In response to Jason Dinant’s (yeah, we don’t know, either) successful development of six-pack abs, exercise physiologist Pete McCall warns dieters that exercising for aesthetic goals may not be healthy.
“McCall suggested forming goals such as being able to run a certain distance or doing a number of pull-ups or push-ups to shift the focus from appearances to fitness.”
OK, so what if your goal is to wash your clothes using your stomach?
I work in corporate America. Most of the time, it’s not fun. I have to live with overlords that don’t exactly know how to effectively talk to their customers, customers that don’t know who to accurately blame for their troubles, managers who don’t quite have the skillset to do their job properly and a cafeteria that believes a strong menu is based off having green beans on the menu everyday. Yuck. I also have a pretty sweet benefits package.
Of course, seeing as how I don’t do anything dangerous outside of driving my car, I never actually utilize said benefits package.
But you know what? I’m still less stressed out than over 2200 people in Japan. I’m okay with that.
Rhode Island is getting a push to have the state’s official name changed. No, it will not be known as Rhode Ochocinco, but rather it will more than likely drop the “and Providence of Plantations” from the end of its name in order to no longer be associated with slavery.
Suggested name changes by The Guys for other states:
It seems like we’re starting off a lot of our mornings with stories about the War on Animals these days. We’re sorry about that, but our job isn’t to make the news or even filter it, our job is to let you know what’s going on when no one else will. You’re welcome.
And now, monkeys have little respect for Zambian President Rupiah Banda. The monkey, hiding in a tree like the coward it is, peed on the president during a press conference. The president’s reaction: “Perhaps these are blessings.”
Mr. President, you may believe you are golden, but your showers are not supposed to be.

There was a brief dust-up in the iPhone world today. I’d mention that it affected the iPod Touch, but have only seen these mythological non-3G beasts in Apple Stores. Apple finally approved the development and sale of adult-oriented apps in the iTunes store.
The first app to get greenlit is “Hottest Girls,” which apparently shows you naked women of the “hottest” variety. I haven’t downloaded it, yet, but my definition of “hottest” is pregnant transsexual quadruple amputees sitting in dietary breakfast shakes, so we’ll see if there’s a lawsuit for false advertising in that developer’s future.
Unfortunately, I can’t test it out. Apple pulled the app after mere hours of approving it. Continue reading Take it from Snee: The ‘i’ is for ‘indecency’
So, according to the U.S. Supreme Court, if you want to strip search a teenage girl, you better make sure she’s likely to carry contraband.
That’s why SeriouslyGuys endorses Bad Girls.
Yes, Bad Girls, the girls guaranteed to have something incriminating on them.
They’re the Vice Principal’s best friend, but only because they spend so much time in your office!
Bad Girls are available in different flavors, including:
Bad Girls: two out of three Clarence Thomases can’t be wrong!
Great. We are SO boned now. First step, Atari games, next step, the enslavement of humanity. Or our eradication. Whichever our robot overlords feel up to once they assume control.
At Rutgers University, a robot has learned how to play Pitfall for the Atari. Thanks to the university’s Object-Oriented Markov Decision Processes, the AI tries then tries again until it knows how to do something. Also, it dances.
Imagine what happens when it applies this knowledge to killing the human race?
Alright, so you’re a hooker if you accept cash to have sex, correct? So why is it exactly legal to pay people not to have sex? Because fellas, that’s exactly what is happening in our own state of North Carolina.
This one goes out to the high-school guys: if you’re looking for a happy ending to a road trip, first in flight should not be your first option. Given that the University of North Carolina at Greensboro is paying girls from ages 12 to 18 not to get knocked up. The young ladies receive one dollar every day, and a check for $7 every week they don’t wake up with morning sickness.
The Guys however are claiming sexual bias, given that we were never offered $$$ for all the years we’ve had to go without getting any.
France is under attack, which means surrender is all but imminent at this point.
One or several crocodiles were reported in a pond near a French village, and apparently, the Frenchies aren’t used to seeing them. But the locals are calling it the “Loch Ness monster of the Vosges,” because they think it’s a monster and “the Vosges monster” was apparently taken.
Rather than grabbing torches and pitchforks, as most villagers would do when confronted with a monster, they are trying to draw the monster out, using a chicken as bait, and they may even drain the pond.
Another idea being kicked around is the construction of a massive, fortified wall along the path the crocodiles have previously invaded.
BOOM! BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM! CHUNK-CHUNK-CHUNK-CHUNK-CHONK. ZOOM!
That’s the recurring theme of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. The giant robots from another planet are back, but this time, they range in sizes other than just giant. Nonetheless, it’s big, it’s loud, so get used to it!
But is it any good? Well, the answer just may very well surprise you.
Hit the jump to see my take on the movie. Oh, and as a warning, you should probably expect some spoilers. I’m going to attempt to keep them mild, but caveat … uh, whatever pig latin is for reader. Continue reading MasterChugs Theater: ‘Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen’
