Apparently lightening likes women better, because it goes after men much more often. Of the 648 people killed by lightening between 1995 and 2008, 82% were dudes. Why? Cause we're idiots. Men are less willing to walk away from recreational activities or sports.
How My Girlfriend's Gas Led to Our Engagement
Strange article about a couple that dated for two years before she...um...passed gas. This guy says it, pardon the pun, cleared the air and opened the door to their engagement. It broke down the remaining walls of politeness between them and brought to the surface what's real about each other. Sheez. If that was their biggest problem, then he should've married her long before then!

Another Teacher Busted...
For having a relationship with a 9th grader at a high school near Dallas. Amy Schilling allegedly gave him rides home and even slipped an iPhone in his backpack as a gift. The two were caught getting cozy on a couch in her office by the janitor. And here's another case where the female teacher is hot (mugshot). Why does a 33-year old, really good looking teacher need to fish in the kiddie pool? I don't get it?
Meanwhile, Another Hot Teacher...
...is arrested for the same thing (mugshot). Again, in Texas, this substitute teacher, 30, was arrested for having an affair with a high school boy. Her hubby was the one that called police.
