Shawn Peters likes to fuck his wife in hotels. And he’s shared that with his readers at the Boston Globe:
So why is check-in a turn-on? Do hotel chains put pheromones in their air-conditioning units? Is there something in the newness of the location, giving couples a risk-free opportunity to “take their act on the road”? [...]

The Times has a light piece about Lauren J. Reilly, a 31-year-old Manhattanite who owns a stock 1981 DeLorean. She’s single, boys.
“One time I was down in Philly, and behind me I hear this megaphone from the cops,” she said. “They’re like, ‘Pull over!’ ”
Before Ms. Reilly could comprehend her violation, an officer delivered one [...]

Thanks to the charity of a Dethroner reader, we’ve been thinking about “Drops,” a liquid post-splashdown toilet odor eliminator. If you predict or routinely present above average post-defecatory bouquet you can simply press a button, passing olfactory judgement from your personal throne of kings. (Despite the name of this website, we do recommend keeping a [...]

Some online ad campaigns are really engaging—others are just plain annoying.
I have to give Taco Bell kudos on this one. You just cannot go wrong with trying to fulfill every guy’s fantasy of being a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit photographer. You get to pick which video of their model you’d like to watch, then snap pictures [...]

Seems the Canadian Mint has decided they understand the spirit of the 2008 Olympics well enough to crank out some collectors coins that promote them. I bet they are not cheap.
The Royal Canadian Mint on Wednesday introduced the world’s first gold and silver bullion coins promoting the spirit of the Olympic Games.
I’m beyond confused as [...]

Uncrate shared this amazing set of kitchen tools today.
For a mere $280 you get pots, pans, baking sheets, whisks, a dough scraper, knives, measuring cups, a vegetable peeler and a lot more. None if it is schmancy All-Clad or anything — but it all looks super functional and costs a hell of a lot [...]

Did your teacher ever piss you off in grade school? Scold one of your class-mates for doing something bad?
Did you collect up a broken steak knife, handcuffs, duct tape and other various make-shift weapons and go teach that educator a lesson? These kids did…
he scheme involved a division of roles, Tanner said. One child’s job [...]

» Evidently a fan of Ebert’s is trying to help Mars breed the supreme race of M&Ms.

Whenever I get a package of plain M&Ms, I make it my duty to continue the strength and robustness of the candy as a species. To this end, I hold M&M duels. Taking two candies between my thumb and forefinger, I apply pressure, squeezing them together until one of them breaks and splinters. That is the “loser,” and I eat the inferior one immediately. The winner gets to go another round.
M&Ms prove Darwin was right Thanks Ryan  # 0

» We just cracked a 750 of “Forêt,” an organic saison from Brasserie Dupont. The reviews on Beer Advocate are sort of mixed, but as far as I’m concerned it’s a knockout: bright, light, full of the best tastes of summer. One of the best saisons I’ve ever had. # 1
