Love thy Government
By Cuervo CREATED Feb. 1, 2013
On Thursday, the U.S. Justice Department filed a lawsuit to stop two large beer companies from merging and to keep beer prices LOW for all of us. On Thursday, the U.S. Justice Department filed a lawsuit to stop a merger between Anheuser-Busch InBev and a Mexican beer company called Grupo Modelo. The deal is worth $20.1 billion. Together, the two companies represent about 46% of beer sales in the U.S. Meaning it would leave free range on raising beer prices. In other words, your government is fighting to keep beer prices low for all of us.

Cheaters Beware
By Matthew Cuellar CREATED Jan. 28, 2013
If you're cheating on your significant other . . . you should hold onto your phone at all times. Two in five cheaters who were caught got busted when their partner went through their phone. One in five got caught on a social media site . . . and one in eight by files on their laptop. So you do your self a favor and maybe not cheat. No point in being in a relationship if you're going to cheat.

GOOD LOOKS. A new survey found the average handsome man makes $85,900 a year. While the average unattractive man makes $52,100. That's a difference of $33,800. The researchers didn't find the same effect with women..... Say what!?!

Oh the bedroom, you know where the magic happens..right? Or if your like any regular couple in the world where not only sleep happens but arguments and relaxation. If your bed could talk would it say you have a disfunctional relationship or a spicy laid back one? lol according to "The Complete Sheet" The average couple owns a mattress for 10 years. And a new study figured out what that mattress sees over that decade. On average, the bed will see 48 days of TV watching, 720 arguments, 480 sex sessions, 4,160 kisses, 240 books read, and just two years and eight months of sleep.

Imagine swimming in the ocean in Maui. Relaxing and surely a beautiful site to see. Then out of know where a 12ft tiger shark is swimming right at you. Quick thinking what to you do? Freak out, panic? Well that's probably what most of us would do. But not this 51 yr old woman who happens to be a black belt in Tae Kwan Do. She was able to fight the shark and hurt it enough that it swam away without biting her. I think I'm gonna start learning some mixed martial arts. I mean I want to be able to say "Yup I'm a bad ass, I beat up a shark and won."

So being from Chicago you always hear people complaining about gas prices. Why? Because the price is ridiculously high. It's like you have to choose if you want to eat for the week or fill up your tank to get to work to make money that goes right back into the car. Any ways I was strolling through the web and found a article how some people from San Diego are taking a trip to Tijuana. Now keep in mind there are bad drug wars going on there right now. Yet people are still willing to travel for cheap gas. Trust me I'm all about cheap gas but its not worth dying for. Thank goodness we live in Missouri where gas is still under 4 bucks. WINNING!

So I stumble upon a article about how America has the cheapest beer. So naturally I stopped and checked it out. "The Economist" found that America has the CHEAPEST BEER IN THE WORLD. It said that it takes the average American five minutes of work to afford a beer, in India it takes about fifty minutes of work to get a cold one. This blows my mind and makes me proud to be an American. I say good day.

A new survey found the average amount of time we WASTE on different things in our lives. We wait an average of seven minutes in line every time we get coffee . . . we waste 21 minutes waiting for our significant other to get ready . . . we spend 28 minutes getting through airport security . . . and we take 34 minutes to pick out a gift. What's crazy is that doesnt include all of the other things we do in our lives that could be considered wasting time. I would like to see a postive survey that says how much people acually "Work" rather then all the time I waste through out my life. And another thing, would going to the bathroom be considered "Wasting time"???

International Talk Like a Pirate Day peaked a few years back, but this year it MIGHT be worth resurrecting again. Tomorrow is the unofficial holiday of Talk Like a Pirate Day, where you're SUPPOSED to dress and talk like a pirate. And if you DO dress like a pirate and go into a Krispy Kreme tomorrow, they'll give you a free donut. All I know is I'm gonna Captain Jack Sparrow it up tomorrow and get my pirate on and get some free donuts!

According to a study by the University of Southern California, the most popular kids at school are the most likely to smoke . . . and the more popular you are, the EARLIER you start smoking. The study also found that the effect of peer pressure is HUGE: When kids were deciding whether to smoke, they cared more about whether their FRIENDS smoked than whether it was popular with other people in general. I call this natural selection. If the "Cool" kids want to smoke let them. Sometimes you just have to let nature run its course and weed out the extra slack. So remember its cool not to be "Cool". lol

According to a survey by Visa, tooth values have rebounded. The tooth fairy now pays an average of three dollars a tooth. That's a 15% increase over last year, when she only paid $2.60 per tooth. Only 3% of kids get less than a dollar . . . which is down from 7% last year. 8% get more than five bucks . . . which is more than twice as many as last year. All I have to say about this is I got ripped off as a child. Im almost thinking about having Scott knock my teeth out to I can come up on some money.

According to a survey by a British website called Siteopia, only one in five people call their partner by their actual name all the time. The rest have 'pet names' for each other.

It's one thing to call yourself an ELVIS PRESLEY fan. But if you're willing to buy a pair of the guy's STAINED UNDERWEAR, you've taken random a little too far. And if you're willing to pay $16,000 for said stained underwear, you need HELP. But a British auction house is selling a pair of stained tighty whities that Elvis wore back in 1977, so people wouldn't see panty lines on his infamous white jumpsuit. This is crazy. I mean if people are that crazy for used undies, heck I'll give mine away for free.

This weekend is the 38th annual Wisconsin State Cow Chip Throw. That's a huge contest where people compete to see who can throw dried cow feces the farthest. But there's a problem. Because of the drought, the cows have been staying close to their barns, not out in the fields, so their poop hasn't been drying in the sun. And the contest only has enough 'cow chips' for about two-thirds of the participants. Don't know about you but I will struggle to go on with my day to day life knowing this.

OK, so I'm going through the greatness that is the world wide web. ( For all you young ones, that's the Internet.) And what do I come to find "Kim Kardashian wants a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and thinks reality t.v is misunderstood like rap once was.

Back in February of 2010, a 43-year-old went to a McDonald's in Tennessee and got a hot fudge sundae. The manager made it and put the hot fudge on the BOTTOM, not the top. That sent the man into a RAGE and he PUNCHED the manager in the FACE. On Tuesday, he was convicted of misdemeanor assault and got $1,050 in fines . . . with a possibility for jail time at his sentencing next month.

There's a restaurant chain in Texas called the Twisted Root Burger Company, where the servers are allowed to give REALLY small discounts for joke reasons. From what I am gathering at this restaurant the employees are able to give small discounts for ridiculous reasons. For instance one server knocked off 50 cents for the customer having a great butt and being hot.

About one in four people have a 45 minute commute to work, each way. That means you spend approximately 15 full days a year sitting in traffic. Which is just about the same amount of time you get for vacation. So that is awesome. What I have noticed about living in Springfield is that the traffic is horrible. So when I found this article I had to post it up here. It's crazy to think that you spend more time hating your life in horrible traffic then loving your life on a beach. And to think I will be on vacation soon. Makes vacations sound that much better. Have a great day.
