Just be honest... If you could program a robotic boyfriend/girlfriend/spouse, what would you add or take away?

Robotic girlfriends are now on sale in Japan.  A roboticist has created a small surrogate girlfriend for men modeled after a woman in her 20's with long black hair, soft silicone skin and lifelike teeth that allow her to smile.  The price:  $50-thousand.  But...but... ok, I'll ask -- can she get intimate with you?  "You'll have to buy one and see," said the creator.  A male companion is on the way in December.

What's the worst part about getting old?

You're invincible in your 20's.  Same for your 30's, although things start to ache a bit more.  And then as you head through your 40's and beyond, things really start to happen.  What has been the worst part about aging?

If you ask British men, they'd say gray hair.  Hair color is the #1 appearance concern, according to a new survey.  More than half of men worry about graying hair, and 45 is the age when panic really sets in.  Here's a list of their top concerns:

  1. Gray hair
  2. Thinning hair or hair loss
  3. Unwanted hair (hello nose and ears)
  4. Being overweight
  5. Yellowing teeth

Know this ladies, after the age of 45, men are pretty unhappy with the way they look, so be gentle.
