"...I never understood how I became an athlete. I don't like working out, I don't like anything physical. If it involves sitting down or shopping, I'm excellent at it." -Serena Williams. source
Lawsuit of the Day: Pepsi is being sued by a guy who claims to have found a mouse in his Mountain Dew can. Pepsi says that's impossible because Mountain Dew can dissolved a mouse carcass. (which is why instead of traps, I leave bowls of Mountain Dew around the house)
Get this: Angry Birds was downloaded 6.5 million times on Christmas Day. That's more than three times the downloads it had in 2010. (that answers the question about an economic rebound, doesn't it?)
Older Women are Easier to Please In Bed
Here's an interesting study about how sexual satisfaction increases and decreases with age. Around 800 women were tracked over 40 years, and here are the results:
* Sexual activity decreases with age
* Women that report achieving complete *ahem* satisfaction, were either very young, or much older
* 40% of women said they never or almost never felt sexual desire
* Around 50% of women 80 years old or more, on the other hand, still enjoyed a romp in the hay.
* Interesting that 61% of women were satisfied with their sex life, regardless whether they had a partner or were sexually active.
The researchers concluded that the older women in the study were the most sexually satisfied, and the oldest women had satisfaction rates similar to those of the youngest women.

Things That Will Be Cheaper in 2012
*Apple iPad 2 --- thanks to the upcoming iPad 3
*Wine --- With a struggling economy, we're not willing to shell out $30 for a bottle of wine. Wine sellers are adapting
*Laptops that will replace your desktop
*Android tablets --- Thanks to the $199 Kindle Fire, manufacturers are scrambling to be competitive
*Car rentals --- Agencies have an excess of cars that need to be filled. Look for discounts.
*eBook Readers
*3D HDTV's -- They're a tough sell. They cost more and you to also purchase those crazy 3D glasses
*Homes --- Home prices are down and unemployment is still high. It's a buyers market through 2012.

Resolutions!
We're 4 days into the New Year, have you broken your resolution yet? Good, keep going! It's not a surprise that men and women make very different resolutions. For example:
Women are...
* MORE likely to resolve to spend more time with friends, have more fun, and be more organized.
* LESS likely to quit smoking or scale back their drinking
* MORE likely to actually make a New Years resolution
Men, on the other hand, are...
* MORE likely to resolve to work harder at their jobs, quit smoking and curtail their alcohol intake.
* LESS likely to actually make a New Years resolution
Men and women share several hopes and desires in 2012: Lose weight, be more patient, spend more time with each other and spend more time with the kids.
