Does Your Dog Get It More Than You?

Tell her you love her and bring home a bottle of wine! It's likely she'll give it up!

The number one route to lovemaking for both men and women is dinner and a bottle of wine. About 24% of men and 26% of women responded that is the magic combo for getting their motors running.

Younger men and women (ages 18-34) are also likely to get turned on by a sexy text or email (22% compared with only 12% of their more mature counterparts). However, nearly half of all adults (50% of men and 43% of women) have "talked dirty" over the phone to heat things up.

Hint for men: the number one way to make your lady friend feel sexy is simply to tell her, "I love you."

Nearly half of all women (42%) say this is the surest way to boost their libido. That's almost twice as many as were turned on when their guys told them, "You are so hot" (25%).

Did you ever wonder if other people were having more sex than you? The answer depends on if you are married or single. Couples who are married or living together have sex 2.4 times a week on average, versus singles, who report they are getting busy a lusty 5.3 times a week.

The good news for couples is that 38% say they fantasize about their significant other or spouse as opposed to a colleague (19%) or a friend's spouse (8%). The bad news is that 38% also fantasize about getting it on with a celeb.

That's All Right Mama

A true piece of Memphis history continues to sit with a fence sourounding it and boards on all points of entry. Elvis' "That's All Right Mama" graced the radio airwaves for the first time in 1954, from the Chisca Hotel at Main Street and MLK. After many attempts to save it, a group of developers are finally stepping up to re-hab the building into apartments and retail. Initial green lights have been given to throw in a couple million to help the project, but a full city council vote and many other hurdles still remain. HIGH FIVES to those finally stepping up and saving this landmark.

WTFK?!

Kodak Had a Secret Nuclear Reactor Loaded With Enriched Uranium Hidden In a Basement

Kodak may be going under, but apparently they could have started their own nuclear war if they wanted, just six years ago. Down in a basement in Rochester, NY, they had a nuclear reactor loaded with 3.5 pounds of enriched uranium—the same kind they use in atomic warheads.

But why did Kodak have a hidden nuclear reactor loaded with weapons-grade uranium? And how did they get permission to own it, let alone install it in a basement in the middle of a densely populated city?

Nobody really knows. Kodak officials now admit that they never made any public announcement about it. In fact, nobody in the city—officials, police or firemen—or in the state of New York or anywhere else knew about it until it was recently leaked by an ex-employee. Its existence and whereabouts were purposely kept vague and only a few engineers and Federal employees really knew about the project.

Study On Too Many Studies

Back in 2010, the Pentagon felt it was overrun with studies. So to find out if they were running too many studies . . . yep, they commissioned a study on whether they were running too many studies.

It gets worse. Now it's two years later and the Government Accountability Office wanted to review that study on studies. But they felt it needed a deeper investigation.

So THEY ran a study on the study to see if we run too many studies. Which REALLY should've answered their question.

Their conclusion was that the Pentagon's study on studies was incomplete and poorly executed . . . it only reviewed nine studies, lost the findings on six of those, and didn't actually figure out the costs behind the studies.

The GAO didn't release how much money has been blown on studies or studies on studies . . . but, like everything with the government, you can assume it's nauseatingly high. Ladies and gentlemen, your tax dollars at work.
