Bill Cosby: Not Who We Thought He Was

First, let me get this off my chest: You should NEVER use drugs to influence women to have sex with you, nor should you molest women. No means no. You say you know this, but now it’s “The Cos” and apparently he didn’t really know it, so a little reminder might be needed. Of all of the famous men I can think of, Bill Cosby would not even make the list of those I would suspect of being a sexual predator. He embodied kindness and warmth. He was the ultimate family man. He loved kids. With The Cosby Show, he…

Motion sickness occurs when your body's motion sensors — your eyes and inner ears — don't sync up, says Dr. Michael Zimring, director of the Center for Wilderness and Travel Medicine at Mercy Medical Center in Baltimore. "If you're bobbing up and down in a boat, your inner ear canals will tell the brain that your body is in motion," he explains. "But if you're staring at the seat in front of you, which stays fairly stationary, your eyes will tell…

Is She a Diva or a….?

It’s okay to admit it. You didn’t want to like her. She’s not blonde. She’s not a sex kitten with a big chest and injected lips. She’s… adorable and small. She plays dorky characters in movies. But you can’t help it. You like her anyway. Try not to like Anna Kendrick. She’s cute and witty and actually pretty sharp and ironic. Even she says, “I’m probably, at most, likeable.” If you haven’t yet, follow her @AnnaKendrick47 on Twitter. There’s a pretty sexy pic of her and some great tweets like, “I can do that.

But are they really healthier than tobacco cigarettes and will they help you stop smoking? One of the problems in studying the effects of e-cigs is that they have only been available for short time. Adults, teens, and tweens are all adopting the e-cig. Maybe you’ve seen a new Vape Shop or two – Vape stands for vapor, what is exhaled during “smoking” an e-cig. The popularity is really growing. Each…

Black Ops 2 map thanks to Phil Fischer and The Xbox Boys

Vahn Voyage, a made up name that is written across the back of a large yacht that floats aimlessly off the coast of France, and can be seen as a map on the new Black Ops 2 some are insisting is a riddled thank you to composer Phil Fischer, the lead singer of the rock band The Xbox Boys.
