A study was conducted whose conclusion was that <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/livescience/20081201/sc_livescience/cleanpeoplearelessjudgmental" target="_blank">clean people are less judgmental</a> than dirty/unwashed people. How did these researchers come up with their conclusion? They had two controlled groups — one clean, one dirty — and had them make judgments on a series of moral dilemmas. They found that the more unwashed the person, the harsher their judgment. What I'd like researched is how the researchers came up with these moral dilemmas. I think you know which one I'm taking issue with . . .

(As much as you can understand any problems a millionaire would have.) Without getting into the he said/she said details, this "eccentric entrepreneur" paid Virginia-based Space Adventures a buttload of money so that he could dress up as his favorite cartoon character and, through Space Adventure's alliance with the Russian space agency, be the first space tourist to do a spacewalk.

She started stripping at 40 after a nasty divorce, was doing well monetarily, and had regular customers. But one day, her boss said, "Your time is up here."

I don't doubt that there were customers who preferred her looks and age, but I also don't doubt that stripping is mostly a young woman's game. What I find incredible is the hysterical conversation that comes up over this in this Fox News clip. First, anchor Megyn Kelly gets wished "Happy Birthday" and says, "Thankfully I'm not yet 44!" (Isn't that a tad inappropriate given the subject?) Then, the Fox News legal analyst says that if Ouwroulis's boss merely made "just one remark, that's not discrimination." Ummm, wha? "You're too old, scram!" isn't discrimination? I didn't go to law school, but that doesn't sound right. What does all of this bring up for you all? About stripping? Age? Fox News? Etc.?

US medics report that when students studying how to do CPR listened to the Bee Gees '70s hit "Stayin' Alive" while practicing chess compressions, following the beat of the song helped them space the compressions properly. When performed properly with the recommended rate of 100 chest compressions per minute, CPR triples cardiac arrest survival rates. Speaking of the disco classic's effect on students, one doctor said, "It drove them and motivated them to keep up the rate. . ."
