Top 10 Most Annoying Phrases
Nov 8, 2008 Funny News
Ohhh no, I used a few of the 10 rather often. Oh no oh no, I must have annoyed many guys around. At the end of the day, how often do you use them?
Not all University of Oxford researchers are uptight and humorless, “irregardless” of what you might think. In fact, a bunch of them compiled a list of the Top 10 Most Irritating Expressions in the English language — just because we needed one.
Though maybe “you could care less,” the scholars in question keep track of linguistic mangling and overused buzzwords in a database called the Oxford University Corpus. The voluminous record keeps track of books, magazines, broadcast, online media and other sources, watching for new overused, tiresome phrases and retiring those that fade from use (or misuse).
The great hierarchy of verbal fatigue includes:
1 - At the end of the day
2 - Fairly unique
3 - I personally
4 - At this moment in time
5 - With all due respect
6 - Absolutely
7 - It’s a nightmare
8 - Shouldn’t of
9 - 24/7
10 - It’s not rocket science

Fat Women Get More Sex
Nov 5, 2008 Funny News, Science
This is the conclusion of a study completed by researchers from University of Hawaii School of Medicine. Why am I not surprised at all? Honestly speaking, I would prefer a fleshy woman, than a skinny one, don’t really like the feeling of touching bones all over. How about you?
FAT women get more sex, research has revealed — proving size DOES matter.
Of 7,000 women studied, 92 per cent of those who were overweight had romped with a man.
Among “normal” sized women, the figure was 87 per cent.
The surprise results rubbish previous studies which concluded that chubby girls had a low libido, while skinny ones were more likely to be sexually active.
The results were the same even if women’s age, race and where they lived were taken into account.
Researchers also looked at how many partners women had, how often they had sex, when they became sexually active and whether they were gay or straight. But the only difference they found was that overweight women were more likely to have slept with a man.
Research leader Dr Bliss Kaneshiro, of the University of Hawaii School of Medicine, said: “These results were unexpected and we don’t really know why this is the case.
