If your boss is into the whole science thing, take this to him or her and see if you can get yourself permanent four-day weekends.

A new study out of the University of Melbourne in Australia found that we should only be working three days a week.

The researchers found that our brains can only really function at their peak levels for about 25 hours a week. After that, the quality of our work declines really quickly.

The drop is so bad that if you ever try to pull a crazy 70-hour week, your brain is basically useless by the end.

Now, there is one catch. The study only included people over 40, so it’s possible that younger people can hang in a little longer. But still, no matter how old you are, at some point too much work just makes your brain shut down.

In case you haven’t heard, it’s great to be a guy. Here’s even more proof . . .

According to a new study from the University of Queensland in Australia, women are just as attracted to guys carrying a few extra pounds, as they are to dudes with six-pack abs.

A woman named Phillippa Diedrichs led the study. She interviewed more than 600 men and women, and asked them to rate the attractiveness of several different male body types in print ads.

Phillippa says some of the participants may have, quote, “attributed the models’ muscularity to vanity or homosexuality, characteristics which they may have found unpleasant or discomforting.”

But when guys are a little too skinny, or a little too chubby, they’re thought to be less concerned with their appearance. Apparently, that’s an attractive trait in men.

In other words, packing on a few extra pounds shouldn’t prevent you from pulling chicks. And who knows . . . it might even help.

I was 16 when I first mastered the art of unhooking a bra with one hand. And with seasoning, my skills have only improved. Which is why I’m only kinda impressed with this . . . Read More »

If you told this guy his date would end with nudity, he would’ve been happy. Unfortunately it was the wrong kind of nudity.

A guy in Broward County, Florida met up with a woman he’d been texting on Saturday, to go on a date. But it turned out to be a set up.

When he pulled up in his Mercedes, two of the woman’s male friends pulled guns on him . . . made him strip naked . . . then stole his car, his wallet, his phone, and all his clothes.

This has got to be the worst first date ever!

So he got his hands on another phone and called 911. Then the cops were able to use his Find My iPhone app to track down the carjackers.

They arrested 26-year-old William Gonzalez of Coral Springs, Florida but didn’t find the other guy . . . or the woman who set the whole thing up.

Gonzalez is facing robbery and carjacking charges.

Ironic t-shirts and police mugshots are a match made in heaven. Especially when they go together this perfectly.

29-year-old Joshua Tackett of Kensington, New Hampshire was driving drunk on Friday night. And he lost control, swerved off the road, hit a wall, hit a lamp post, and then came to a stop . . . right in front of a police station.

So the good news for Josh is that help came outside right away. The bad news is that the cops arrested him for drunk driving.

And in his mugshot, you can see he was wearing a t-shirt that said, quote, “This guy needs a beer.”

We’re thinking his beer allocation was just fine though, because in the photo he’s smiling. Either that or he appreciated the irony. His face was pretty banged up too.

We spend a lot of time making jokes about all the ridiculous differences between men and women. And I’ll admit it . . . sometimes we can rely a little too heavily on stupid gender stereotypes to get a laugh.

But there’s no denying that sometimes the stereotypes are true.

To prove my point, here are four gender stereotypes that actually are backed up by science:

#1.) Women can’t drive: It’s not your fault, ladies. It’s just that your brains aren’t wired to process north-and-south navigational directions as well as the male brain.

And studies have also found that the female brain has more trouble orienting itself in three-dimensional spaces. Spaces like . . . you know . . . the real world.

#2.) Guys are filthy slobs: The reason your guy can wear the same filthy T-shirt for a week straight is because . . . unlike you ladies . . . he just can’t tell it smells like rotting garbage.

Physically, there’s no difference between the noses of men and women, and they both have the same number of receptors. But women devote a bigger chunk of their brains to processing scents, which gives them a better sense of smell than men.

#3.) Women are wimps: This is the point where every woman who’s ever lived chimes in to point out that women experience childbirth, which is way more painful than anything a man could ever endure.

But that’s only because when they’re pregnant or have just given birth, women are loaded up with endorphins and a cocktail of other natural chemicals to help them handle the pain.

In general, though, women have more pain receptors in their skin, and less of a protein called GIRK2 that affects their pain threshold. In other words, women are bigger wimps . . . but only because they actually experience more pain than men.

#4.) Women can’t hold their liquor: You probably think it’s because women tend to be smaller physically than men, but that’s NOT the reason they’re lightweights . . . at least not entirely. It has to do with the water-to-fat ratios of their bodies.

See, men are made up of about 61% water, while for women it’s just 52%. Which may not seem like a big deal, but it’s as if every drink a guy has is 9% more watered down than every drink a woman has.

And the male liver also produces more of the enzyme that breaks down alcohol, which causes guys to get a buzz slower, and to sober up faster.

You probably shouldn’t go around calling people fat especially Anna Godfrey of Lincoln, Nebraska. Anna’s 21 years old . . . she’s super chubby . . . and she will mess somebody up if they step out of line.

On Wednesday, Anna was at a birthday party when some dude named Christian Bandiola dared to call her, quote, “FAT.” She responded by biting off a chunk of his ear.

Police say Godfrey ran half a block to catch up with him, and then tackled Christian. Once there, police say she bit his right ear and caused a gash approximately 1/2″x 3/4″ wide – sort of…chunk-sized.

For some reason, Anna was arrested on the suspicion of felony assault. The chunk of Christian’s ear was never found.

Ladies . . . I know you put a lot of time and effort into your hair, and that part of the reason is to look good for your man. But it turns out most guys will like your hair no matter what you do with it.

At least that’s according to a new, informal survey from “Cosmopolitan” magazine. Check it out:

71% of men say they don’t care if their girl styles her hair the same way every day.

83% of men think women in braids are hot.

43% say they love watching a girl put her hair UP, while 37% prefer to watch her take it DOWN. 20% say they’re both equally hot.

76% of men say they love when women sport asymmetrical haircuts.

And 55% of guys say they prefer mid-length hair to hair that’s super long.

This happened at a school in Chengdu, China but I could for sure see it making its way over here.

A teacher at the University of Electronic Science and Technology is punishing students who are late by making them write 1,000 EMOJIS.

From the pictures, it looks like they have to draw the emoji and write its name next to it.

According to a survey by Match.com, these are the ten worst pick-up lines of all time . . .

#1.) “What’s your sign?”

#2.) “Pardon me, I seem to have lost my phone number. Can I borrow yours?”

#3.) “You must be a broom, because you’re sweeping me off my feet.”

#4.) “Do you have a license? Because you’re driving me crazy.”

#5.) “I’ve got a thirst, and baby, you look like my Gatorade.” (???)

#6.) “Are you lost? Because heaven’s a long way from here.”

#7.) “Are you religious? Because you’re the answer to all my prayers.”

#8.) “Can I take your picture? I want Santa to know exactly what I want for Christmas this year.”

#9.) “Do you believe in love at first sight, or should I walk by again?”

#10.) “Well, here I am. What were your other two wishes?”
