Which Countries In The World Are Most Endowed?

Mandatory.com has done the research and added up the numbers for the countries with the biggest (and smallest) penises around the world.  Because that's the kind of info people love to find on the internet, right?

Before we get to the map (click to enlarge the images above) and list of the average erect penis sizes for 80 countries worldwide, here are some notable findings:

-The proper way to measure is from tip of the penis to the very bottom of the pubic bone.
-The global average is 5.5 inches.
-The most well hung country in our study is the Democratic Republic of the Congo (aka Congo), with an average of 7.1 inches.
-On average, South America is the most well hung continent (6.36 inches).
-North Korea has the smallest dick size on average (3.8 inches).
-Only 3 percent of men worldwide are over 8 inches. Only 6 percent of men actually need extra large condoms.
-Of the 80 countries included, the U.S. ranks #61 in average erect penis size.

What really happens inside a dishwasher?

 I have to admit to being a bit fascinated to find out what this was really like.

YouTube user Bito posts:

Always wanted to see what happens in my dishwasher after I close the door. Many of the other videos I saw had terrible lighting or bad angles.

Using a Hero 3. I had two light sources reflecting at different angles.

This was my third attempt. The biggest problem I had to overcome was the heat and battery time.

Ok, after a bit it's repetitive, but still to know how (or not) how your dishwasher actually gets anything clean was interesting.

I was born curious.

Faye Dunaway eats an egg

My friend Stafford sent me this today. Obviously an overseas commercial, it's fascinating to me in it's quiet simplicity. I love Faye's occasional eye contact.

Are you Right or Left Brained?

Quick 30 second test online by Sommer + Sommer to determine which side of your brain in more dominant.

Surprisingly, I came out"equal."  I have always thought that I the left side of my brain was much more dominant.

Take the quick test here.  You might be surprised.

This is an ad for mascara

According to Benefit and the "creative studio" that helped make the ad, the commercial is "intended to break the mold of the traditional beauty ad" by making mascara get "in-your-face gratuitous with your fave celebrity packages (wink, wink)." Like the Zesty Guy or the Old Spice guy that came before — except this time, the connection between man meat and product is even more tenuous.

Curious and fascinating in that the goats really do sound human.

Your brain on marijuana - in two minutes

From ASAPScience - Your brain on marijuana broken down for you in two minutes.

I love these videos. I'm a curious guy and wonder how things work.

I'm not a marijuana guy, but I don't have a problem with other folks enjoying it. However, it's cool to understand exactly what is happening when smoking pot. And interesting to know that the chemicals involved are similar to ones already at work in our brains.

Anyway - interesting stuff in two minutes for this short attention span guy...

New York Times: Memorable Presidential debate moments

From the New York Times, Sam Tanenhaus, editor of the Book Review, talks about some of the most memorable presidential debate moments of the televised era.

Really interesting stuff here. I never knew there were no debates between 1960 election and 1976 election.

Noah Kalina takes his own pic every day for 12 and a half years

Wow. Good for this guy for committing to this over 12.5 years.

I couldn't do anything for 12.5 years (other than be married to Michael...)

5 things that would surprise you about flight attendants

Heather Poole, a veteran flight attendant and the author of "Cruising Attitude," recently gave ABC News' "20/20" the inside scoop about flight attendants and flying the friendly skies that might surprise you:

!. They hate delays as much as you do
"Everybody's always surprised to learn that we're only paid for when the door is shut. ... So if there's a delay, or mechanical [problem], we're not getting paid."

2. They know when you're hiding your cell phone call
"When you're sitting there with your head between your legs, and you're talking to the floor," said Poole, "I don't think you have a friend down there. I know what you're doing."

3. They have sly ways of cutting your alcohol content
Ask any flight attendant what the biggest booster of passenger misbehavior is, and the answer will be: drinking. Flight attendants don't have to confront drunk passengers and visibly cut them off. They simply weaken the drinks.

4. They know when you're joining the mile-high-club in the restroom
"The bathroom line just keeps getting longer and longer and longer," Poole said. "So we knock. We pray they come out with their pants up."

5. They know when you're joining the mile-high-club in your seats
"When one passenger is sitting on top of another passenger, you have a pretty good idea of what might be happening there," Poole said. "Throw that blanket away!"

Interesting perspective on God's purpose for gays and lesbians

This was sent to me by my "anonymous best friend" who received it in an e-blast from an "adult video" website. I thought it was an interesting take - gays and lesbians are "God's divine natural birth control"?

Here's just part of the email:

But why did God create Homosexuals? Simple, God understood that humans liked and enjoined in a lot of sex ... and for the human race to evolve it could not quickly overpopulate in it early stages. For the human race to evolve, a portion of society could not produce offspring (later in the development of world population plagues, famine, disease restructured populations, as well as humans have this uncanny ability to wage war and murder each other, which also helped control population). But in God's grand scheme of natural order, Homosexuals are God's divine natural birth control, divine population control, divine family planning.

As part of God's design, He spread Homosexuals around in every society, every race, nationality and religion. I also might add that Homosexuals on the average are more creative, intelligent and more tolerant than the average person.

So it is that Homosexuals are God's special people, and societies and their religions throughout the world have sanctimoniously violated God's wishes, God's design. In fact, it's a violations of biblical proportions. Homosexuals were not only created in Gods image, but hold a special place in Gods design for the human race.

So, according to the author, gays and lesbians help prevent over-population.

Wait - gays can't reproduce on their own?

Michael! I think I just figured something out...

Off-beat experiment in attempts to hold hands with unsuspecting passersby.
