Benefits of Daydreaming!

Working memory is essentially the RAM of your brain; you use it for multitasking with active information, usually in the space of a few seconds.
Researchers asked participants to perform tasks so simple that their minds would wander. They checked in to see how often the participants started daydreaming. Afterward, researchers asked the subjects to remember information while doing math problems, and found that participants whose minds had wandered more had better working memory. The implication, according to the study's authors, seems to be that daydreaming is the application of extra resources -- a mind with a considerable store of working memory is more likely to wander when that store isn't being occupied with anything.

Women are attracted to men with bulldog faces???

Guys with bulldog-like faces have been chick magnets throughout human evolutionary history.


A recent study of the skulls of human ancestors and modern humans finds that women, and thereby, evolution, selected for males with relatively short upper faces. The region between the brow and the upper-lip is scrunched proportionately to the overall size of their heads.

Dogs for the Big Boys


They don’t call them man’s best friend for nothing.


Having a pet is almost as common as having furniture. While it isn’t fair to compare a pet to your favorite La-Z-Boy chair, pets are the all-encompassing fixture of a good man’s household -- they are fun, intelligent and both a traditional and contemporary symbol of a happy individual. Dogs provide all this and more; a guy will never go wrong with a faithful friend by his side -- especially if it’s one of our top 10 dogs.

Our picks are not necessarily aggressive or wild by nature. These dogs are measured by their physical presence (a combination of size, strength, endurance, agility, and appearance), intelligence and personality. These will be used as our three gauges, measured out of a score of 10, and the better the synergy between the three, the manlier the dog. So, let’s take a look at 10 dogs a guy can own. Read more...

5 Things About Pitbulls

There's no canine out there quite as controversial as the pit bull. Many perceive it as an unpredictable and dangerous domesticated dog, a popular consensus that has led to pit bull bans in some communities (such as the city of Denver). Others protest that the breed has gotten the bum's rush at every turn, and that pit bulls are in fact very much misunderstood.


So what's the real deal? Are pit bulls really dangerous animals that should be feared? Or are they actually mild-tempered family dogs that only transform into monsters in the hands of a negligent owner?

Jessica Paré


Why is She famous
If Jessica Pare -- Hollywood’s newly-minted “It Girl” -- is experiencing deja vu, it’s because the striking Montreal-born actress has been here before. After breaking out on the big screen 10 years ago in Canadian auteur Denys Arcand’s Stardom, followed by her Hollywood debut in Wicker Park, Pare was a consensus actress-to-watch. It wasn’t a case of if she made it, but when.

Sale: A bottle of whisky for $200,000

Johnnie Walker only made 60 bottles of Diamond Jubilee, a whisky intended to celebrate the 60-year reign of Queen Elizabeth II. The whisky was distilled in 1952, the year of the queen's coronation, and comes in a decanter that features a half-caret diamond and the royal coat of arms. The bottles were initially sold by invitation only and were priced at 100,000 pounds in Britain (about $160,000). The Singapore bottle is part of a larger show (called Master of Spirits II) whose collected offerings total over a million dollars, including a bottle of Glenfiddich 1973 Cask No. 9899 and a Hennessy liquor chest topped with glass Murano pearls.
