One of the all-time classic comedy pairings was enshrined in cultural history in 1968, when Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau appeared together in the original movie version of The Odd Couple. As well as spawning a hit TV show, the film christened a whole subgenre that sitcom creators...
You’re busy. I’m busy. All of us are painfully, gruelingly busy. Such is life in the ever-draining gig economy. And all that busyness means that other stuff falls by the wayside — stuff you used to consider important, like sleeping, or making sure your body isn’t falling...
The early morning is arguably the best time to get stuff done: Nobody else is awake to bother you, traffic tends to be lighter than any other time of day and you (hopefully) feel refreshed after a full night of sleep. The problem is, waking up before...
There are few things more distracting on that final set than realizing the most powerful muscle movement you’re about to make is in your sphincter. Still, if you work out regularly — especially with endurance or high-impact strength training — you’ve no doubt felt it: Your abdominals...

It seems like every time spring training starts, guys who left the field worn down at the end of September come back in mid-February super-ripped, with tons of new muscle — Red Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi, for example, added an extra 20 pounds to his frame over...
Many commemorative coins — like some of the ones in those ridiculous late-night commercials — are a scam. These insidious coin sellers push the idea that buying their product is a good investment, since the value of the gold in said product (and it being limited edition)...
Tattoos are extremely polarizing: Some people (like — full disclosure — me) can’t get enough of them, while others still believe tattooing is a “demonic craft” (no, really). Whatever your opinion, research arguing that tattoos interfere with the way we sweat — which could have negative repercussions...
Holy ball sweat, it’s expected to be hot this year! And that sucks for many, many reasons: Heat doesn’t just make you sweaty and sticky, it doesn’t just make you cranky, it can also make you… dumb. It’s true — a study by Harvard University’s C-CHANGE (Center for...
For many people, the most uncomfortable part about flying isn’t the cramped legs, the overpriced booze or the screeching devil-child kicking the back of your seat for nine hours: It’s the constipation. But what is it about getting on a plane that causes the rectal equivalent of...
We’re in for a “hotter than average” summer, according to The Weather Channel, which means those living in high-humidity areas — e.g., Louisiana, Florida and Texas — should prepare to experience the wrath of slightly soggy Hades himself. But why is it that moisture in the air...
