Back in a simpler time, when a cup of coffee cost a dime, a movie cost a nickel, and a senate seat in New Jersey cost maybe a hundred bucks, the mass of men made their livings with their muscles.
People of our sex built the Hoover Dam, erected the Empire State Building, and turned millions of damp basements into paneled palaces.
But alas, nowadays, fewer and fewer of us wrestle with I beams. We make our livings tricking people into giving us money. The venue? The business meeting.
Here are a few pointers for prevailing in style:

Finding fitting pants ain’t as easy as it seems. Here are 4 rules to find the perfect fit pants.
Pants should clasp comfortably at the waist, without any strain. If they’re even a little too small, the pockets will stick out.

Full-blown diabetes is easy to spot: frequent, uncontrollable urges to urinate; virtually unquenchable thirst; numbness in your hands and feet.
But the symptoms leading up to the full-blown disease are easily ignored. And ignorance isn’t bliss; it’s amputation—or death.
Here are the top 4 silent alarms:
Unless an unemployed XFL cheerleader asks for a spot, we hate interruptions in the gym. But pausing at different points while you’re lowering a weight (it’s called negative interruption) can make you stronger.
The pauses keep your muscles under continuous tension longer and increase the load at various points in the range of motion, which means [...]
A post-workout cool-down can be like great sex after your mate makes you sit through an opera. You remember the fantastic finish, not the tedium that led to it.
A researcher at Springfield College in Massachusetts put students through two stationary-bike workouts:15 minutes with no cooldown, and 15 minutes plus a 5-minute cooldown. Most students said [...]
Ever wondered why you’re getting nightmares? You will get a different answer from almost everyone you ask. Parents can get nightmares, if their children were using drugs or because their kid are stealing, or maybe just because they hang out with the wrong people.

You haven’t slept or slept too little for a couple of nights? Then it’s time to recharge yourself… but if you haven’t slept for 3 days, it doesn’t mean you have to sleep 3 times longer then what you have missed.

Humans are the only mammals which are able to cry and produce treas at a emotional stimulus. Till today the science can’t give an explanation why there are tears if we have pain and feeling sad.
Some anthropologists believed it’s a initially defense mechanism for panic situations: the eyes will be cleaned and as a result [...]
You’ve probably heard it before (usually from that fat guy who is trying to get out of his new year’s resolution to lose weight) : cycling is bad for your manlihood. “Literally, because it can damage the litle soldier and his two sidekicks”.
So how much of it is true? If you ride less than 50 [...]
Ever wondered how food manufacturers know how many calories their food have. A few years go, the answer is simple. The product will be burnt. The heat from that is measured and there you have it: the total of calories! Two problems though.Not all products can be burnt (diet coke anyone?), also the measuring result [...]
Are you trying to lose weight? Then better get a good night sleep! It does seem logical, if you’re sleeping, you can’t eat. But it’s not that simple. When the human body is deprived of sleep, it’s concentration of leptine will be deminished. Leptine is a protein hormone produced by fat cells. The more fat [...]
