I’m not sure college kids need lessons on how to waste time on the Internet . . . they’ve been doing it since the first day they touched a computer. But one Ivy League school wants to help them dig even deeper.

The University of Pennsylvania’s English department is offering a course this year called “Wasting Time on the Internet.” The description says the class will, quote, “Explore the long history of recuperation of boredom and time-wasting.”

Here are five more ridiculous classes colleges are actually offering this year . . .

1. “How to Win a Beauty Pageant: Race, Gender, Culture, and U.S. National Identity.” It’s offered by Oberlin College’s Contemporary American Studies department.

2. “Tree Climbing,” at Cornell University’s Physical Education department.

3. “Tattoos, Piercing, and Body Adornment.” It’s offered by Pitzer College’s Asian American Studies department.

4. “Kanye Versus Everybody!” from Georgia State University’s English department.

5. “On Being Bored,” at Brown University’s English department.

I guess we should’ve seen this coming.  A company called Costumeish.com just started selling a brand new costume for Halloween 2015:  The “Lion Killer Dentist.”

If that doesn’t ring any bells for you, then you must’ve been on a deserted island a few weeks ago.  A dentist named Walter Palmer killed a famous lion named Cecil on an African hunting trip.

The costume comes with a dentist’s smock covered in fake blood splatters . . . white surgical gloves covered in fake blood splatters . . . a few dentist tools for the front pocket . . . and a fake severed lion’s head.

It sells for $60, and 15% of the proceeds are going toward a wildlife foundation.

33-year-old Johnathon Weeks is the founder of Costumeish, and he’s already anticipating the backlash.

Quote, “Halloween is a really tricky day . . . it’s almost [about] desensitizing things.  Maybe our money has Cecil’s blood on it.  I’m not here to offend anybody, I’m just here to keep things questionable.”

This is the easiest $25 you’ll ever make.

There was a class-action lawsuit filed against Starkist Tuna about two-and-a-half years ago, claiming they were intentionally under-filling their cans by a few tenths of an ounce.

And they just settled the lawsuit.  Even though they didn’t officially admit to anything, they’re paying up.

If you bought at least one five-ounce can of Starkist tuna between February 19th, 2009 and October 31st of last year, you’re eligible for $25 . . . or $50 in tuna.

Now, odds are you don’t have any grocery store receipts to prove you bought the tuna.  But that’s fine.  You just have to say you did.  Although if you lie, you could be facing perjury charges . . . but we have no idea how they’ll prove it.

To claim your free money, go to TunaLawsuit.com and fill out a claim form before November 20th.

Kelly Keegs was a passenger on the flight where a guy broke up with his girlfriend on a plane!! Who does that???

Kelly live tweeted the whole thing!! Here are some sample Tweets… You can see them all here!

TV station KDSK in Missouri received this picture from a viewer Jan Castellano. This morning she opened up her new package of Earth Origins Organic Spread to find…. Trump!

A guy in Plymouth, England wanted to get his girlfriend’s name tattooed on his neck. And apparently he was all about the biggest trend of 2002, since he had the tattoo artist write it in Chinese.

But after he got it, he had a friend who spoke Chinese read it. And it turns out it wasn’t his girlfriend’s name . . . it translated to “Windows 7.”

It’s not clear whether the tattoo artist did it as a joke, or if he Googled the girlfriend’s name in Chinese and got confused.

What’s the best way to show your wife you love her? Men’s Health magazine asked married women that question. The main thing: It’s the little things that count.

– Notice when she’s stressed. Women don’t always ask when they need help. They stop talking, tell you everything’s fine, and sigh a lot. so take notice of her signals, then, do something that needs doing without being asked – the dishes, cleaning, take the kids, etc.

– Create a romantic routine. One of the women surveyed said that every time she takes a shower, her husband stops whatever he’s doing to scrub her back. “Although he’s done this since we wed almost eight years ago, it still makes me feel special each time,” she says.

– Problem solving can be unexpectedly romantic. Several of the women fondly recalled a time when their husbands performed a simple task that made their lives easier. Said one woman: “After he noticed my frustration in waiting for my laptop to work, my husband surprised me by ordering and installing more memory on it. I hadn’t complained about it; he just saw me struggling and fixed it.”

– Craft a surprise she’ll love. A little surprise brightens an otherwise mundane day and reminds her of your affection. One woman said that her husband has been hiding scratch-off lottery tickets around the house for her for decades. “His hiding places have been great,” she says. “He’ll wrap them in the toilet paper in the guest bathroom, or I’ll find them in my lingerie drawer. Discovering them is like finding money every time.”

– Make her coffee every morning, or bring her a glass of wine each night.

Here’s a good gauge to find out if you’re a speed pooper or not. According to a new survey, the average man spends eight minutes sitting on the toilet when he’s pooping.

Assuming you do it once a day, that adds up to around two entire days every year sitting on the toilet.

Here are a few more new stats on men’s bathroom and grooming habits . . .

Guys spend an average of $13.20 on haircuts.

Only 18% of men have looked in a woman’s medicine cabinet on a date.

65% wouldn’t share a toothbrush with their significant other.

And 76% of men believe they’re at least somewhat attractive.

On a related note, there’s a new app called “Pooductive” that lets you anonymously chat with other people sitting on the toilet.

You’d like to think that we could all behave like mature adults, since, you know, we are all adults. But that really doesn’t happen . . .
