A Drink (or Two) A Day Keeps the Reaper Away

January 9, 2008 By The Guys

A new Danish study shows that drinking can help reduce your chances of heart disease. The study, which started in the 80’s and followed the health and lives of almost 12,000 people, showed that people who neither drink nor exercise had about a 50% higher chance of getting heart disease.

The study also found that non-drinkers were almost a third more likely to die from heart disease compared with people drinking moderately – up to two drinks a day. The risk remained no matter how much exercise was taken by abstainers.

Husband Trades in Wife for $750,000

January 8, 2008 By The Guys

OK, not exactly–his wife actually left him for her boss, a wealthy realtor. But Mississippi plumber Johnny Valentine did something about it that didn’t involve driving over to his house with guns–he took the sonofabitch to court. And won.

Turns out Mississippi (along with about five other states) has a law that allows a cuckolded spouse to seek damages for “loss of society, companionship, love and affection,” as well as “the loss of sexual relations.” And with her admission of adultery in hand (not to mention the daughter that apparently was quite obviously not his), he was awarded $750,000.

I’m sure that by us posting this, that Men’s Journal’s Web site traffic will go through the roof, and they’ll contact us to finally figure out how they should be publishing on the Web.

Joking aside, I only hope that Men’s Journal isn’t one of those stupid Web sites that takes content down after a month, or moves it to a pay only archive, or one of the other countless stupid things that print publications tend to do to prevent potential visitors from seeing their articles on the Web. Because their Casualties of the NFL article is one that should … more>>

Extreme Motorcycles

January 7, 2008 By The Guys

In our travels around the Web today, we stumbled across the top picture of a unicycle here. Even if it does look a bit like Mr. Garrison’s “It” from South Park, albeith without the uncomfortable controls.

Anyway, that image led us to this ‘Cycles Extreme‘ page, which led us to som information on a motorcycle we remember writing about a long time ago, the Dodge Tomahawk.

What we don’t remember writing about is that apparently, back in 2005, Dodge actually did produce 10 of the 500 hp Tomahawks with the 8.3L V10 Dodge Viper engine, and … more>>

World Series of Beer Pong

January 4, 2008 By The Guys

Beer Pong for $50,000. No wonder the terrorists hate us. What are the odds that ESPN is airing this by 2009?

The three day “competitive beer pong extravaganza” wraps up tomorrow at the South Point Hotel, Casino & Spa in Vegas (been there 5 times in the last two years, and I have no idea where that is). It’s the third year of the event, which started with a $10,000 prize in 2005. Last year, fresh out of the University of Michigan, Jason Coben and Nick Velissaris beat out more than 160 other competitors to split the $10,000 prize.… more>>
