When reading horizontally from Shakespeare's original published copy of Hamlet, the furthest left hand side reads 'I am a homosexual' in the last 14 lines of the book. Was this a message, or just a coincidence?
• Over 50% of all people fantasize more often about money than sex, so technically, Bill Gates is the hearthrob of the world.
• According to the World Health Organization, there are approximately 100 million acts of sexual intercourse each day.
• Every year, 11,000 Americans injure themselves while trying out bizarre sexual positions.
• More than half the American men surveyed in a recent poll admit to having sex with women they disliked. It didn't say how many were referring to their wives ;o)
• A female orgasm is a powerfull painkiller (because of the release of endorfines), so headaches are in fact a bad excuse not to have sex.
• In a recent interview with 10 prominent sex therapists, the question was posed, 'What is the most important aspect in love making?' One said 'relaxation', Three said 'honesty', and a whopping Six out of Ten said 'staying awake'.
• Although Hitler did condemn homosexual acts, he only condemned them between men. Lesbians were not condemned at all. They were rarely (if any at all) sent to concentration camps, because it was not in the laws written by Hitler to condemn women loving other women.
• Lip stick was said to have been invented in the Eygptian times for women that specialized in oral sex. They wanted their lips to look more inviting.
• Dolphins and humans are the only known animals that have sex for pleasure.
I guess this says a lot about my eating and tv watching habits but there is something perversely surreal about eating dinner in front of the telly while watching cooking shows.
I'm not sure what it is about cooking shows but you can understand why they are all the rage. They offer brain numbing entertainment that appeal to more than your visual and aural senses; a bit like pornography.
And just like the trustworthy porno, these cooking shows are full of inspirational ideas to try out in the privacy of your own home. As I found out today for example, a simple piece of toast can become gourmet food by simply rubbing it with a peeled clove of garlic before placing it in the toaster...or was that the porno?
But while cooking shows and cookbooks are all the rage at the moment, unlike pornography they haven't had the same impact on the internet. A misspelled google search won't throw up an array of unwanted food sites nor are you likely to find spam in your inbox asking if you're free tonight for a bbq.
Perhaps all it needs is for the 2 topics to be combined. I can see it now...Mothers Who Love To Cook!
