You obviously love one of your kids more than the other. It’s okay. You don’t have to say which one. But we can tell you which one of them loves you more . . . at least if you believe money is love. Which we do.

According to separate surveys on Mother’s Day spending in the U.S. and Canada, your son loves you more than your daughter.

In the U.S., the average man will spend $189.74 on Mother’s Day. That’s almost 62% more than the average woman, who will spend $117.42.

In Canada, the average man will spend $105.02 on Mother’s Day. That’s 69% more than the average woman, who will spend $61.99.

According to one retail analyst, men usually spend more on gifts for big holidays than women. Quote, “Men tend to have their wallets out less often. But when they do, it’s for big purchases. So there’s a different expectation about what to spend.”

It’s always good to see science being used for something practical. Any scientist can try to cure diseases, right? But only these guys used their knowledge to solve a real problem: Carrying a coffee mug without spilling.

Two mechanical engineers at the University of California, Santa Barbara ran a series of lab experiments to figure out how to walk with a coffee mug without spilling a drop. And these are their three conclusions:

#1.) Start your walk slowly. You don’t want to accelerate too fast . . . that gets the liquid moving too much.

#2.) Leave a gap between the top of the coffee and the top of the mug. They say it should be at least one-eighth of the mug’s diameter. Since you’re not going to bother to calculate that, just leave about half an inch of space.

#3.) Look at the mug while you walk. That keeps your body focused and is the biggest key to preventing a spill.

There’s a reason that painfully cheesy love ballads have been printing money for almost a century now. It’s because they work!!

A new study in Paris found that women find men more attractive if there’s a love song playing than they do if there’s a rap, heavy metal or rock song on.

Researchers also found that a woman was twice as likely to give a guy her number when the background music in the room was a love ballad.

I hate to pull the sexism card, but dang it all, everyone’s sexist. Not me… or you, of course . . . just everyone else.

A new survey found that when a woman has a lot of gray hair, people think she’s six year older than she is. But when a man has a lot of gray hair, people only think he’s three years older than he is.

The survey also found 74% of women dye their gray hairs when they first notice them, versus only 18% of men.

Men are actually much more worried about going bald.

71% say they’re more worried about losing their hair than going gray, and only 36% are actually worried at all about their hair turning gray.

According to a study out of Italy, drinking red wine increases a woman’s, quote, “sexual appetite.” And no, not just because she’s drunk.

So I’ll just leave this link here for ya fellas Stonehaus Winery.

Doctors at the University of Florence tested three groups of sexually healthy women ages 18 to 50. One group drank one to two glasses of red wine a day, one group drank a few glasses a week, and one completely abstained from red wine.

In the end, the women who drank red wine daily reported higher sexual appetites and improved sexual performance.

The doctors think it could be because certain chemical compounds in red wine increase blood flow . . . including blood flow to the ummm you know . . . which helps a woman get turned on quicker and enjoy sex more.

I mean there is even a song about it!

A weatherman in Hungary recently got fired for adding flatulence sound effects to his report about high winds. If you were a weatherman here and did that, you’d probably be heralded for your creativity and get a raise.

Anyway, the whole video is in Hungarian, but it doesn’t really matter. Read More »

We’re living in the “promposal” era, where just ASKING someone to the prom isn’t good enough anymore . . . you either put on an elaborate show or you might as well not bother. It’s terrible.

And this kid just escalated the “promposal” to a place where even adults with salaries like us would have trouble pulling it off!!

Thomas Maher is a senior at Marcos de Niza High School in Tempe, Arizona. And he just took his girlfriend Annalise Wilfert on a trip to Hawaii for his “promposal.” Are you kidding me!!!!

They told the whole story to “Seventeen” magazine, who mention that they’re both, quote, “aspiring social media stars.” Because of course they are.

There’s no word on where Thomas got the money from to pay for the trip.

And their prom is this Saturday.

Alot more planned for this summer ?? pic.twitter.com/ofr6Oshx6G

During the graduation ceremony at North Saint Paul High School in Minnesota, two guys in the crowd got into a fight.  Then later on, one of the kids tripped while he was stepping off the stage, and landed on his face.

There’s a ridiculous infomercial out for a fart-proof blanket that’s designed for married people who can’t stand sleeping next to someone with bad gas. And they say it’s made out of the same material the military uses to protect against chemical weapons.

There are a million old wives’ tales about how to predict your unborn baby’s sex. But are any of them true? A writer for NewScientist.com who’s pregnant decided to do some research. Here’s what she found . . .

OLD WIVES’ TALE #1.) BAD MORNING SICKNESS MEANS IT’S A BOY. Actually, the opposite might be true. In 1999, doctors in Sweden analyzed the records of over 8,000 women they treated for morning sickness.

55.7% had girls, and only 44.3% had boys. Compare that to the general population. Overall, 51.4% of the babies born in Sweden are boys. And a separate study in Denmark had similar statistics.

But here’s something else they found that’s even weirder. Single Mothers with morning sickness were even more likely to have girls. Only 40% of them had boys.

OLD WIVES’ TALE #2.) IF THE BABY HAS A FAST HEARTBEAT, IT’S A GIRL. According to this one, if the baby’s heart rate is higher than 140 beats per minute, you’re having a girl.

But researchers used an ultrasound to measure the heartbeats of 477 babies in their first trimester, and there wasn’t much of a difference. The average heart rate for girls was 152 beats per minute, and the average heart rate for boys was 155.

Plus, it changes depending on what stage of pregnancy you’re in. At the beginning of a pregnancy, the baby’s heart rate is between 170 and 200 beats per minute. Then by the second trimester, it’s drops to between 120 and 160 beats per minute.

The only time there IS a difference is during labor. Baby girls tend to have faster heart rates than boys do, but no one knows why.

OLD WIVES’ TALE #3.) WEIRD FOOD CRAVINGS MEANS IT’S A BOY. This one actually has a little science to back it up, but still it’s probably just a myth.

Researchers in Boston found that pregnant women with big appetites have boys more often. But they didn’t say anything about women who crave weird food.

And the problem is, it’s hard to know if you have a bigger appetite than other women because ALL pregnant women eat more than they usually do.

OLD WIVES’ TALE #4.) WOMEN JUST KNOW. Some women say their “female intuition” can predict the baby’s sex. And guess what . . . they might be right.

In 1998, researchers at the University of Tucson asked 108 pregnant women to predict the sex of their baby. 60% guessed right. Of course, the chances of guessing right are fifty-fifty anyway, so it’s not THAT amazing.

OLD WIVES’ TALE #5.) THE SHAPE OF THE BUMP. The myth is, if you’re carrying the baby high, it’s a boy, if you’re carrying the baby low, it’s a girl. But there’s really nothing to back this one up either.

The only thing that can predict a baby’s sex with close to 100% accuracy is a sonogram. They’re 95% accurate.
