Research shows car steering wheels carry twice as many germs as toilets. Tests showed that steering wheels averaged 41,600 germs, compared with 17,400 on a toilet seat. Only 13 percent of people clean their cars regularly, while 5 percent never bother to clean them at all. Men clean their cars 14 times a year, while women manage 12 cleans. Those around 55 clean the most.

What do men and women have in common? We both love to stare into each other’s eyes. The eyes are the first thing we notice about the opposite sex. Men notice first (in order): eyes, smiles, breasts, hair, weight. Women notice: eyes, smiles, height, hair, dress sense.

To the delight of grownups everywhere, a study proved what we suspected all along: drinking alcohol can help us creatively solve problems. To test this, the authors gave the participants some bagels and a couple of vodka-and-cranberries, and then had them solve puzzles. The results? Study participants were better at solving the puzzles after the cocktails. So next time you feel stuck on a problem, go ahead — have a cocktail. (Usually when i have a few cocktails, I make bad decisions)

This isn't a new dating trend. But it's got a name now. "Roaching" is the new term for when you find out someone's cheating on you with lots of other people.
Cheating with one or two people doesn't count. It has to be more than that. So they're a serial cheater who's been seeing a bunch of other people behind your back.
It's called "roaching" because of that gross feeling you get when you turn on the lights in a room and see roaches scatter. So the people they're cheating with are the "roaches," not the person you're dating. Which seems a little unfair.
