Winter can wreak havoc on your skin, leaving you with chapped lips, itchy limbs…and, apparently, a rash on your rear-end. Yup, add your car’s seat-heating function to the list of things that can make your skin go funny in the winter. It’s called “toasted skin syndrome,” and according to Reuters, it’s a totally real thing that can hurt the delicate skin of your derriere. More
Diarrhea. Uncontrolled vomiting. Aches and pains. These are the symptoms that are plaguing as many as 200 high school cheerleaders and their families across Washington state following a cheerleading competition last weekend, which was attended by around 3,000 people. And you thought you were having a terrible week.

For ages, cat people have desperately trying to shake the personal of, well, being crazy cat people. Do they sometimes wear sweaters with cats on them? Sure. Do they read Cat Fancy cover-to-cover? Perhaps. Are they possibly being driven toward schizophrenia and other forms of mental illness by their beloved felines? Possibly, according to one biologist, and several studies. More
Do you floss? Brush twice a day? Drink enough water? It’s ok, you’re not at the dentist–you don’t have to lie. But if you, like at least a quarter of the population, suffer from halitosis (or, as it’s more commonly know, just plain old bad breath) you may want to stop at the store to get some Reach on your way home. Because bad breath isn’t just a bummer–its causes are pretty repulsive. More
Oh, PETA. While I agree with you that luxury fox fur merkins aren’t exactly desirable or the best use of resources, I’m just not sure I can get behind turning the former residence of an accused (but acquitted)Â murderer into a “Meat is Murder” museum. Which, according to Teddy Hilton, is exactly what you’re trying to do with O.J. Simpson‘s soon-to-be-foreclosed house. This, PETA, is not how you get people on your side. More
If you’ve resolved to eat better in the New Year, you may be considering reducing your meat consumption–or at least opting to eat animals that have been sustainably and humanely raised. Might you consider turning to your own back yard, like one woman in Seattle? The forager and ultra-localvore has recently received quite a bit of media attention for an unusual protein source that she’s been serving to her family and friends: squirrel meat. Â Yup. Squirrels. From her yard. Which are, apparently, a pretty nutritious protein source. More
Most Americans have long retired from their Atkins-induced madness, which had many believing that bacon in butter was a better choice than whole grains. Of course, cutting carbs is still popular, but even former disciples of the diet have backed off the butter. Apparently, Norway’s dieters have not–and it’s the immense popularity of a high-fat, low-carb diet that’s being largely blamed for the country’s butter shortage. Maybe now’s the time for Norwegians to begin experimenting with less fatty alternatives? More
It is November–not that you’d know it by the must-be-April-Fools’-day opinion piece that the Guardian ran over the weekend about slow eaters. Today from the Ridiculous Op-Ed News Desk, we bring you this amazingly absurd piece of writing about one of the most asinine topics ever given a few hundred words. More
Every year around (usually between Halloween and the holidays), newspapers and websites like to trod out scary stories about really unsafe and stupid things that college students will do to get a buzz on. From snorting household spices to self-prescribing alcohol-soaked suppositories, tales of the supposed popularity of these  kinds of extreme substance abuse methods almost always hit the internet around Thanksgiving–just in time for kids to come home and parents to be concerned.
