average person wastes two hours of work each day
Do you spend all eight miserable hours at your job working? Well, then you are only below-average. You should be spending at least two hours doing nothing productive to at least catch up to the person next to you. See if you can beat them by spending two hours just before your lunch break. That will teach that bitch who always steals your lunch a lesson.
Let’s get serious, now. The normal person seems to be wasting 20 per cent of their work day. That is a huge portion. I never really thought about it, but I always spend a little time here, a little there slacking off. It probably adds up.
The younger you are, the more likely you are to spend more time goofy off. People in their 20’s say that they spend on average 2.1 hours doing non-work related activities each day. Imagine the people who had to offset those nerdy over-achievers who say they spend zero hours slacking off.
Why is so much time being wasted? The biggest reasons were that there was not enough work to do and that the work was not challenging enough.I always hate these two and prefer to have a lot to do over pretending to be doing something useful when I’m not. What do you think?

quick and dirty: truths about sex
Here’s some quick facts backed by actual scientific evidence:
Only 54% of men think about sex everyday. 43% think about sex once a week to a few times a month and the rest think about sex even less than that.- As soon as a woman enters a relationship, her sex drive (libido) begins to fall. This is not true for men. Men will always have a similar sex drive no matter how long they have been in a relationship. This might explain why men are more likely to cheat than women.
- The average erect penis size is just over 5 inches. 5.08in and 5.35in are two numbers found by two independent studies. Both these studies seemed reliable, unlike most studies of this type that have men measure their own penis size.
- HIV is a lot harder to get than “they” would have you believe. If a man wears a condom the chances he will get HIV from having sex is 1 in 50,000,000. Without a condom, it is at least ten times as likely. Women can get HIV more easily then men and the chances of a woman contracting the diseases while sleeping with an infected man is 1 in 1,000.
- The average sexual encounter lasts between 3 and 10 minutes.

Two More Reasons Why You Shouldn’t Smoke Pot
While smoking (cigarettes) in the balcony of my friend’s downtown Miami apartment, I reminded myself of a discussion I had online with another friend. Just for the sake of argument I took the stand that says cannabis (the marijuana plant) is bad for you, but she took the opposite stand and told me there was no such proof. Well, after reading many research studies I discovered that, like everything else, there are people saying both things. No real conclusion right? Well yeah, pretty much. It sucks, but I’ll have to leave those details for another time. Here, I have found two brand new reasons why you shouldn’t smoke pot.

It’s all downhill from here: How music quality being replaced with loud noise
To make it easier for you to hear your music on crappy stereo players, the record industry has been continuously increasing the volume of the songs you purchase.
Thank goodness, at least now I can hear all those low beats, right? WRONG, well technically right, but you lose the high beats. As anyone who has ever worked in video editing, sound editing, or anything else weird A/V (audio/video) geeks do on their spare time will tell you, as you increase the sound of a whole song all the medium sound level beats become high beats and the high beats stay as high beats. In effect, this diminishes the quality of the song as the original song was recorded.
The following video demonstrates what the record labels have been doing for years:
