Tech: Study: Guys, BPA is ruining your sex life. Uh, what’s BPA?

  • BPA is a chemical used in many plastics. New research into bisphenol-A, a chemical often mentioned as being dangerous for humans, suggests that guys in heat should be most concerned about its potential dangers. Research of 550 Chinese factory workers suggests that those who work closest with the chemical – used in a variety of products – have four times the normal level of sexual dysfunction. Thanks, random plastic we’ve never heard of. Thanks for nothing. source

U.S.: The scariest drunk-girl-nearly-hit-by-train video we’ll post today

  • This hair-raising video should teach you a lesson – when you’re drunk and about to get on the train, stay far away from the yellow line. The woman involved nearly got hit by a train in Boston after falling on the tracks almost immediately before the train came by. The train stopped within an inch of her life. Thank God.source

Politics: Holy crap, did you see Maine’s anti-gay-marriage ads?

  • Jesus Christ, wouldn’t you vote yes if you saw an ad this freaking scary-sounding? It makes gay marriage sound like a nightmare and a legal boondoggle. We’re kind of offended by the fact that scare tactics played such a huge role in this campaign. Even though more money went to the “No on 1” campaign, they still lost. Sigh.source
