NAZZY'S RANDOM STUFF (11-24-09)
THE AVERAGE WOMAN WORRIES ABOUT HER APPEARANCE 36 TIMES A DAY:
This study took place in the UK, but we have no reason to think the results would be any different here . . .
According to a new study by Britain's Independent Television Authority, the average woman has negative thoughts about her appearance 36 times a day. --That adds up to 252 negative thoughts a week . . . or 13,140 a year. (!!!) (Daily Mail)
HALF OF ALL DRIVERS BETWEEN THE AGES OF 18 AND 34 ADMIT THEY TEXT WHILE DRIVING:
A recent survey by a website called FindLaw.com found that ONE in TEN drivers between the ages of 18 and 34 admit they've sent or received an email, or surfed the Internet on their phone, while driving.
Meanwhile, TWO in THREE drivers admit they talk on their cell phone while driving, while HALF admit to TEXTING while driving. --This seems like the perfect time to remind you that last summer, a study by the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute found that texting while driving is 23 TIMES more dangerous than driving drunk. (Chicago Sun-Times / National Post)
KIDS WATCH TV FOR AN AVERAGE OF 2.4 HOURS A DAY AT HOME-BASED DAYCARE CENTERS:
If you're shelling out hundreds of dollars a week sending your kids to a home-based daycare center, you're going to want to listen up . . . --A new study from the University of Washington has found that the average kid spends 2.4 hours a day watching TV at home-based daycares. That's compared to just 24 minutes a day at daycare centers.
If you add that to the two or three hours of TV most parents let their kids watch at home, that means the average kid who goes to a home-based daycare spends more than ONE-THIRD of their waking hours in front of the idiot box.
A guy named Dr. Dimitri Christakis led the study. He says, quote, "We know what's good for children and we know what's not. High quality preschool can make a very, very positive difference. We're so far from meeting that, that we really have a lot of work to do . . .--"It's not what parents have signed up for. I'm not sure how many parents are aware of this." (AOL News)
AND NOW . . . SOMETHING CALLED ANTI "MONKEY BUTT" POWDER:
If you're into common products with "crazy" names, we've got a great one for you . . . --It's called Anti "Monkey Butt" Powder. It's an anti-chafing powder, sort of like Gold Bond. And if your butt is chafed and sore, you have to walk around all bowlegged . . . like a monkey.
Or, as the product website puts it, quote, "Anti Monkey Butt Powder is specially formulated to absorb excess sweat and reduce frictional skin irritation.
"It is ideal for butt-busting activities such as truck driving, motorcycling, bicycling, horse back riding, and extreme sports . . .
"Indoors or outdoors, work or play, or on occasions when you sit on your butt all day, don't let your buns get red. Use Anti Monkey Butt Powder instead!"
