Great news for anyone who’s ever been dumped for being too nice. A study conducted by Evolutionary Psychology has found that most women seek partners who are kind.

A magic trick that can “guess” your age and shoe-size has been confusing people on the internet this week. The trick involves asking someone to write down their shoe size without telling you. They must then multiply the figure by 5, add 50, multiply that number by 20, add 1015, and subtract the year of their […]

Props to this chap called Luke, who found an abandoned phone and handed it in. But unfortunately he cancelled out his good deed completely by proceeding to engage in a series of weird and unnecessary acts of what he probably saw as seduction.

A sex toy company has erected what it calls a ‘GuyFi’ booth on a New York street. The booth is apparently a place for men to “relieve stress” during the day and it just as creepy as it sounds.

Bugged out bunny. In an attempt to smuggle 2,493 pounds of marijuana into the United States, drug traffickers used orange duct tape to fashion pretend carrots. Sadly for them, it didn’t work. Officers in Pharr, Texas, found the weed masquerading as veg concealed within a commercial shipment of fresh carrots entering from Mexico. The street value of […]

Despite Liverpool impressing with their attacking play, the four first half goals at Anfield were shared between the homes side and Arsenal.

The world of football […]
