6 Cups of Watermelon Should Do the Trick

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Fri, 04 Jul 2008 06:08:00 +0000

A new study funded by the US Department of Agriculture suggests that watermelon contains a compound that might have effects similar to erectile dysfunction drugs like Viagra and Levitra. The only problem is that you'd probably have to eat about 6 cups of watermelon to get enough of the active ingredient, citrulline, to achieve the desired effect.

Near-Hostile Takeovers, Part 2

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 05:13:00 +0000

From TrendWatching.com:

Though more 'intention economy' than crowd power, Dutch ING Bank's WoonWaarUWilt ("LiveWhereYouWant") initiative is too much fun to not include: the service lets clients make an offer on houses that aren't on the market, but that they'd love to own. After potential buyers fill in a form on woonwaaruwilt.nl, including their dream home's address and the initial offer they're willing to make, iBlue contacts them to discuss whether the offer is reasonable, and adjusts it if necessary. A mortgage consultant also determines whether the buyers would be able to finance the purchase. iBlue then sends a preliminary offer to the property's current owners, explaining the situation and enquiring as to whether they'd consider selling.

My spin: a similar service that lets clients make an offer on a person they're romantically interested in but who isn't available.

Principal Bans Football Players in Drag

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 15 Nov 2007 02:29:00 +0000

Did you hear that the principal of a Philadelphia-area high school is banning a bunch of male football players from the Thanksgiving day pep rally and threatening to suspend them because they went out on the field in cheerleading costumes at an annual powder puff game in which female students play football? Hey, maybe it's time the principal turned the other cheek. (Or, as Craig Ferguson might say, he's being pretty damn cheeky.)
