Getting a haircut can sometimes feel like being operated on, at least in the sense that some person is chopping away at an extension of your body with an assortment of extremely sharp metallic items. It can be especially disconcerting when your barber keeps whipping out all...
According to the American Hair Loss Association, a whopping 85 percent of men experience noticeable hair loss by age 50. The one upside is, at least all those dudes can commiserate together. But those who deal with conspicuous hair loss at a much younger age — say,...
Research shows that human homes harbor an average of 100 different insect species, regardless of cleanliness or the presence of pets, which often provide outdoor bugs with free (albeit bumpy) rides to the great indoors. Glancing around my home office, I see a small spider hanging in an upper...
A few years back, the internet pointed and laughed when a young baseball fan got a brain freeze after slamming a slushee. And while we’re far too mature to laugh at such a thing (okay, we laughed too — sorry, kid), we did aim to find the...
Cleaning your sullied behind with toilet paper is a feeble and unsanitary undertaking, something my colleague Tracy Moore made remarkably clear when she stated, in no uncertain terms, “You’re wiping your butt wrong.” Besides being powerless against stubborn poop, vigorous wiping with TP can contribute to an...
Time keeps on slipping, and since my job involves staring at an endless number of miniature words on an incredibly bright computer screen, I suspect that having to wear glasses is in the cards for me. I’m not mad about it or anything: I actually think glasses...
