Lies Cosmo Tells Women

Here’s a nice “article” taken from Double Viking (linked through from Digg) That exemplifies the rubbish magazines like Cosmopolitan spits out. The author says it best:

Cosmopolitan Magazine has become a bible for the martini swilling, fashion conscious, and orgasm starved female. While this magazine has been helpful to women by aiding them in achieving the perfect bikini wax, it has regularly clouded their minds about men. In fact, I would say that Cosmopolitan has done more damage to men than Barry Bonds has done to baseball.

I Wholeheartedly agree with this, as does my GF. She even pointed out that the regular features like Understanding His Baffling Behavior say the same goddamn thing differently over and over again, and makes it seem like they have some new juicy information on the male psyche when in fact it’s the same old garbage recycled.

I’ve repasted verbatim the contents of the Double Viking article to save you the jump and included some of my input where applicable.

An apple a day…

No, this isn’t about Apple Inc. Instead this is some text copied verbatim from this article. Pretty interesting.

“An apple a day keeps the doctor away”… but why? Do you really know what makes an apple so special? Why is it that we never hear an orange or a banana a day keeps the doctor away? Apples have properties that no other fruit have and its benefits have been proven overtime.

It has been shown over and over that if it’s not simple, easy and fast, people won’t take care of their health.

Deathly Hallows leaked

For you download savvy users out there, fire up your torrent clients. A PDF of the last installment of Harry Potter has been making rounds and it seems like the real deal this time. See for yourself:

That’s what the 70MB+ PDF contains; camera shots of pairs of pages at a time. Honestly, given that the book is coming out in 3 days anyway – it would be wiser to just wait for it, lest you rather destroy your eyes trying to read from the images.

If anyone finds a text only version, just make sure that the first chapter is called “The Dark Lord Ascending” and gimme a holler 🙂 I only got the first ten chapters in fulltext.
