Holy S**t–He Beat My GPA

July 22, 2008 By The Guys

We’ll ignore for the moment the fact that all t-shirts like this one are comparing a scale that usually goes to 4.0 and a scale on which 0.5 technically means you’re dead–at least in the state of Rhode Island, where a man was arrested early Tuesday with a measured blood alcohol reading of .491. That’s over six times the legal limit in every state in the Union.

Even more impressive, he wasn’t even unconscious. After crashing into a highway sign, he had trouble getting out of the car, and then grabbed it and refused to move. Despite being significantly … more>>

Three Articles That (Unfortunately) Caught Our Eye

April 23, 2008 By The Guys

As you may have noticed if you’ve seen more than one of our posts, there is a wide variety to the sites that we visit on a given day. We also use MyYahoo! to track a fair number of RSS feeds–and for some stupid reason, one day a few years ago, we included the Entertainment Feed on Yahoo as a part of that. And now, even though it annoys us, every once in a while, we see a headline, and feel compelled to click.

This one isn’t even Entertainment related (unless you like train wrecks), but the link headline was … more>>

Masturbation: Not Just Exercise Anymore…

April 22, 2008 By The Guys

God bless those Aussies–they’ve published the results from a study that indicates that regular masturbation may cut prostate cancer risks amongst males.

The study indicates that men who ejaculated more than five times a week were a third less likely to develop prostate cancer later in life.

And, to top it off–intercourse may not have the same effect.

So, next time your wife catches you looking at internet porn, and asks what you’re doing, you can tell her “I’m just preventing cancer, honey.”… more>>

Ultimate Waste of Money?

March 31, 2008 By The Guys

Unlike many people, the whole Guitar Hero thing hasn’t struck a chord with us here at Manlyweb–we can’t play a real guitar, but if my choices were to try to learn Guitar Hero, or learn the real guitar, the real guitar wins every time–at least chicks might dig that.

Even our most frequent hangout, known for beer, wings, and owls, has fallen prey, recently bringing in an Xbox, and has regular Guitar Hero tournaments. We typically sit in a back corner and mock those playing, and wonder how they expect to make money from a bunch of kids who order … more>>

Virginia Law Makers Go Too Far

January 16, 2008 By The Guys

They can take away our cigarettes, and tax us to hell and back, but the state lawmakers in Virginia have taken things too far this time–they’re trying to take away my balls.

To be specific, they’re trying to make it a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of up to $250 to hang a pair of fake nuts from your trailer hitch.

The idea and motivation, however, came from a constituent upset that his young daughter had caught sight of the facsimile sex organs and asked what they were.

“I didn’t know what to tell her,” Spruill said, quoting the constituent, … more>>

Frenchwoman on trial for kissing “art”

October 9, 2007 By The Guys

French prosecutors Tuesday requested a hefty fine and a civics course against a woman who planted a lipstick-red kiss on a piece of artwork by US artist Cy Twombly. Seems fairly straight forward, until you read the details:

1) The piece of “artwork”, valued at 2 million Euros (which is somehow damn near $3 million US dollars), was a pure white canvas. Not a Mona Lisa, not a Starry Night, not even a Dogs Playing Poker–just a pure white canvas. Excuse me while I run to Home Depot to get a gallon of pure white–I promise I’ll sell … more>>
