healthy hair to be a turn-on.
...Hmmmm.... where are shoes on this list? Oh right, nowhere!

Order Another...For America!
Even with Lindsay Lohan and Charlie Sheen on the prowl, the U.S. has one of the lowest rates of drinking in the developed world! The Mail Online reports the average American drinks 470 pints of mild beer every year. Sounds kind of high, until you learn the average Brit slams 1100 pints each year, and the Russians down 1350 pints.
Favorite drinks:
- U.S. -- Beer
- France -- Wine
- Russia -- Vodka
Wow...shocker.
One more -- the U.S. has one of the highest rates of people who abstain from drinking (35%). They're the ones we hate at the beach because they're all trim and toned. Someone give 'em a beer... show offs!

Did You Know
Facebook is stressing us out! A new survey of 175 college students, 3/4's of which were women, 12% say Facebook makes them feel anxious. It seems the more Facebook 'friends' they have, the more they stress out over feeling they have to continually update their status. More here
Joke of the Day
A man's car stalled on a country road. When he got out to fix it, a cow came along and stopped beside him.
"Your trouble is probably in the carburetor," said the cow.
Startled, the man jumped back and ran down the road until he met a farmer. He told the farmer his story.
"Was it a large red cow with a brown spot over the right eye?" asked the farmer.
"Yes, yes," the man replied.
"Oh, I wouldn't listen to Bessie," said the farmer. "She doesn't know a thing about cars."
