What drives you crazy when surfing the web?
Surfing yesterday drove me CRAZY after stumbling across too many sites that now...
- ...cisplay a pop up, half page ad that's impossible to close without waiting 10 seconds.
- ...automatically play a commercial, which is horrible if your speakers are turned way, way up.
- ...display ads that flash from red to white to red again... most of the time they scream "YOU WIN...THIS IS NOT A JOKE!" Which...it is.
What drives you bananas?
A question just for men -- you have your choice: A full head of thick hair, or a great love life?
...and, if you take a baldness drug, you really have to make a choice! New research discovered that guys who take finasteride (Propecia) do, in fact, experience hair growth -- but at a price -- some may develop sexual problems. 1 in 80 finasteride takers experience erectile dysfunction.
You'd think that would be enough for men to quit the drug -- nope! "It seems that most men taking this drug really PREFER to have hair," according to the study's author. story
