Here are ten that you can bet won’t be making it onto even a direct-to-video sequel in the years to come.” w/ photos

“If Jesus or Tupac ever finally return like we’ve all been saying they will, they should probably do it in a Judd Apatow film or something like that. We love cameos, don’t we?

In the decades since, I’ve spent most of my career teaching economics and public policy. In particular, I’ve studied happiness and well-being, about which we now know a great deal.

Here, then, is what I wish someone had told the Class of 1988.” w/ photos

“One example of how a guy pampers himself is ‘manscaping,’ or simply 21st century lingo for body hair removal. This trend was often associated with male models, porn stars, bodybuilders and even guys like Sean Combs or David Beckham, but today a lot of average Joes are joining in.
