FULL STORY:  If KIM KARDASHIAN didn't "break the Internet" with her greasy, naked butt, she came pretty damn close.  Because the photos from that shoot were EVERYWHERE for a solid week.  And they're STILL popping up.  (Even in piñata form.)

 

 

Well, it looks like Kim's sister KOURTNEY wants in on that action, because she posed for some NUDE and NEARLY-NUDE photos for "DuJour" magazine.  And she's PREGNANT.  (Check 'em out here.  WARNING!!!  There's visible nipple in one.)

"It's a wonderful thing to be able to show my children these photographs one day and say, 'This was you inside.'"

How Long Would It Take to Have Sex With 10,000 People?

 

 

HIGHLIGHTS:  How long would it take you to have sex with 10,000 people?  If sex takes an average of 5.4 minutes, you'd spend 37.5 total days having sex.  But if you had sex with just one person a day, it would take 27 years to have sex with 10,000 people.

 

 

FULL STORY:  A former prostitute named Gwyneth Montenegro just released a memoir called "10,000 Men and Counting", where she talks about having sex with over 10,000 men in her life.

 

 

The website Jezebel.com decided to run the numbers to figure out just how long that would take.  Here's the math . . .

 

 

Sex takes an average of 5.4 minutes, not counting foreplay.

 

 

That means you would spend 37.5 total days having sex . . . or approximately 900 hours.

 

 

If you had sex once a day, it would take 27 YEARS of having sex with a new person every day.

 

 

But if you could get it up to 10 people a week, you could get it done in 19 years and three months . . . or maybe a nice round 20 years if you took a few days off from time to time.

FULL STORY:  Want to know why you're not getting very many matches on Tinder, even though you're benching 450 pounds in your photo?  That photo might be your answer.

 

 

A company inEnglandjust ran a study to find what kind of men get the most matches on Tinder, by having the same male model dress in five different styles.  Then they monitored how many matches each style got over two weeks.  Check out the results . . .

A New Diet Has You Eat All Your Food in Eight Hours, and Stop Eating at 4:00 P.M.

 

 

HIGHLIGHTS:  There's a new diet that's pretty simple:  You just eat all your food within eight hours, at the same times every day, and stop eating at 4:00 P.M.  The researchers say your body does a better job burning calories if it can predict when food is coming.

 

 

FULL STORY:  As far as fad diets go, this one sounds better than eating only radishes and pecans for two weeks or whatever.  As long as you're cool with going to bed STARVING.

 

 

Researchers at the Salk Institute inCaliforniasay they've figured out the tricks to helping you lose weight.  And according to them, you don't have to tweak your life TOO badly.  We disagree.  Anyway, here are the basics . . .

 

 

1.  Eat all of your meals within an eight-hour span.

 

 

2.  Eat all your meals at the same times every day.

 

 

3.  Don't eat anything after 4:00 P.M.

 

 

The researchers say it helps your body get on a schedule.  Basically, your body does a better job burning calories if it can predict when food is coming.

 

 

In their tests on mice, the mice who ate within an eight-hour window lost more weight than mice eating the exact same number of calories spread across a longer period.

 

 

It was especially effective in mice that were obese . . . by dropping down to the shorter eating timeframe, they dropped around 5% of their body weight in just a few days.  (Daily Mail)

Left-Handed People Earn 12% Less Over Their Lives Than Right-Handed People

 

 

HIGHLIGHTS:  A new study out of Harvard found left-handed people earn 12% LESS MONEY over the course of their lifetime than right-handed people.  And the researcher behind the study has just about the worst possible explanation . . . the BRAINS of lefties are slightly worse than right-handed people.

 

 

FULL STORY:  We already knew left-handed people were EVIL . . . we didn't realize they were also POOR.

 

 

An economist named Joshua Goodman atHarvardUniversityjust released the results of a study of more than 47,000 people, and found lefties earn LESS MONEY than righties.

 

 

A left-handed person makes about 12% less over the course of their lifetime than a right-handed person.

 

 

It gets worse.  Normally we'd give an optimistic caveat here, about how lefties can overcome this . . . but Goodman really didn't give one.  He says lefties probably earn less because their brains are slightly WORSE than righties' brains.

 

 

Quote, "Left-handed individuals show consistently lower cognitive skills and higher rates of mental and behavioral disabilities."  Yikes.  (Daily Mail)

 

 

Related Comedy:  According to a new study, lefties make less money than people who are right-handed.  And when lefties are president, everyone makes less money.

Except it's not actually unlimited coffee to the day you die.  Starbucks defines "life" as the next 30 years . . . and you get one free drink or food item a day.  Lame.  What . . . you expected a corporate contest without fine print?

 

 

Still . . . a free coffee a day through 2045 is pretty cool.  The estimated value of the prize is $54,000, which comes out to right around $5 per day.  You'll also get a 10-karat gold Starbucks card with your name engraved on it, that's supposedly worth $5,000.

 

 

You enter by buying something at Starbucks between now and January 5th.  You'll get a code on your receipt, which you enter at play.starbucks.com.

 

 

You're allowed to enter two times a day . . . but that means you'll have to buy two things at Starbucks every day for a full month.  (Time / Starbucks)
