What goes in must come out. What goes up must come down. And after a dude ejaculates, he sometimes feel really, really sad. Philosophers and scientists have long had a few theories as to why men get these feelings, but now psychology professor Robert Schweitzer of Queensland...
I’m somewhat ashamed to admit that my booze stash consists of a half-empty bottle of two-year-old vodka in the freezer, a random assortment of maybe three beers in the fridge and a cheap bottle of red wine that was opened at some unknown point in time on...

In the annals of personal branding, one of the shrewdest moves ever recorded has to be NBA star Anthony Davis coming up with the slogan “Fear the Brow.” In trademarking it (you may recall he literally did this in 2012), Davis not only monopolized the monobrow as His...
It’s been said that music soothes the savage beast, but how well does it work to help us humans get stuff done? News reports on how listening to certain tunes eases your workday productivity (if you don’t use headphones, at least) are widespread, claiming everything from acoustic...
