Scientist conducting a study

We’ve just posted the Summer 2010 column, titled The Humorless Twit Says “Study This.” Here’s a little snippet:

Most recently, the news had on a story about a study that noted sleeping too little can shorten your life (by the way, for those of you who recall, I have a now one-year-old son I wrote about for last summer’s issue and as I write this, I had a measly three hours of sleep last night [which might explain this column...]).

That got me to thinking about all the other studies I’ve heard about in the past that claim if you engage in behavior A, your life will be shortened by X years (or Y percent). So I decided out of sheer boredom curiosity to see which of these supposedly life-shortening behaviors I take part in, and by how long my life will be shortened.

Before we forget, just a little note to let you know we’ve updated the World’s Most Boring Website. We redesigned it–we know, it begs the question “Why would you want to redesign a boring website?”

We’ve added a ton more stuff to it, most notably, one of the most boring books we’ve ever tried unsuccessfully to read all the way through: War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy.

The November column is now online. Also, there was no December column due to… dust. I’ll get into that in a future column.

A potential shoe thief

A potential shoe thief

Imelda Marcos would be proud:

A fox has been unmasked as the mystery thief of more than 100 shoes in the small western German town of Foehren, authorities said Friday.

We’ve just posted the May 2009 column, The Humorless Twit’s Recipe for Disaster. Here’s a little preview:

1. Peel and dice potatoes.
2. Cut finger, bleed on potatoes, curse, bandage finger.
3. Rinse potatoes.
4. Place potatoes in a pot.
5. Add cold water to cover.
6. Bring to a boil over high heat.
7. Bandage catches fire, burning cut finger; curse up a storm.
