They like sex so much, they spend a lot of time searching for it online. Go figure. (You can tell I’m about to delve into really highbrow, heady stuff here…) Researchers Ogi Ogas and Sai Gaddam recently published a book, A Billion Wicked Thoughts, detailing their analysis of 400 million searches they collected from the Dogpile search engine. Of those 400 million searches, 13 percent (55 million) were for erotic content. How did those 55 million searches break down? Let’s find out… but let’s also look at the methodology of these researchers to see if their findings are worth the paper that they are printed on. (If you think not, you’re probably right.) So here’s what people on Dogpile search for when it comes to sexual interests. N...

A lot of crap, right? The average person tosses four pounds of trash a day. But get this: An eco-friendly couple in Oregon created just four pounds of trash over 365 days. They decided to go debris-free for an entire year, and through recycling, buying locally grown food, and composting, they accumulated around 75 pieces of small trash during that time. Crazy. Could you do it? via The Huffington Post Post from: BlissTree Trash-Free for a Year: Are You Eco-Friendly Enough?

A Bates-esque motel off of the highway with roaches? Perhaps a gem in the middle of nowhere that reeked of B.O.? No matter how disgusting your travel accommodations have been, we guarantee you’ve never stayed anywhere as trashy as the eco-friendly Save the Beach Hotel in Europe. This Rome hotel is made from 12,000 kilograms (about 2,645 pounds) of garbage that was collected from Europe’s beaches. It’s part of a campaign from an environmental group called Save the Beach, and it’s trying to give beach-goers a look at what their shores will soon look like if they don’t stop littering on them. While we don’t plan on booking a room anytime soon, we do love the ide...

But just like a random shoe in the middle of the highway, we still wonder: How does it all get there? While the mystery of the shoe in the median might never be solved, Jim Toomey, the cartoonist behind Sherman’s Lagoon, took his water-bound characters on a journey to explain the trash you see floating on the sea.

Usually, this client silences her phone and puts it away before our session, without any prompting from me. This time, she glanced down at it, pushed a few buttons, and resumed our conversation. I let it go. Two minutes later: buzz…buzz…buzz… My client looked down again and started pushing buttons. I called her out. “What’s up with the phone today? Usually you put it away. Is something going on?” “It’s just Facebook updates.” She pushed a few buttons again and put the phone in her pocket. I didn’t hear it vibrate again during the rest of the session. In my group theories class, we’ve been discussing the concept of process commentary, which Irvin Yalom described in his book The Theory a...

I thought it would be of no interest to anyone other than it being gross in the first place! But today after hearing about the garbage crisis in Naples Italy on the news, I thought we must put the problem in the spot light. Here are a few pictures from the ones that I took.Now here are a couple pictures from Naples, Italy. They are not my own. I found them on Google Images and they are published on several blogs.
