Last month, Wits University and RAU scientists released the results of a
recent analysis that revealed the presence of female hormones in beer.
Men should take a concerned look at their beer consumption.

The theory is that beer contains female hormones (hops contain Phytoestrogens) and that by drinking enough beer, men turn into women .
To test the theory, 100 men drank 8 pints of beer each within a 1 hour period.

It was then observed that 100% of the test subjects :

1) Argued over nothing.
2) Refused to apologize when obviously wrong.
3) Gained weight.
4) Talked excessively without making sense.
5) Became overly emotional
6) Couldn't drive.
7) Failed to think rationally.
8) Had to sit down while urinating.

No further testing was considered necessary.

Just before Christmas I saw a bunch of google ads stating "I need a million dollars" and requesting donations. Wow - I wonder if that worked and if in fact anyone gave this person money via a donation? The sheer audacity of the approach must have got some sort of response you would think.

Beggars must make some money or else why would there be so many? And why shouldn't folks try the internet to beg?

In fact, on all of my blogs I ask the reader to buy me a beer. This is a form of begging I suppose but in return for that donation I am at least providing some entertainment - more like a street busker than a beggar. However, you are obviously a tight-fisted lot as I have not once received a beer from anyone who visited this and/or my other sites.

So come on. Step up and simply give me some cash please. I really need it I do and I have set a target of raising $100,000 to pay off my son's college loans..... my gambling debts and internet porn subscriptions.

We all put off things we have to do... it is human nature. But imagine doing a Ph.D. to come up with a formula for calculating what we will put off and for how long? Now a Canadian university has produced the definitive study of procrastination.

Piers Steel a psychologist at the University of Calgary, has drawn up an equation to explain why and how long we put off tasks. The answer is yes..... U=ExV/IxD!

The desire to compete the task (U) is equal to the expectation of success (E) multiplied by the value of completion (V), divided by the immediacy of task (I) times the personal sensitivity of delay (D); thus, U=ExV/IxD.

Procrastination is getting worse in today’s “motivationally toxic” workplace, says Steel, which means there are far too many distractions such as eBay, YouTube, the coffee machine, Rant-here and so on.

Just recently I have been looking into business opportunities and in particular franchising opportunities. Franchising provides you a route into business ownership with the back-up of a larger organisation. By purchasing a franchise, new business owners are able to avoid enduring the learning curve of operating a new business by taking advantage of a proven business model and product. It’s an opportunity to be in business for yourself but not by yourself.

Franchises provide you with a supported business meaning you can get on with running it knowing that things like advertising and so forth are done for you.

It's hard to browse the internet and not read all of the conspiracy theories out there but I for one am beginning to wonder.... the evidence that 911 was an inside job continues to accumulate and I somehow believe that the current financial crisis is somewhat convenient too.

Sex on the Beach is some kind of alcoholic drink. I've never had one so I don't have a clue as to what is in it. In Dubai however, sex on the beach cost one British couple three months in jail, a fine and deportation. I'm not surprised. The Brits are notorious for their drunken antics overseas and that stiff upper lip decorum that Brits were so well known for at one time appears to have been replaced by a stiff something else...

The Brits are becoming about as welcome as American tourists these days making a nuisance of themselves all around because of their sheer inability to consume alcohol and keep their private parts private. I vote we rename that cocktail to Brits having sex on the Beach....

The most widely read and popular post on this site is about high heels and a woman's sex life so apparently there is interest in high heels out there. Well, here is some bad news.... a British designer has introduced high heels without heels!

Well has the whole world gone mad? The financial meltdown is created by us panicking and it is now almost a self fulfilling prophecy and it is truly frightening. In times like this historically wars have followed.

Who is to blame? I think we all are frankly. Easy loans, easy credit. Go out and live a great life on your credit card. But if you really look hard isn't that the US lifestyle that has been gradually exported over the years. The US has been literally bankrupt for decades with its huge balance of payment negatives - where was all that money coming from? Banks. They gave out money to anyone wanting it in the form of loans, mortgages and more as we all tried to have the American Dream which now looks increasingly like a bloody nightmare.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad again showed just how out of touch he is with the world while speaking at the UN. Amongst his usual racist, anti-semitic, denial of historical facts and image-laced speech was the concept that the American Empire was about to end. Oh really? Someone ought to remind him that the Persian empire ended several thousand years ago.

I mean its not that I totally disagree with what he is trying to say it is simply the ridiculous way in which he says it.

Does Size Matter? Given the spam I get, it does in Men's minds but does it really? Have your say....
