trivia
Women own three-times as many of these today than in 1999!
Hint: White is the favorite
Hint: A book has encouraged them to always have a 'special pair'
Answer: Underwear! Victoria's Secret claims that women own, on average, 34 pairs of underwear, 3-times as many as in 1999. Classic white is the favorite, but the book Fifty Shades of Grey has encouraged them to buy 'special occasion' undies!
joke of the day
A cannibal entered the meat market to buy something nice for dinner. The owner greeted him and told him to look around. The cannibal began to inspect the meat case and noticed the market specialized in brain.
Upon further inspection he noticed a marked disparity between the costs of brain meats. A carpenter's brain sells for $1.50 per pound. A plumber's brain sells for $2.25 per pound. He noticed with alarm that a politician's brain sells for $375.00 a pound. With not a little curiosity he asked the owner why the huge difference in price between the similar meats.
The owner responded with a deadpan look on his face, "Do you realize how many politicians it takes to get a pound of brains?"
Can Skype Spy On You?
Do you Skype? Skype is an online video chat service owned by Microsoft that, up until now, claimed to be spy-proof. Skype has always been proud to announce that its service is impossible to wiretap because of its "peer-to-peer architecture and encryption techniques". There are laws, though, in the U.S. that are forcing chat software makers to build backdoor entries for wiretapping. Hackers are now saying that Skype has the backdoor and your conversation can be recorded. Of course, a judge has to approve it, but the possibility is now there.
Microsoft will not confirm nor deny the possibility. Just thought you'd like to know. (translation: Keep your clothes on)
The Male/Female Boss Debate Continues
If it were up to you, would you rather have a male or female boss? A survey from Gallup gives the edge to men, 32 to 22 percent. But the gap has narrowed since the 50's when men had a 66 to 5 percent edge.
So why do we pick a man over a woman boss? Trust is a possible answer. Men are more likely to believe their employees are working while away from the office. Female bosses are less likely to think her employees are getting anything done at home (or Starbucks!). Why the distrust? Nobody really knows. The survey found that full time men work longer hours than full-time women - 8.3 hrs a day vs. 7.8 hrs. A commentary on the CBS News website believes that since male bosses work longer hours, then everyone else must be, too. Buy that?
Yay Us!
