There may come a time when you attempt to take out money from an ATM. And this ATM will not give you what you asked for, but will say that it has. And you—well, you, in a court of law, are probably significantly less trustworthy and sympathetic...
A new study from the University of Athens suggests that olive oil could be a good remedy for tackling erectile dysfunction — and no, we’re not talking about squirting some on your hand and using it to manually inspire a woody (although that’s totally okay, too). So is this...
Dancing like your dad: You can dread it, you can deny it, but you can’t dodge it. Even the silkiest-hipped individual will, at some point, turn into something resembling a lobster being tasered whenever he attempts to move rhythmically. To illustrate this phenomenon, here is Prince William,...
It’s a rule of thumb: You gotta have six months of salary on hand to handle whatever life throws at you — or rather, whatever life sneaks up and sucker punches and eye gouges you with. But is that really true? No matter how much you actually earn, that’s...
